@Tfmonkey oh JFC I just realized i didn’t even answer your answer in that giant diatribe. Besides medical intervention there’s a supplement called “Boron” you can buy which supposedly lowers the SHBG and frees up that testosterone. There’s other stuff too but that’s the main thing people recommend for this issue. Maybe experiment with that until you find a new doctor…
@Tfmonkey imbalance. For me it was high cortisol but the cause might be different you. Best to figure this out with a doctor, I suppose! But I feel like I’m my mid 20s now…
@Tfmonkey I had similar numbers to yours a few years ago. Total T was high, SHGB was high but my FREE T was on the lower side and according to my doctor the FREE T number is more important than your Total T because it’s the form of T that your body actually USES, as I understood it. SHGB is a protein that keeps T bound in the blood so the higher presence of that in your body, the less effective your body can utilize T. It’s an inverse relationship. You just gotta find what’s striking this
@Tfmonkey that SHBG number is astronomically high and you gotta bring it down if you want your body to bind all that T to your tissues. Don’t know why your numbers are like that but there’s something more going on there.
