[Arcane]

Any suggestions on how to get my Free T up? I workout regularly eat well and take ashwaghanda. not oin TRT currently

I would be more worried about your low E2. You can bring both your free T and E2 up to healthy levels with TRT.

My E2 is low?

My E2 is low?

Yes -- especially considering the high SHBG, your free E2 must be rock bottom.

My Estradiol is in reference range at 12 pg/mL

That's a deficiency for an adult male, maybe not for a child.

You're failing to interpret the ranges correctly, normal for an adult male and a child are not the same, yet the ranges are the same.

A healthy normal range for an adult male is 20> pg/mL. Remember normal and healthy normal are not the same thing.

This is nothing more than wishful thinking. A failure or unwillingness to accept reality.

I was recently suggested Boron, approximately 5 mg., daily to increase Free T by my clinic. I haven’t done any bloodwork as yet. It also has a positive benefit on joint pain, which I am noticing.

THIS! OP, go on YT and listen to interviews or lectures by Dr. Neil Rouzier, one of the top docs in hormone optimization. He cites the research, too.

Try Tongkat Ali and see if that helps.
Be careful with Ashwaghanda as that messed me up mentally after about a month.

how did Ashwaghanda mess you up?

After a few weeks or so severe depression.
I have been trying a variety of supplements taking one for month or two in order to know what works and what doesn't along with making notes.
It just messed me up mentally.
