[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 132791, member: 15043"] I came to that conclusion based off of your symptoms, your lab results, and your age. It makes sense to think that if you could just lower your SHBG, and free up your testosterone, that you’ll be good to go. But, I too had a SHBG of about 54, prior to TRT, and I literally did everything imagineable to try and free it up, with no success. SHBG is unfortunately almost impossible to lower without going on testosterone, or medications. Trust me, I literally tried everything, and spent a decent amount of money doing so, and that was when I was 27-28 years old. I would imagine that it would be even harder for you at 52 years old. To keep this short and to put it bluntly, you’re 52 years old, your free testosterone is at the bottom of the barrel. You can try to raise it naturally, but most likely it’s a losing battle. U might be able to raise it slightly, for brief periods, but this is basically your baseline now. And even if you do raise is slightly for say a month or so, it’s probably not going to be enough to get rid of your symptoms. What’s more likely, is that as time goes by, your levels are just going to continue to drop, unfortunately. Before TRT, I had a SHBG of around 54, and a free T of around 7-9. I felt absolutely horrible. I feel much much better now that my free T level is normal. To me, the answer is simple for you, just get on TRT and feel better. So let me ask you, are you hesitant to try TRT? At 52, and with your numbers/ symptoms, you are literally the perfect candidate for TRT. Are you just checking to see if there is anything you can do on your own naturally to raise your free T and resolve your symptoms? If so, that’s completely understandable. But in my opinion, there just ain’t anything you can really do to resolve your symptoms on your own. I know it sucks, trust me, at 27-28 I tried to do everything imagineable to avoid TRT. But don’t look at that as a negative. Now that I’ve been on TRT for a while, I realize that TRT was one of the best things that ever happened to me.
