DefyMedical intro labs, high DHEA

[PushrodV8]

So I just started the process with defy, and got my labs back.
Some results are still trickling in, but my DHEA-Sulfate was "flagged high" on the lab.



Could someone explain DHEA to me? I was looking forward to setting up my consultation but now im worried this high dhea is going to bring things to a screeching halt?

Thanks for your time

Its really of no consequence as far as I'm concerned. DHEA is overhyped, over used, and over "prescribed"

I wasn't sure how much it mattered, I am getting ready to setup a consult + pay for it. I tried to do some googling but man you can go down a web md rabbit hole if you're not careful..

adrenal tumors galore per webmd lol

 

[Vince]

If you're naturally high dhea, I consider it a very good thing can be a sign of healthy adrenals. Your definitely a candidate for TRT with your labs.​

 

[PushrodV8]

Thanks Vince, I am trying to do my own research and I am learning as I go. I saw the "high" on the results and figured I better ask.

 

[Vince Carter]

Well there's nothing you can do about it being High, so....shrug. Like Vince says could be a sign of healthy adrenals which could be good for you. What I would suggest is that over the next few sets of labs you keep pulling DHEA-S and see if maybe this was a fluke.

Thanks Vince Carter, my main concern too was it being high, Defy couldn't do anything for me.

I chalk it up to ignorance of the subject matter on my part.

All of us were "ignorant" at one time in regard to this subject matter. You're doing the right thing by becoming your own advocate.

Elevated DHEA-S levels will not prevent us from moving forward.
