“to improve sleep perhaps perhaps other things as well, some don't. Some will recommend DHEA, others not. So here, I'm just going to focus on the overlap in the Venn diagram, as they say, where everyone says, yep, I recommend that to my patients.”
“That's what we have the most evidence for. And then the fourth thing is vaginal hormones. Now, vaginal hormones are micro doses of estrogen or what we call DHEA vaginally that supports the bladder and the vagina. So it helps with pain with sex, dryness, urinary frequency, urinary urgency, leakage, and it prevents urinary tract infections massively.”
“And so, there's just different, it's all the same stuff, it's just in different formulations. Now, the one different one, this is something called DHEA. Now, DHEA is the precursor hormone to estrogen and testosterone. And remember, I said the vulva, the vagina, the bladder need testosterone too.”
“So, this is a chemical that converts into estrogen and testosterone. And so, DHEA is a supplement you can buy, you know, sort of in the supplement aisle. But if you put it locally in the vagina, this is an FDA approved product, it's called intrarosa. And if you just put this in the vagina, it's meant for every night, but you can do it twice a week.”
“a small, these things are small things that help. Drinking lots of water can help, but vaginal hormones, vaginal estrogen or vaginal DHEA, which we just showed a bunch of, prevent UTIs by more than half. They don't just prevent UTIs. They help with urinary frequency, urgency, leakage, pain with sex.”
“And we make cortisol, we make aldosterone, we make other hormones from pregnenolone. But it's this DHEA. It's this precursor in the body that acts like a construction material. And I don't care how good your contractor is. If you don't deliver materials to the job site, they're not accomplishing anything.”
“Yeah. There's an interesting study, a trim trial from Dr. Greg Fahey. He's doing a study where he's giving a cocktail of growth hormone, metformin, and DHEA. Gave that for 12 months and had the thymic size increase on imaging. The amount of CD4 or CD8 T cells increased and the ratio of which improved.”
“you're having somatopause. That's where your growth hormone production is decreasing. You're having, they call it adrenopause, where your adrenals stop making as much DHEA in the different ratio of cortisol. And then you're having menopause, andropause, and all the other chronic conditions. So that's like your first 50 years of your life. That's what you have to expect.”
“like there are natural things that you could do on the women's side like dhea i'm sure at some point we would have ended up talking about not meaningfully impactful for men's testosterone levels because the majority is driven through intratesticular testosterone”
“a significant chunk of that could be driven through dhea mediated conversion and if that is the case in your low dhea via an assessment of the biomarker dheas typically as a proxy”
“sulfated dhea you may highly benefit from like a basic dhea oral supplement that's like you know uh easier to predict what's going to happen it's like an actual marker you can point to as deficient based on like”
“favorably to an adequate dhea dose when warranted for testosterone conversion like i've seen pretty dramatic changes to the degree of women on combined oral contraceptives attenuating entirely the loss in testosterone production via”
