Hi guys, I'm 27.

I've made a lost of blood exams. Everything was fine, my total T level was 1050 ng/dl. Only free T was very low and SHBG very high

Total T: 1050 ng/dl
Free T: 25,3 pg/ml range 27,3 - 69,3
SHBG: 80,4 nmol/l range: 13-71

Currently I'm eating a paleo/keto diet high in fat and very low in carbs, just few vegetables. Sometime I do also a "random IF", just depeds if I'm hungry or not: I can skip both breakfast and lunch, or other times I can skip dinner, when I'm hungry I eat all meals. I play MMA and CF. I don't have any problems during workouts have a lot of energy, stamina and strength also if I'm fasting from 24 hours. I'm 185 cm, currently my weight is about 85 kg with 15% approx. body fat.

I've read on Google that Keto diet may (but nobody is 100% sure) decrease free T and that eating carbs SHBG decrease.

I feel myself really good with this diet, can be a problem having a low free T? Maybe is better making other checks in order to see if was low only that time or if it is always low?

I've read also on google that free T blood check is almost inaccurate because it can float very fast, what about so high SHBG?

There's over 9000 threads on this topic in the forum. Use search button. I'm pretty certain one of them is in the first page of this sub-forum.

I already tried to look for but didn’t find anything related to my questions, may you please link me some threads?
Thanks

If you feel good I wouldn't worry about it.

If you still want to worry about, look up boron and free T. Some research has shown it increasing free T and lowering SHBG in hypogonadic men.

Your age 27, why do you care about this stuff.

I am almost double your age, my dick still gets hard naturally and that is all I care about.

Do you have problems with your dick?

I think part of it is this forum puts a ton of emphasis on testosterone, injections, supplements, etc. There should be a lot more focus on herbal medicine IMO. A lot more natural things.

No problems with my dick, it works well.

As I wrote have a lot of strength stamina and aggression in playing MMA. I can also build muscles easily also without weights just with playing MMA. My only concern was about the keto diet may cause some issues with free T...

As for injections i’ve never thought to use them.

I’m sure that men who play sport and with a healthy life style have usually an higher T. I don’t think T would make a so big difference with the dick.... the big difference is about personality, and that then would affect all fields of life.

I agree with you but before using natural supplements the first thing -in case- to modify is the lifestyle, but it may cost a lot of effort for many so... T injections is the easiest way.. I have a friend who is like that... no sport, junk food, big as a whale, then he complains about T and gets injections beacuse he said he hasn’t enough time to play sport or eat healthy. He is 35... not so older than me

Sounds like a great opportunity to see if TPTB would make a "herbal medicine and supplements" subforum. Can't hurt to try.

This is something I would absolutely contribute towards. I have a wealth of knowledge in this area. Self-treatment for all kinds of ailments, changing other's blood test results and overall health. All while removing side-effects and letting the body heal itself through herbal plants.
