I have been on a low-carb diet combined with intermittent fasting for 3 months, transitioning towards a ketogenic diet with daily carb intake between 20-50 grams and daily calorie intake around 1500 kCal, reducing to 1100-1300 kCal recently due to a weight loss plateau. I experience occasional dizziness when standing up suddenly, and I am unsure if it is related to my diet. I am approaching 3 months on this diet and would like to know if I am doing everything fine. What kind of blood tests or urine tests would you recommend for someone on a very low-carb diet?

I have a spot on my penis that hurts whenever clothing rubs against it or it is touched. Visually, it looks completely normal. The pain is sharp and comes and goes when touched. It's been this way for about two weeks with no other symptoms. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a mole on my skin that I'm concerned about. I'm scheduling an appointment with a doctor, but I'm feeling anxious and wanted to hear your opinion. Can you review photos of the mole and provide your assessment?

I'm a 73-year-old healthy woman experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, including a tight chest, dizziness when moving, a dry cough, and a low-grade fever several days ago. I am not vaccinated and take supplements like krill oil, red yeast rice, zinc, magnesium, and one-a-day vitamins. What else can I do to manage my symptoms and improve my condition?

I have a visible pile that has been bleeding intermittently. I did a fecal occult blood test in December 2021 which was negative, but a recent test was positive, though the line was faint. I am concerned about the possibility of bowel cancer. Can piles cause a positive fecal occult blood test, and should I still be worried about cancer despite my previous negative test and visible piles?
