Minds' Hair Test and Log

Hello. First of all, I wish best to everyone and many thanks to all the people who share information on this forum. It's life-saving.

I'm post accutane user. I learned about this forum from @Orion some time ago but was trying to push myself turning a blind eye to health. I received from him quotations of @gbolduev, which helped to understand many issues especially about diets. That's how I found this forum.

The main problems are:
-no energy
-brain fog
-wounds/muscles don't heal
-dry skin
+ things got worse after I got surgery 1.5 year ago because digestion stopped working and I got tinnitus after this.

These are tests from my local laboratory. I also wait for the results from ATL.

I tried fasting in the past but everything got worse. I'm 26, 5'9, was ~120 lbs (53-55kg) for a long time. 128 lbs (58kg) at the moment. My diet: veggies + protein + 200g rice total. I was undereating for a long time, sometimes ~1300-1400 calories for months, I think this has greatly influenced not for the better but I don't know how to get calories.

God bless.

Hey, good to see you here. Your test has lots of low values, did you get the written ARL recommendations(supplements/minerals)? Seems you would be fast oxidizer, so no fasting for you.

Following the HCl/Electrolyte protocol and ARL rec's will be the best start, along with eating enough calories from whole foods.
Electrolyte Protocol

I was trying to stick to mr. G recomendation and general ATL diet for 1 month but without electrolytes because I didn't know much about my analyzes. Just using thorn multi for 3 weeks + thorne digestive enzymes with hcl + aminos with veggies and protein.

You need to get out of 3 lows. Eat like a maniac, use hcl + digestive enzymes. Make sure your diet is nutritious. Avoid stress when you can.

@InspiringMinds You were with high ca/p, ca/k and low na/mg ratios in your first hair test and the second one shows just the opposite: low ca/p, ca/k and high na/mg. From what can be read as slow oxidation in your first one, recently appear you are in fast oxidation !?
You must be following certain suppl and diet plan to go from one type of metabolism into another. What is the timeframe of those two hair tests ?
The first test was done in a local laboratory. I think it's right to trust ARL. And I myself tend to the second option because fasting was one of the main reasons for my worsening condition.

Those two looks like completely different tests. Maybe you'd like to share a bit more when you did the first one in comparison to the second and at what point you did fasting and you felt not well from it. First test look like ARL but not from their usual template but a bit different, surely true ARL would be trustworthy, but that does not mean the first one is not presenting the metabolism correctly. Thats why i was asking if they were did at different time.
I put the results from my laboratory into their sample for clarity. They were made at the same day. I sent hair for analysis on May 21th. Got results from local lab on 25, from ATL - 6 May.
