[QUOTE="IronKnight, post: 188021, member: 17473"] re "I was never able to get it in normal range even with unhealthy diet full of sugar and low physical activity and with obvious body fattening": How did that experiment look like? i.e. example diet day for that? and what was SHBG before vs. after? How does your regular diet look like now? i.e. example diet now What happens if you do any of the following? What does SHBG look like after 1-2 weeks of these? Option 1) Go full keto Option 2) Go low carb Option 3) Fast every other day (or 3 days a week) Option 4) Do time restricted feeding i.e. eat on a 4-8 hour window every day, fast for the rest of the time If you are like most people, options 1-4 should *increase* your SHBG. What happens if you do any of the following for 1-2 weeks? i.e. SHBG before vs. after Option 1) Eat every 3-4 hours (even if low carb, that will keep you pumping insulin) Option 2) Eat every 3-4 hours + throw some clean carbs (some oats, rice, potatoes or similar depending on your preferences) in some or all meals Options 1 or 2 will *decrease* SHBG for most people. Everybody is different, but you need to do the experiment properly to figure out if this will work for you or not. For example: If you thow carbs but then fast for 16+ hours every day it's no wonder your SHBG remains high, etc. This is a very well documented side effect of fasting in the literature. Fasting, keto, low carb => SHBG goes up in humans. This is one of the reasons some people quit keto. Finally, what does your TRT protocol look like? For example, the spike of 100mg of T x twice a week should help bring down your SHBG. I hope some of these ideas help (you or anybody else with SHBG problems!), these are all well known approaches that work in humans, no mice studies required. My advice: 1) Measure 2) Experiment 3) Measure again Only that way you will find what works for you, everybody is different. As I said, I can bring my SHBG to > 80 or < 30, using ONLY diet and changes in TRT protocol, and my liver parameters are quite healthy, so no need to risk your health in the process. The whole concept that "SHBG is something you cannot change" is simply untrue, there's always something you can do and the effect of multiple interventions is extremely unlikely to be "zero".
