Title: How to lower SHGB?
Post by: Witchinghour on May 23, 2024, 11:27:49 AM

My SHGB has been increasing and is now at the very very top of the range.

How do I reduce it? I'm concerned it's stopping my HRT working efficiently.

Mine went down from 130 to 99 after I started taking testosterone, was not doing anything else differently though so not sure how much it naturally varies.

This study seems to suggest that high protein diets can lower SHBG https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/85/1/293/2854619
