Hello,

I’m a 27 M and I’m completely natural.

My second time posting, I posted about 5 months ago, just as I was finishing a cut.
The cut wasn’t drastic, I just ate in a slight deficit whilst still training the same.
However, I did a hormone test at the end of the cut and freaked myself out with High SHBG, high prolactin, high TT and low free T.
You can read my previous post.

Since then, I’ve upped my calories and carbs  significantly, doing more cardio for keeping body fat low instead and also weight training LESS. This has also helped my sleep massively. I’ve also purchased a bigger bed for me and my partner which has massively reduced sleep disturbances.

I know this isn’t exactly profound, but I feel so much better now. My sex drive has bounced back, strong boners, having more fun with life and more energy. 

I did an intravenous blood test (rather than a finger prick test) and huzzah, I’ve got high free T, and all my other results are back to normal (except E2 but I’m not really worried about this because my symptoms have all gone, and could be I’m just aromatising a lot of testosterone).

TLDR: if you’re a high SHBG, low free T guy, try just eating more carbs, training less and sleeping more. I have always been an active guy and been in good shape, but I’m definitely susceptible to overdoing it.
