What were your DHEA levels before you started supplementation, and how much are you supplementing with now? My DHEA is a little low (200s) , and I have thought about adding it to my TRT regimen.
Also, I forget. How does DHEA affect Cortisol levels? Does it raise or lower it?
I made the decision to add this to my protocol because I already know that my cortisol levels are jacked,because I have all the telltale signs of adrenal fatigue, which is something I'm all too familiar with.. DHEA helps restore balance and regulation with cortisol levels.
When I first incorporate DHEA I do not consume any coffee or stimulants throughout the day especially in the morning. I take the DHEA before bed, so it has ample opportunity to get into my system so by the time I have my first cortisol spike in the morning I'm not having a complete dump.

I've also been incorporating a lot more of fermented green SuperFood powder, I added that to my already existing pre and probiotic and take..
Having a healthy gut and gi makes a world of a difference, and we could actually start processing food and metabolizing at the way we should without certain enzymes being knocked out of the equation.
Balance balance balance and moderation..
