Chronically high SHBG and low free test (not on trt)

All those bar Vit D have been tested and are in range, I take 3000IU of Vit D daily so I would think that would be ok. TSH, T3 and T4 are all in range. LH is generally around 2.5-3 and FSH 5. Cortisol is all perfect. Thanks for the info man

Wolff Parkinson White, its a genetic heart defect that creates an extra electrical loop in your heart. Waiting to see cardiologist before jumping on trt, one thing at a time. What is your protocol? Did you also have doctors telling you it's all in your head and free testosterone doesn't matter ?

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.
