DHEA - Optimal Hormone Solutions

What is DHEA?

DHEA, short for dehydroepiandrosterone, is an important hormone that is produced naturally by the adrenal glands and serves several key functions in the body.

Some key facts about DHEA:

• It's considered a "precursor" hormone, meaning it acts as a building block for other key hormones like testosterone and estrogen.
• Levels of DHEA peak when we are in our mid-20s and decline with age. By age 75-80, our DHEA levels are only about 10-20% of what they were at their peak.
• Taking DHEA supplements may boost declining levels, which may provide anti-aging benefits related to metabolism, cognition, sexual health, bone density, muscle mass retention, and more.
• DHEA supplements should only be taken under medical supervision due to the powerful hormonal effects DHEA can have on the body.

As we age and DHEA levels decline, some doctors now believe restoring levels to what's normal in youth and young adulthood can help patients regain more youthful functioning in areas like:

• Cognitive function and memory
• Bone density
• Muscle mass retention
• Sexual health and libido

At Optimal Hormone Solutions, we specialize in precision hormone balancing programs to help both men and women regain more youthful DHEA levels.

Our programs involve:

• Initial blood panel to check current DHEA and other hormone levels
• Custom compounded DHEA cream or capsules
• Follow up testing and monitoring to optimize dosing
• Lifestyle advice to support healthy hormone levels

We take a holistic approach focused on DHEA optimization, nutrition, supplements, and fitness to help patients look, feel, and function at their best.

In summary, DHEA is a crucial precursor hormone that declines as we get older. Restoring levels through supplementation and lifestyle may offer anti-aging benefits related to cognitive function, sexual health, bone density, muscle retention, and metabolism.

Medical supervision is strongly advised when taking DHEA due to its powerful effects on the endocrine system. We offer customized DHEA therapy and optimization programs focused on safety and results.
