  • Ep 303: DHEA The Forgotten Hormone That Could Be Holding You Back in Perimenopause
    Apr 21 2025

    If you’re doing all the “right things” but still feel exhausted, flatlined, and like your body just isn’t bouncing back the way it used to, it might be time to talk about the hormone no one is talking about—DHEA.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down the truth about this powerful adrenal hormone that becomes critical in perimenopause. You’ll learn:

    ✨ What DHEA actually is and why it matters more after 35
    ✨ How DHEA supports your sex hormones, energy, metabolism, and resilience
    ✨ The difference between high and low DHEA symptoms (and why many women are walking around depleted)
    ✨ Lifestyle shifts that actually help improve your DHEA naturally (without guessing or over-supplementing)
    ✨ The best way to test your levels and how to know if you’re low

    If you're feeling stuck, tired, or disconnected from your body—don’t miss this one. It could be the missing link to your hormone healing and performance in midlife and beyond.
