DHEA and Cortisol

DHEA is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It is called the “Mother Hormone” because it can be converted to other vital hormones, such as estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, etc.* Levels of DHEA drop off dramatically after age 30, and scientists feel this may be one of the reasons for aging.* DHEA is involved in a variety of health areas and it is recommended that testing for DHEA levels be performed before it is administered.* Our DHEA is in a 98.5% pure form.

DHEA and Weight loss

How Are DHEA and Weight Loss Linked? DHEA is known to block an enzyme named glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, which is essential for fat synthesis. DHEA can also inactivate some enzymes related to fat synthesis. Over time, this means that more fat is burned than produced.

What Is Adrenal Fatigue?

Adrenal fatigue (hypoadrenia) is a condition of the adrenal glands when they are unable to produce the amount of cortisol and DHEA that our bodies need to function during the day. Cortisol and DHEA controls the metabolic rate of all of our cells. Adrenal fatigue, also referred to as hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction, indicates the brain is not sending or receiving signals from the adrenal glands. Many factors can disrupt the signaling between the brain and the adrenal glands, but the most common is prolonged stress and inflammation. Other factors include too many toxins in the body, lifestyle issues such as lack of sleep, gut infections or dysbiosis, and/or too much sugar, alcohol, and caffeine.

Why are Healthy DHEA Levels Important for Women?

Low levels of DHEA in women can cause symptoms including:

  • Adrenal fatigue – This condition happens when the adrenal glands have to produce so much cortisol that they can’t create enough DHEA. This is often exacerbated by high stress, because increased cortisol is needed to promote feelings of calm. The fatigue lends to an overall sense of feeling overwhelmed and can even cultivate depressive symptoms. Overall cognitive function also suffers as a result.
  • Weight gain – One of the most common signs of adrenal fatigue. This symptom is also made worse by high levels of stress due to the adrenal glands having to spend more energy to produce cortisol. The abdominal region is the area of the body that is most affected.
  • Depression – A serious condition that can result from adrenal fatigue. A number of studies have shown balanced DHEA levels in women to have the ability to improve mood.
  • Aching joints – DHEA levels have been found to be low in people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, especially in post-menopausal women.
  • Low libido – Since DHEA is a precursor to all of the sex hormones, low DHEA levels in women result in drastic ramifications for their sex drive.
  • Decreased bone density – This leads to aching joints and can also contribute to more serious conditions like osteoporosis.
