well I am not sure about hormone levels anymore, once I read somewhere higher total T and lower free T was good for hair. And then as you age your DHT also decreases with T. so lower T sometimes mean lower DHT. confused.
also there is an opinion that after you block DHT conversion body increases T levels at first but after a while as the increased T levels are not converted as they should, body down regulates T production so it is also possible to have low T on DHT blockers. I think this works very differently for everyone.
for my case, my last blood work showed high total T and lower free T. I don't know hot to interpret.
