Mine is 122. Fantastic video. We have to learn for ourselves because even functional drs don’t cover all these issues. I’m only third

My SHBG has been going higher and higher since I started HRT. Started at 105 and I’m now at 150. Started testosterone four months ago and it went from 125 to 150. I have symptoms of both low estrogen and low T now, even though I’m on a .075 patch. I’m normal BMI, active (running and weights), high protein intake. I don’t eat many carbs because it bloats me and screws up my gut. Zero alcohol usage. Thyroid normal. I take all the usual supplement recs and added 10mg boron two weeks ago. At a loss as to what to do now, my doctors keep testing SHBG but don’t seem to know what to do. Super frustrating!

[@aurielcastro9903]

Low carb, excessive exercise, stress and lack of sleep raise shbg. Do some research on boron and nettle leaf. Best of luck.

Great video. Thank you! Any thoughts on high dose melatonin and how that effects SHBG?

[@cozinha8945]

Thank you for this information! Can you provide an optimal SHBG range?

[@aurielcastro9903]

Men The normal range for men is 10-57 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L). SHBG levels usually increase with age as testosterone levels decrease. Women The normal range for nonpregnant women is 18-144 nmol/L. SHBG levels are typically higher in women than in men. Pregnancy usually raises SHBG levels, which typically return to normal after childbirth.

@aurielcastro9903 thank you!

[@tonygreen4404]

@@cozinha8945 As a guide I find 22 to 25 nmol/L to be optimal for optimising the free hormone levels in your body. If SHBG is high and the goal is to lower it to raise free hormone levels in the body I use 200mg tongkat ali daily for women and 400mg daily for men. Once SHBG levels are sitting where I want them I change to Tongkat Ali 5 days weekly thereafter.

Does SHBG also bind T4 or T3 thyroid hormones? A complex topic, thank you.

In a real city, especially in one that has "millions of offices", there are predominantly taxis, not ubers. This definitely changes the testosterone situation.

Can I take estradiol at night? Alone with promethium?
