Bump, one year later, haha! Surprised this never got any feedback at all. @haidut do you have any thoughts on the irregularities here?

 

[thisoldtown1978]

I'm aware of how to address low Vit D, btw, but I'm curious about the very high SHBG, slightly high estradiol, high prolactin, etc. If there's any specific insight to be gleaned from the interplay between these numbers...

Looks pretty good tbh, maybe cort, e2 and prolactin too high still (prolactin apparently being a great marker to judge systemic estrogen)

how do you feel? any nagging symptoms?

It all looks pretty good, keep in mind the average westerner’s SHBG is TRASHED from all the muscle meat and igf1 + insulin resistance dropping it very low.

you could always eat less fat and some extra sugar since fructose somewhat lowers SHBG.
