Your reports do show multiple deficiencies that can explain the fatigue, body pains, low energy, hair fall, and concentration issues 👍 The good part is that many of these are treatable and improve gradually with the right correction plan. Since hair loss and hormones also need proper evaluation together, I’d strongly suggest booking a detailed consultation so we can review everything step by step and guide you properly.
