    Main reason shbg is low in people is usually them being overweight and having too much fat on them. The thing is there really is no way to raise your shbg levels are there?
    Low shbg = higher conversion to estrogen

    Something I haven't been able to figure out is low shbg actually bad long term and is there any way to change that? I have heard you can't raise shbg it finds its own level and stays there...

    Nope there is a correlation between low SHBG and metabolic syndrome but that doesn't imply causation.

    Low SHBG itself is not a problem but for ppl on TRT it means sharper "peak and valleys" and thus increased conversion to E2.

    SERMs like nolva or clomid are estrogen agonists in the liver, so they might help raising SHBG.
