UK Male 41 looking for advice

Hi, I had my bloods done a couple of years ago and it came back with high SHBG. At the time I had a young child and getting very little sleep, so I put it down to that.

Fast forward to today and I’m getting much more sleep (although not perfect) and my fatigue hasn’t budged. I’ve also noticed a drop in libido.

Thought I‘d get another test and these are the results:

Total testosterone: 18.7 nmol/L

Free testosterone: 0.231 nmol/L

SHBG: 68.9 nmol/L

Free androgen index: 27.141

Turns out I’m also deficient in Vitamin D and I’ve started to supplement that.

I understand that I’m not in the range for TRT but I feel like my low Free T is probably a major factor in my issues. I’ve seen varying opinions on supplements like boron and tongkat ali.

Would love to know what you lot would do in my position. Have any of you been here and managed to rectify it?
