[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 181585, member: 15832"] The majority of the time when Total T result is very high, lower Free T value the SHBG is the culprit. The high SHBG can be because of genetics, environmental and starvation. Altering or controlling SHBG is no easy task and in most cases is futile. Typically as men age SHBG increases, genetics and lifestyle factors determined by how much, also as we age the testosterone and the ratios of the bound and unbound change which isn't in our favor. The Total T is bound to SHBG so it's unusable, it's inert so it doesn't matter if it's 2000, if the Free T is low, then you will be symptomatic. There is no way a mainstream docs would even consider prescribing TRT at these numbers. I suggest retesting using the Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration testing methods before making any decisions. [/QUOTE]
