I do exercise by the way more than you ever imagine .
There is a genetic component to this that these people don't understand . You always get responses like : Insulin resistance , weight loss , fiber , Caffeine , Metformin , Berberine , fasting ... Blah Blah blah . I have everything in order . 6'1 168 lbs , 4.9 A1C , Fasting Insulin 4 , Glucose 83 , HDL 54 , TRIG 34 , ALT 15 AST 13 , GGT 10 . Yet I cannot get my SHBG above 16 if my life depended on it . And TRT makes me feel like garbage . I did also feel garbage with my own 334 T levels . The only time I felt good was week 2 of TRT for 4-5 days and that s it .
The problem with Low SHBG is that you will get the side effects (Oily skin , Hair loss , excessive body hair growth , moodiness , shit libido , shit sleep ...) from T and E but not the benefits because no natural guy has a Total T of 800 and a SHBG of 16 . Something is wrong and out of whack here . I am chasing mental clarity , good EQ , good libido , sense of well being , quality sleep . All of which needs HORMONAL BALANCE. Having a TT of 800 with a SHBG of 13-16 is NOT FREAKING BALANCE .
Some people do OK with Low SHBG . A lot of people like myself do suffer massively .
I have heard all of these answers before ( Insulin Resistance , Weight , Exercise , Frequent small injections , fasting ... ) None of them is the answer here .
I should have asked this " IS THERE ANY NEW DISCOVERIES FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE MISFORTUNE OF GENETIC LOW SHBG ?"
