Hormones & Performance

DHEA

DHEA is an adrenal hormone and precursor to testosterone and estrogen. It plays a big role in energy, mood, libido, immune function, and stress resilience. High DHEA usually signals strong adrenal output and anabolic drive. Low levels can mean chronic stress, burnout, under-recovery, or aging-related hormonal decline. It’s like a battery check for your endocrine system—especially useful if you’re overtraining, cutting, or feeling flat.
