Episode 526: Ep 526 How DHEA Helps Counterbalance Cortisol.

Forever Young Radio Show / Podcast

As we get older, we gradually make less and less DHEA after age 25. Interestingly, as we get older we gradually make more and more DHEA. So as we get older we make more and more cortisol; and less and less DHEA. DHEA is what helps counterbalances cortisol in the body.

Ideally, cortisol is only released into the system occasionally, as a protective response, rather than on a chronic basis. But in today's busy world, most people deal with ongoing stresses every day, for years at a time. If cortisol levels are too high for too long, they may have undesirable side effects including feeling tired, bloated… loss of bone density, muscle wasting, thinning of skin, fluid retention, weight gain, increased vulnerability to bacteria, viruses, and cancer.

When cortisol is up, your DHEA levels are down….and vice versa The two hormones have an inverse relationship in the body. DHEA counterbalances the harmful inflammatory effects of cortisol. The ideal ratio of DHEA to cortisol is 10 to 1. But for most people over 45, they have far too much cortisol and not enough DHEA.

Do you lack energy, feel washed out and or tired? Or maybe you have been experiencing age related challenges? There is a large chance diminishing levels of DHEA may be the cause.
