[QUOTE="ResearchIt, post: 214419, member: 43366"] What do you guys think about this? With a little bit of exercise and effort on my part, I can keep my total T levels around 600 plus a few points. So while my natural T isn't super high, it's not really low either. My free T is low and my SHBG is high. Interestingly, my DHT and Free Estradiol are high. There were mentions above of estrogens being strong drivers of SHBG production as well as possibly trying Anastrozole to reduce estrogen levels. This got me thinking that perhaps my body is converting too much T into DHT and Free Estradiol and, since SHBG binds to DHT and Estradiol (albeit less so than T), that maybe my body is producing more SHBG than normal to try to constrain my high DHT and Free Estradiol levels. If that is the case, unfortunately the increase in SHBG production is lowering my Free T as well. If this theory is correct, then I should explore why my body converts too much T into DHT and Estradiol. Is there any merit to the theory above? If so, and I know we all have issues unique to us, but is this a common pattern with some guys and are there common solutions to it? [/QUOTE]
