What Is DHEA? The Hormone That Supports Energy, Mood, and More
If you’re feeling tired, moody, or low on motivation, your DHEA levels might be part of the problem. At Aberdeen Peak Hormonal Health, we help women and men understand and rebalance hormones like DHEA, testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone—especially during perimenopause, menopause, and men with low testosterone.
What Is DHEA?
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a hormone produced naturally by your adrenal glands. It’s a precursor hormone, meaning your body uses it to make other vital hormones like estrogen and testosterone.
DHEA levels peak in your 20s and decline with age, often contributing to:
Fatigue and low energy
Low libido
Mood changes and brain fog
Weight gain
Poor stress response
Why Is DHEA Important?
When DHEA is low, your body may struggle to make enough sex hormones. At Aberdeen Peak Hormonal Health, we often see patients in their 40s and 50s whose symptoms improve dramatically with the right dose of bioidentical DHEA—especially when combined with testosterone, progesterone, or estrogen therapy.
Is DHEA Safe?
Yes—when carefully monitored by a hormone specialist. At Aberdeen Peak Hormonal Health, we use low-dose, customized DHEA therapy and follow your labs and symptoms closely. Most patients tolerate it well, especially when dosed appropriately for their unique hormonal profile.
Is DHEA Right for You?
If you're struggling with fatigue, weight gain, mood changes, or low libido—low DHEA may be part of the cause. We offer personalized hormone replacement therapy and weight loss plans for women and men in Aberdeen, WA and throughout Grays Harbor County.
