DHEA, was Re: Overwhelmed-afraid

Ok, I see what you're saying now.

May I ask, if you were me, would you supplement DHEA? And if so, when/

how much?

Cortisol:

Morning 13 normal (13-24 norm)

Noon 1 depressed (5-10 norm)

Afternoon <1 depressed (3-8 norm)

Midnight 7 elevated (1-4 norm)

Cortisol burden = 22

DHEA = 3

I'm on HC - raising slowly before adding Armour.

hormones. Especially in the case of low cortisol. I would supplement

the hormones that are low not a prohormone, just liek taking Armoru or

T3 in stead of just taking T4 and depending on a conversion for it to

work.
