I went off HRT and replaced it with a supplement regiment that includes Ashwaganda and 50 mg of DHEA. I feel wonderful, actually better than i was with the HRT. The DHEA has helped ALOT with libido and hot flashes, and just slightly with sleep and night sweats. The Ashwaganda makes me feel great and seems to give me energy. Together I feel 20 years younger. Great and informative video.

I’ve been taking 100 mg DHEA Tablets daily for over 10 years without any problems. I started taking at menopause at age 54 and am 64 now. Still sexually active with my husband of 44 years and people think I’m 50. I feel wonderful so far.

I started dhea 5 weeks ago since my Dutch test said I was abnormally low. I take Biosom sublingual 10mg made by Metagenics. My naturopath Dr recommended it. It’s cleared my face from eczema / rosacea which I have been battling for a year and raised libido which has been non existence for 10 yrs. Have not had any hair loss or acne, my face is back to normal such a game changer for me. I feel so much happier. I have been on hrt for two years and still trying to dial in my hormones . Starting small dose of testosterone this week to see if it helps with weight loss. I have been lifting heavy for a year and have seen no body composition change even tho my diet is high protein low carb no sugar.

I took 25mg of dhea for a yr, was great but after a yr libido went away, switched to pregnanolone now with diim and tamoxfen, feel more balanced now.

I've started taking DHEA 25mg from LE while living in the UK in 2012, moved to Canada where you cant' even buy vit D online was a challenge buying it. I find it easy to get from the US buyers on ebay, if you buy1 bottle the customs won't seize it as it's viewed as personal usage and only 5% of packages gets reviewed. I now use a forwarding service who sends my package with the specification I give them. I send them as natural supplements and I also buy Estriol cream from India which is declared as body cream. I never had a problem with customs this way. I buy about one yr to 1.5yr supply at a time via forwarding service now. It's much more costly but hey I'm not going to stop taking whats beneficial for me considering we have terrible health 'services' here. It took my friend 15 yrs to get to a GP! I am on a waiting list since mine moved away, I have to be my own dr!!!

I take 100 mg for the past few months and feel better hormone wise

So happy to see you posted a new video. (I’ve missed you!).

This DHEA video was super informative. Love the scientific data to support your findings and advice! Not enough of this on social media IMO.

I’ve always understood (from many resources) that 15 mg was the most DHEA that a woman should take. Yet your findings suggest otherwise. Have you heard of this 15 mg maximum and where it might have originated? The evidence from the 3 RCTs and your advice sure seems to debunk the 15 mg rule. I now need to switch my thinking on DHEA.

On a side note, I take 10 mg of oral DHEA without any androgenic effects. Yet, when I switched to a 10 mg DHEA mucosal spray, I developed whiteheads and very oily skin. Thought this was an interesting anecdotal experience to mention.

I am so glad I watched this video. My doctor recommended DHEA and I was skeptical.

[dawnschultz]

Would I be able to take DHEA every other day or just several times a week without mood fluctuation/imbalance ? I have the Life Extention 100 mg. I am on HRT estradiol 1.0, progesterone 200 mg daily and take a micro dose ( smallest dose) of testosterone Monday Wed and Fri as that is what works best for my body. I am 55 yrs old and post menopausal . I love your short videos as it works w/my attention span :) Thank you so much.

[hayleysmith]

Great video sir thanks for sharing blessings 🙏🏻 dhea and pregnenolone are a game changer together with progesterone and estradiol

[MLM]

I love it and I take 25 -50 mg per day and I’m 52. I don’t go to doctors and don’t want to start so this has been a wonderful supplement for me…lots of energy, beautiful skin and some weight loss . I’ve never had kids and have never really had health issues. I feel great❤

[ItsJessAHandle]

Thank you for this video! Great work, very im informative and to the point 👏🏼

[susansundaresan]

Can you address taking DHEA if you already have some hair loss…

[Dan-rpil]

Very well presented and insightful. I like to keep my patient DHEA levels greater than 200 in women and 500 in men. Since I combine it testosterone I only give women 15 mg and men 50 mg. You also could have talked about DHEA and weight loss, There are randomized blinded trials which show weight loss in the DHEA group.

Unfortunately can’t get in Australia which is so backward

Started HRT and struggling mostly with depression. Reason why i started HRT. SSRIs didnt work for me. Just added DHEA so anyone who saw benefits for depression please share. Thanks

[suebrookes]

Where do you buy DHEA in the uk please

[chriscahill]

Do you have an episode on Pregnenolone, specifically for men too?

[jennybadl]

When DHEA (Pretty low dose) causes hair loss for female, is it beneficial to add saw palmeto?

[TheMommom]

Will taking dhea help with osteoporosis? If so, what dosage? Are there negative side effects? Thank you!
