Low T, High SHBG, Low E2 - Looking for advice

[Slacker78]

Appreciate your feedback.
ASAT and ALAT are within range, at least according to the references. Where should they be in your opinion?

Is there a way to free up test from SHBG? As far as I'm concerned, I would get some nice benefits in favor of gains.

Excluding AAS, you have to worry to decrease SHBG production in itself. Insulin and androgens decrease SHBG amount while their deficit, might increase it ( thyroid hormones could increase it also ). In your snapshot, or rather in endocrine stressed system state, it's reliable having SHBG so high.

As Youthful55Guy told, your system could be genetically programmed to have "normal" SHBG in a specific range value.

For these matters, i advice you to follow the 3 points i told you above and re-test after 10-15 days. Don't take drugs for the moment, otherwise will be hard to understand if your endocrine collapse is given by an endocrine damage or by an endocrine stress.

I agree. You should straighten out your nutrition and exercise first. Then retest in a couple months.

Yes, you can test for SHBG. They do that when they test for Free T, so it's in your last set of labs. I made a long post previously on the only viable ways to control SHBG for guys genetically programmed for high SHBG. I suggest you read that carefully and understand that this is a lifelong approach before you do anything.

Can you perhaps send me the link to it? Will definitely look into it.

Basically, I know what to do differently in the future. Will do BW again in a month or two and update you regarding the results.
Did I understand it right that my next BW should include TSH, FT4 and also cortisol?

btw, what's your take on pre workout products including stimulants? Could be another stress factor, right?

TSH, FT4, FT3, Prolactin, cortisol.

No. It's enough what you told with the evidence of your BW, to figure out you probably are in a endocrine crash. Wrong diet and over-training is the culprit. Follow our advices and get what happen.

Received the results in the meantime. Can you conclude any more info based on these?

I don't have a link handy. Is suggest you either scroll through the forum for a string I started on Anavar and SHBG suppression. I think it was somewhere in the August to October 2017 timeframe. You might want to also search the forum for those same keywords. It's there somewhere.
