Can I get my estradiol to come up by taking DHEA and A:Try supplementing Soy and Flax Seed in high quantities as they are estrogen mimics in men and will go to help increase your Estrogen.  Your sex drive and ED issues are most likely a result of you low Estrogen as it is a classic symptom.  Are you taking any meds that could cause that to be so low?  Another way to increase your Estrogen is by taking IM injections of Testosterone as well.  Estrogen follows Testosterone and this could help lower you SHBG as well!Q2. How do I lower my SHBG ?Your SHBG is not too concerning as it finds its own level in men.  Your Free T at 70 pg/ml could be better but its not low in terms of cases we see in here.  As noted above, one Testosterone injection per week would put some downward pressure on your SHBG levels as well as increase Estrogen.  You can also try taking the supplement Stinging Nettle Root as well; there are a number of reports that it will lower SHBG and some men have sworn by it over the years. Also, increase your dietary protein and dairy intake and eat lots of fat What's strange about your blood work is that elevated SHBG is associated with higher levels of Estrogen and you are the opposite of that.</blockquote>
