[QUOTE="Dudley, post: 196578, member: 17180"] Hi folks, I am a newbie, not on TRT, have never taken T or steroids, am 66 years old and have been working out since a teenager. Just got blood tests done at Quest (thanks, Nelson, Discount Labs worked great) and got back: T total 984 Free T 59.1 Bioavailable T 111.2 SHBG 89 Estradiol (ultrasensitive test) 24 So as you can see, my total T and SHBG are above the top of the normal range; and my free T and bioavailable are at the very bottom of the normal range; and my estradiol is below the normal range. I would appreciate help interpreting what this means. I love working out and am doing solidly-ok for my age, but recovery is much less good than it used to be, and I am slowly adding body fat. Being in great shape (much less adding a little lean mass) has gotten a lot harder in the last couple of years. Sex drive and everything connected to that is a lot reduced over the last couple of years. Is there a way for me to lower my SHBG so that my Free T would be higher? Open to advice. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
