S*x Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) is one of the most overlooked markers in hormone testing — yet it affects how much estrogen and testosterone your body actually feels.

When SHBG is low, even “normal” hormone levels can behave like they’re too high.
That can look like:
• Acne and oily skin
• Irregular or late ovulation
• Long, unpredictable cycles
• PMS that feels out of proportion
• Signs of PCOS
• Insulin resistance or low energy

And here’s the part most people never hear:
Low SHBG is often a root-cause clue pointing to insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, liver health, or postpartum/hormonal transitions — not just a “hormone problem.”

When you treat the underlying issue, SHBG improves… and hormones finally start matching how you feel.

✨ Want the full breakdown of what SHBG is, why it matters, and how we restore it?

What if one overlooked protein quietly shaped your hormones, cycles, and metabolic health?

In this week's episode of Cycle Wisdom, Dr. Monica breaks down S*x Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)—what it is, why it matters for both women and men, and how low levels can drive acne, irregular cycles, ovulation issues, insulin resistance, and hormone imbalance. You’ll learn how SHBG affects free testosterone and estrogen, when to test it, and how a restorative approach can improve it by treating root causes like insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, and liver health—helping hormones finally align with how you feel.

When it comes to fertility, alcohol affects women and men differently — and timing matters more than most people realize.

For women, alcohol has the biggest impact after ovulation. Even a few drinks in the luteal phase can lower the chance of conception, and heavier intake makes that drop even steeper. It also raises the risk of very early loss. If you're trying to conceive, keeping intake low and avoiding alcohol after ovulation can make a meaningful difference.

For men, it’s less about the occasional drink and more about consistency. Regular heavy intake or binge drinking can lower s***m count, motility, and testosterone — and one binge episode can affect s***m quality for 2–3 months. Staying under one drink per day and avoiding binges helps protect healthy s***m development.

Alcohol doesn’t have to disappear from your life — but being intentional about timing and dose can support healthier ovulation, a stronger luteal phase, and better s***m parameters.

Cora was in 7th grade when her periods suddenly became a lot—heavy cramps, late-night leaks, embarrassing moments at soccer practice. And the first person she told? Her Mimi. 💛

Mimi remembered her own teen years… thick pads, constant leaking, and being told to “tough it out.” But she realized quickly that Cora needed more than old advice.

So Mimi learned alongside her.

She helped Cora build a small period kit for school.
She talked through what’s normal and what’s not.
She reminded her that asking for help isn’t weakness.
She helped her set up a simple cycle-tracking app.

And within a few months?
Cora felt confident—at school, at practice, and even on heavy days.
And Mimi felt connected, useful, and trusted… without overstepping.

This is what support looks like today.
Not silence. Not “just deal with it.”
But understanding, practical help, and compassion.

If you’re a Grandma, Mimi, Nana, or Grammy wanting to better support a teen in your life, you don’t have to guess.
