Hormonal Balance
- Testosterone, though important, needs balance with other hormones for optimal male health.
- Consider DHEA, DHT, and estrogen, which all play vital roles.
SHBG's Role
- SHBG regulates hormones, keeping levels stable, particularly testosterone.
- Low SHBG, often caused by insulin resistance, can lead to testosterone fluctuations.
Multiple Testosterone Tests
- Get multiple testosterone readings to diagnose low T accurately.
- Single tests can be inaccurate due to lifestyle factors like sleep and diet.
