Nature Thyroid on TRT, does it increase SHBG?

[Young at heart]

My doctor told me after reviewing my labs, that my thyroid was in the lower range, so he wanted the thyroid at a higher level. The problem is that I have high SHBG around 50 to 55. I did read that Nature Throid will increase my SHBG even more. The article said that Hypothyroidism lowers SHBG, while Hyperthyroidism increase SHBG. Why I will want to increase my thyroid levels if I have problems with SHBG?. Should I change "Doctor" and go to someone that knows about hormones?

Hypothyroidism. One study found that low SHBG was associated with hypothyroidism and could even be reversed by correcting the underlying thyroid issue.

One should never sacrifice a fully functional thyroid, which isn't called the "master gland" for nothing, in order to manipulate SHBG levels. There are plenty of cases where hypothyroidism undermined all of a patient's TRT efforts. SHBG is one of those factors that simply "is" - a good doctor works both with and around it to design an appropriate protocol. Optimal thyroid function is a necessity.
