I've been having some problems and I need some advice

[hammerheart]

I do suspect it, but I'm just not a medical professional. I wouldn't trust myself when it came to this kind of diagnosis.

I just don't know how I'd feel getting my own. Not sure i want to delve into that kind of world either. The criminal element, not to mention I'd have no idea what i'm doing with it or if i'm even getting good stuff or vegetable oil.

From a test I had about 18 months ago, these were the things given:

|Hormones|
S TESTO: 27 nmol/L
S SHBG: 40 nmol/L
cFreeTesto: 550 pmol/L

|Thyroid|
S TSH: 1.11 mU/L

Dude, I meant run blood checks on your own... this is legit depending on your location.

Besides, your readings look good, only that SHBG is a tad high, and my suggestion here is to apply some simple strategies to dial it down.

What is your carb intake? Insulin from glucose helps to reduce SHBG. Then you can take some supplements: fish oil, vitamin D3 (1-2k IU daily), Zinc citrate, Boron chelate.

Ever tested thyroid?

Ha, I thought you meant if he doesn't prescribe something then source it on my own. Might have misread you there!

At the moment my carb intake is low (140). Even when it's high (lets say I do 230P, 340C, 80F for 8 weeks I won't put on much muscle mass at all and the changes are negligible apart from obvious adipose gain.

I have used supps in the past but I haven't bothered with them lately.

What did you take? Are you currently taking creatine? It's a great supplement and it can increase DHT in some ppl.

I have tried the creatine, arginine and was taking stacks of vitamins a few years back. I don't think they did much for me though.
