dhea

I went to a urologist today and he said taking DHEA can cause one to shut down their HPTA just like testosterone can. Do you think he is right? I have heard from others that DHEA has no effect on the HPTA like testosterone does. I hope that is not the case because I have been taking DHEA for...

Hi guys, I wanted to know how you guys have reacted to DHEA supplementation. My DHEA came out really low and the doc at Defy wants me to supplement it. I understand it's supposed to help me to be more relaxed, have better sleep, and possibly have dreams at night which I really don't have now...

I've researching a lot on how to improve physical and mental wellbeing. I've been watching a lot of Dr. Crisler videos where he explains how important it is to keep all of the "pathways" open that are shut down using TRT by using these supplements. Does anybody use DHEA with Progesterone? Has...

MY DHEA has reached a upper limit level and now I just want to supplement one of them. Which one would I benefit most from Pregnenolone or DHEA?

Since starting TRT several years ago my DHEA has been on the lower end, which seems to be common. I’ve tried supplementing over the years with various doses ranging from 25mg down to 10mg. Within an hour of taking any dose, I feel really tired and get a dull headache. Defy advises me that’s it’s...

What do you guys think about this? http://drhui.com/articles-by-dr-hui/articles-by-dr-hui-2/chronic-adrenal-fatigue/ The part about about licorice drops is towards the middle section: "HOW TO TREAT ADRENAL FATIGUE"

So long story short, after my last bloodwork I realised that I probably had adrenal issues that had to be addressed. My cortisol was lowish, progesterone was low and so was DHEAS. I felt tired, irritated and I was considering coming off TRT. I crashed my E2 like 4 times this year, mostly because...

Does DHEA increase libido?

I recently had my initial consultation with Defy. It went really well and I'm very pleased to be working with them. As is usual after any doctor appointment, I always think of questions later. I'm a 32 year old male that is currently trying to conceive with my wife. Over the past several years...

When taking DHEA is it recommended to take an estrogen blocker like DIM? I’m taking 40 mg oh DHEA every night.

I seem to have higher than normal DHEA and Progesterone. What are some things to look into regarding possible cause(s)? Most recent results: https://imgur.com/a/2A6ac Protocol: 15mg Clomid ED (high DHEA and Progesterone predates Clomid usage) 40 y.o., good health

When I was taking DHEA on TRT (compounded cream) my total testosterone was 799 yet off of the DHEA I was at 604. Just wondering if there is a correlation between the two.

Hi - My wife and I are patients with Defy. She had been taking 25mg DHEA ED with good results: increased mental clarity, energy, and mood. Unfortunately it was causing her to lose her hair at an alarming rate. After her most recent consult, it was decided to drop down to 12.5mg ED. However...

My DHEA levels are always at the top end of the normal range. Is this a good indication that my pregnenolone levels are good? I'm curious if there is a positive correlation between DHEA and pregnenolone. Thanks

The researchers found that having higher baseline levels of vitamin D, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and its binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) was associated with a lower risk of worse frailty status four years later. "Vitamin D, besides maintaining bone health, regulates muscle function, and...

I'm 41 and started TRT Novemeber 2016. Currently on Test. Cyp. (IM) and HCG (SQ) every other day and 25 mg DHEA twice daily (From Defy). I have an appointment in July. Just had blood work and have some questions. Here are the highlights. T total = 932 (up from ~200 pre-TRT, feeling...

Just would like to share my experience with HCG increasing T3, T4 and DHEA levels. I have read that HCG structure is similar to TSH hence it can stimulate the thyroid gland to produce hormones. Also that HCG can have an effect on DHEA and pregnenolone. From my experience this is true. Numbers...

Hello everyone. I'm 41 and started TRT with Defy (Thanks Dr. Saya!) 11/7/2016. Here is the protocol: 70 mg Testosterone Cypionate (every 3.5 days) 350 IU HCG (every 3.5 days) 25 mg DHEA (2x day) I have been feeling better with the TRT, especially the last month. Unfortunately, I just spent 4...

Does anyone have confirmed labs of how DHEA and/or Preg affected their e2 levels? How much did DHEA/Preg increase e2 if at all?

Hey everyone. I have more lab results (pre TRT) that were ordered by defy (I haven't had my appointment yet). Does anything jump out as being more complicated than just low-T and needing TRT (I'm apprehensive)? My DHEA looks low. My TSH high-ish (and has been higher). I also tested...

If you have added DHEA, 7-keto DHEA or pregnenolone to your regimen, what has the effect been to (1) your sense of well being and (2) your labs. Thanks !!

When I first started w/Defy medical, they thought my levels were too low, and put me on DHEA among other things. :-) I started with taking 25mg tabs 1x daily. Levels were to low, so it was upped to 25mg 2x a day. On the bottle, and some other sites if I understood it properly, it mentioned...

I went on Arimidex 1 year ago because I was getting like freaky anxious and crazy emotional. It did help but I have been doing a lot of researching and I'm leaning towards Nelson's take on using an AI. I have been off Arimidex now for 3 months now. I did have some water gain after a few weeks...

Hello Everyone, I'm excited to be part of this forum. A little history: I had been using "steroids" in sports for many years. About six years ago I met someone and decided that I wanted to get off of everything, so I tampered off and went clean for a year. No PCT. Of course, I felt like crap...
