Circuit equivalent for fitting my data

TL;DR
Impedancy Spectroscopy
I did a few experiments recently of impedance spectroscopy, and I've gathered some data that i'm having some issues to find an equivalent circuit that can fit the data.

The equivalent circuit that I've got, it's pretty similar with the data (graph and circuit below)

But the problem is, at low frequencies, my data values drop, while the fit from the circuit keeps going up.

Z' represents the real part from the impedance, so basically I need to my equivalent circuit to drop the resistance at low frequencies.

What circuit element, or what I could do, so that I could find an equivalent circuit to my data?

  • Two log-log Bode-style plots of impedance spectroscopy data versus frequency from 1 Hz to 1 MHz: top plot shows Z' falling from about 10^4 to a plateau near 2x10^3, bottom plot shows Z'' falling with a dip near 10^5 Hz, with measured and fitted curves overlapping.

Can you think of a component whose reactance (impedance) goes down as the frequency goes down?
