DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a pro-hormone produced in the adrenal glands and converted by the body into estrogen, progesterone, cortisone, testosterone, and other sex and steroid hormones. It’s often called the “mother hormone” for this role as a precursor. DHEA levels peak in a patient’s mid-20s and decline steadily with age, making it a common addition to hormone replacement and anti-aging protocols.
Chronically elevated cortisol, often driven by ongoing stress, can contribute to increased appetite, weight gain, insulin resistance, and visceral fat accumulation. DHEA helps counterbalance cortisol’s effects, and maintaining a healthy DHEA-to-cortisol ratio is associated with better metabolic and age-related health outcomes.
Lean Body Mass: A meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials found that DHEA supplementation reduced fat mass and increased lean body mass (Wang et al., 2020).
Abdominal Fat and Insulin Sensitivity: In elderly individuals, DHEA significantly decreased visceral and subcutaneous abdominal fat and improved insulin sensitivity without altering glucose levels (Villareal & Holloszy, 2004).
Cognitive and Psychological Effects: Higher cortisol-to-DHEA ratios in elderly populations are linked to cognitive decline and mood disturbances, while lower ratios are associated with better cognitive function and psychological well-being (Kalmijn et al., 1998).
Metabolic Syndrome: A higher cortisol-to-DHEA ratio is significantly associated with metabolic syndrome and its components (Phillips et al., 2010).
