I am very similar to this, total T ~500, free T ~30, E2, ~50, low SHBG, good igf1I thrive at 470-550 and have low SHBG. These Total T levels produce Free T in the 20-25 pg/mL ranges.
My E2 runs 50+ at these levels and I feel fine.
feel good.

What’s your protocol look like ?I am very similar to this, total T ~500, free T ~30, E2, ~50, low SHBG, good igf1

Just lower your T dosage.Hello there i am new here .My TT is 1000-Estradiol 58-High FT and Low Shbg.
Should i lower T dose or should take some arimidex?
.25ml T x 2 weekly. Thanks
I would try to work that down to 8mg. Also systemlord has had great success with jatenzoAs a guy with low SHBG, I'm tracking you guys to see what I should do next. All I know is I think I might be exhibiting issues of too much DHT and/or estrogen sensitivity (slight balding, hair thinning, lots of back acne, and some water retention 8 months into this), so I wonder if my "daily injection because of low SHBG" protocol makes that better or worse. I'm injecting 16mg a day right now, and the acne seems to have no intentions of slowing down.
I forgot to ask how much should i lower it?Just lower your T dosage.
Normally if you're not too far off the mark, I would say subtract 10-20mg, but in your case reduce 30mg off your total weekly dosage.I forgot to ask how much should i lower it?
There must be some confounding factors in your observations. Free testosterone is generally going to be linear with dose. More details here. With unchanging SHBG total testosterone should also appear to be fairly linear in dose. My own data, for example:...
The one thing I noticed about TRT dosing, is it's not linear and you don't subtract 50% of your dosage and end up with half the levels. There is a threshold where levels start climbing exponentially.

DNP is king of improving insulin sensitivity, yet it does so little to bring up SHBGBasically by increasing insulin sensitivity. Keto and carnivore diets are both notorious for raising SHBG
Taking Thyroid meds raises SHBG and improves lipids.How does one increase shbg?
Oh ok, I'm already on thyroid meds.Taking Thyroid meds raises SHBG and improves lipids.
