What is DHEA?
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands, serving as a precursor to both androgens (like testosterone) and estrogens. It plays a pivotal role in stress response, immune function, and overall hormonal balance.
Natural Decline
& Clinical Impact
Peak & Decline: Levels peak around age 20, then decrease 2–3% per year—resulting in an 80% drop by age 70.
Symptoms of Low DHEA:
- Chronic fatigue
- Brain fog
- Decreased muscle mass
- Weakened immunity
- Mood disturbances
- Slower recovery from stress or illness
Hormonal Conversion: Once administered, DHEA is converted in peripheral tissues into downstream sex steroids, helping restore balanced levels of estrogen and testosterone.
Cellular Signaling: Modulates NMDA and GABA receptor systems, supporting neuronal health and stress resilience.
Why Tyde’s Protocols
Are Different
- Precision Dosing: Clinicians customize doses (10–50 mg/day) based on your DHEA-S, cortisol rhythm, and hormone ratios—no one-size-fits-all.
- Dynamic Monitoring: Retest DHEA-S and metabolic panels every 8 weeks, adjusting doses in real time to prevent overcorrection.
- Holistic Integration: Combines DHEA therapy with guided lifestyle coaching—sleep hygiene, stress management, and targeted nutrition—to optimize adrenal function.

Study B (Menopause Journal, 2021): DHEA supplementation at 30 mg/day improved mood scale ratings by 18% and reduced cortisol-related anxiety symptoms.
Study C (International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020): In vitro and small clinical trials showed DHEA’s neuroprotective effects via modulation of GABA and NMDA receptor pathways, supporting cognitive resilience.
Typical Starting Dose
10–25 mg daily, titrated based on lab results.
Target Lab Panel
DHEA-S, cortisol AM/PM, estradiol, testosterone, comprehensive metabolic panel.
Monitoring Frequency
Baseline labs at Week 0, follow-up at Week 8, then every 12 weeks once stable.
