Feeling Right again with DHEA

To maintain optimal health and well-being, humans need adequate levels of dehydroepiandrosterone, known as DHEA. DHEA is the most abundant naturally occurring pro-hormone in the human body. DHEA levels gradually increase from birth to about age 25, when we are in our “reproductive prime” as humans. But after age 25, DHEA levels begin to decrease by about 2% per year.

As an important prohormone, or building block for hormones, DHEA is a precursor to more than 50 other smaller carbon chain molecules, hormones that play a crucial role as drivers of our body functions. Therefore, as levels of DHEA decline people notice they have trouble sleeping, lack energy or focus during the day, gain weight more easily, lose muscle tone, lose sharpness of mind and muscle tone. Low levels of DHEA are associated with “diseases of aging” such as greater risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, depression and insomnia to name but a few.

Cortisol Increases while DHEA Decreases as We Get Older
Cortisol is known as the stress hormone. Cortisol is released in response to stressful situations. It is the “fight or flight” hormone released to protect the body with an inflammatory response. The problem with this inflammatory response, is that over time too much cortisol has many detrimental effects on the body. As mentioned above, we gradually make less and less DHEA after age 25.

On the otherhand, we gradually make more and more cortisol as we get older. Humans are at their healthiest, feel best and are at lowest risk of disease – cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression and cancer, when the DHEA to cortisol is at a ratio of 10:1.

Everything from driving in rush-hour traffic to dealing with an upset friend or co-worker, can cause stress in our lives, and production of more cortisol. Elevated cortisol levels over time can lead to impaired immune response, feeling bloated, lacking energy, weight gain and feeling washed out. Cortisol can also adversely affect cardiovascular health, blood glucose levels, and bone strength.

High cortisol levels can lead to the development of Metabolic Syndrome, which has been shown to lead to obesity, high blood pressure, and increases in cholesterol and triglyceride levels. DHEA counterbalances the negative effects of cortisol.

DHEA and Cortisol
DHEA is the only thing in the body that counterbalances the negative effects of cortisol. There is a great article about “Adrenal Exhaustion” written by Dr. Christiane Northrup, MD. The article describes the common high cortisol with low DHEA life scenario so common in the U.S.A. Given the gradual declines in DHEA and the gradual increases in cortisol that occur as we get older and cope with more and more stress, using Twist 25 DHEA cream daily make sense.
