Fatty liver !

https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?6579-LOW-SHBG-not-due-to-ANYTHING

I opened a thread a few weeks ago, and I was really upset because I seemed fine, no signs of prediabetes or anything but had a really low SHBG... When I had blood work done, my AST was fine but my ALT was just a bit out of range, and I thought it was due to alcohol intake over the weekend. Then I read one of Nelson's post about Fatty liver and low SHBG, then it hit me there that I might have a fatty liver due to past steroid usage, because when I first started using steroids, I was fine, I felt great on testosterone... but lately I wasn't even responding to TRT. With all those in mind, I went to my doctor and told her I have a fatty liver, she said she doubts it but signed me an ultrasound exam anyway. It turns out I do have a fatty liver, it's not that severe

Any suggestions to reverse it ?
 
IMHO I think what you eat has a bigger impact over supplements.
I agree with Paul. One of my sisters had a fatty liver. She stopped eating after her last meal of the day and only drinks water. That healed her liver.

choline inositol supplement, all the old school bodybuilders swore by it

Yes, that's exactly what I have found online (in a video where a doctor says the same thing), I'm gonna take 2 grams of each, 1200mgs of NAC and 500mgs of Tudca, and 3 liver 52 pills a day

My Fatty liver is not diet related, I have better diet than most people. It's the past steroid usage... I stopped abusing AAS last year.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
