Thank you! Yes I was consuming 1-2 carrot Salads daily. Which I have stopped consuming because the high carotene. I was also taking Estroban daily which has 6000iu of Vit A. I wil be cutting back on that. I will be having mushrooms a few times per week for Estrogen control instead of the carrots.just a few impressions... can't comment on the SHBG. Why is your carotene so high? I am not saying you necessarily have carotenemia, but if so, know that it can interfere with thyroid - see Peat's quotes on carotenemia
Also - some discussion of gynecomastia in the May Ask Your Herb Doctor program - in the interview he mentions estrogen being related to gyno.
I am just wondering if you have had your thyroid measured recently. The reason i ask is, IIUC, Peat indicates that gyno could possibly be an indication of high estrogen, and low thyroid can result in high estrogen. The high carotene and vitamin A can block thyroid.
If you are eating a daily carrot you could try rinsing it to minimize carotene, or try other alternatives for eradicating endotoxin and blocking estrogen reabsorption. I think Peat mentions bamboo shoots or well-cooked mushrooms as alternatives to the daily carrot. i think ac works too but am not positive.
If you are not eating enough, as well as enough sugar, i think taking thyroid or aspirin/niacinamide/caffeine could use up all of your glycogen and cause a surge in adrenaline. It is especially problematic if your liver can't store too much sugar.
I'm finding myself tolerating the coffee much better with more sugar and cream. And I'm usually having it after a meal and drink it slowly. So I think liver is improving. But the problem of high SHBG still remains a mystery
