Today we’re talking about DHEA supplements. This is a popular supplement because DHEA can influence your hormones.
Many people believe if you can enhance your hormones, you can look better, perform better, feel better, and more. That’s true because healthy living can help optimize your hormones, which has beneficial downstream effects.
You can also affect your hormonal profile through medications, synthetic hormones, and supplements, but most of the stuff that actually works is only available through a prescription.
As far as supplements go, most “testosterone boosters” are junk. However, DHEA can raise your testosterone in certain conditions, which is what I’m going to talk about in this podcast.

WOMEN 43 PERIMENOPAUSAL WITH A TESTOSTERONE LEVEL 10 ESTROGEN 92 CAN I TAKE DHEA TO RAISED A BIT MY TESTOST AND HELP WITHLIBIDO AND ENERGY? AT LEAST 5MG DAILY? THANKS
I was an avid weight lifter in my 20s back in the 1990s. I came across some dhea research regarding weight loss, and decided to give it a try. The dosages in the study were very high. 1-3 grams. I went on 1 gram. It transformed my body in a month. The fat melted off. I was unable to duplicate it several years later. my original source no longer sold in low quantities for individual use, so i had to go with common found stuff found at stores - so i figured i was no longer getting what i was paying for.
I had almost zero sex drive and Tribulus, Long-jack, and Macca all fixed the problem. I don’t know if they have any affect on my testosterone. I tried DHEA in my 30’s and it caused pretty sever testicular pain and was told my the doctor to stop taking it. I may give it a try now that I’m older and see what happens. My urologist said that if I go on the shots it’s likely I we need them for the rest of my life so I agree waiting as long as possible is ideal.
Maca can definitely help with libido! Check this out: legionathletics.com/maca-benefits/
If I take dhea say for a year (150mg) and stop taking it, will my body stop producing DHEA?
No, no side effects like that.
Just curious if there has been any research on DHEA's affect on the prostate? I know some supplements do affect the prostate for good or for ill.
When is the video going to start?
Whats the best time to take DHEA? with or with out food? 55 year old male...Thanks
With food to avoid stomach upset (but not necessary if you can tolerate it on an empty stomach).
May I ask why the 7 keto does not have the same effect?
I'm not familiar with 7 keto. Elaborate?
I was on TRT and had to come off because I developed 'thick blood' so bad. I was never warned about the potential complications and when I began experiencing symptoms of polycythemia (dizziness, high blood pressure, difficulty breathing) I had no idea what was going on and it was kind of terrifying. So I'm still searching for ways to get my testosterone back up.
Look up HCG and Clomid. It's the best way to increase your body's natural testosterone levels. It's what bodybuilders take when they come off steroids.
@@AnubisDogman Thanks. I've tried both actually. HCG really messed me up, so I can't try that again. I briefly tried Clomid, but had to stop it because of other side effects. But I may give it a try again.
You could take a low dose. When I was on, I was a hyper responder to test too. 200mg a week prescribed is often way too high for a lot of people
Thank you Mike- I’m 64 and this DHEA podcast was very helpful.
Question- I’m 6 foot 4 and 270 lbs (working on getting down to 250)-
Should I take 150 mg per day because I’m larger or does it not matter?
Thanks Mike! No, that doesn't matter.

DHEA works !!!!!!
Bro i take 100 mg per day of DHEA but i don't SEE a great diference i see more benefits with ashwagandha
I'm on 50mg DHEA per day and mood is perfect, losing fat on ma y areas and all in all for now it's great. It's called to be a hormone balancer. My supply is for 120 days so will see after I finish the bottle I might stop and see how I feel. Little pause and then can continue again.
Glad to hear that you're doing well!
Great info
Tku Danny!
You mention it being difffrrent than 7-keto DHEA?, May you elaborate on its fat loss marketing touted? Safe as a non stim for women asking🙏🏽
Hey Maya, DHEA could help you lose fat if you're 60+ but it's not really a fat loss supplement in general. Yes, 7-keto DHEA is a different supplement altogether, and although research is promising, it's too early to recommend. Check this out: legionathletics.com/dhea-supplement/
Excellent!
I'm 36, is it safe for me to take Dhea? My testosterone is a little under 300
What are your thoughts on enclomiphene and pregnenalone?
In regards to what?
Thank you. How do you analyze the exact amount of active ingredient on your website. There is so much variation of dhea. 🙏🏽
Third-party lab testing.
I take DHEA and it builds muscle but made me hairy af!
@what dose?
@@Jdac333 200 mg
No it doesn’t. Doctor and I test it out. I took 50 mg of DHEA for two months and my Dr,. drew blood to have it tested. Previous blood test shown that I was a little low. Also my testosterone was at 249. After retesting my DHEA and testosterone., my testosterone came back at 260 my DHEA was off the chart
As with any natural supplement, some people will respond and others won't. The weight of the evidence is it can help middle-aged people improve their hormone profile.
That's very low test..I'm in the 909 range...naturally
@@richardlawson6787 wished I was. My testosterone last month was 362
Last 12 years my test range 249-380 and that’s eating right and working out. I’m 5’6”@ 159lbs and my age 53
Been taking it for 4 months and didn't really notice the effects til after 3 months on 100mg. I take it with a estrogen blocking and wow I've noticed a dramatic difference in energy and mood. Especially in the morning. No matter what time I go to sleep I wake up at 8am feeling fully rested and ready to tackle the day. I'm 31 and never remember feeling this good.
Great episode, I took Dhea for a week and it had insane effect on me.only 40mg per day However it shrunk my testicles, so I stopped taking it. It’s also illegal in the UK.
youre only supposed to take it if you are very low in testosterone and and if you are youre only supposed to take 15-20 mg, you had way too much testosterone sounds like.
Im 43 been taking 50 mg for 2 days feeling like it is lowering my testoterone levels afraid of taking it any longer now been reading it can shut down your testoterone production?
No, it can't, but if you don't like it, you can stop taking it.
I'm 31 and been taking it for bout 4 months. Give it around 3 months and you'll notice a crazy difference atleast for me I did. DHEA is probably the best I've taking for mood and energy.
@@matthewhayes4054 Thanks im.feeling better taking it too.already but unsure if would.be better taking 100MG THEN 50 PER DAY MAYBE SPLIT UP.IN 2 DOSES?
@@lifeisforlivinghereandnow877 yea I take the 100mg every other day now after four months. At first I was taking entirely too much, 500mg a day. I dropped it down to 100mg a day and now 100mg every other day and i feel amazing off of it.
Does it cause mood swings and is it worth taking if I am also on testosterone?
It doesn't affect mood and probably isn't worth taking if you're on test.
@@MikeMatthewsFitness really it doesnt affect mood. it doesnt have anxiety or depression benefits ?
I take 10mgs of Boron!
Hi Mike I'm 19 can I use 25mg per day?does it have side effects?
No reason to take at a young age.
@@MikeMatthewsFitness hello, great information. How about at age 47 male?
Thanks
Is DIM diindolylmethane needed when taking dhea?
Nope. :)
Yes
There are studies showing that DHEA can be helpful to women on hormonal birth control which crushes testosterone levels by 30-60%. I’m 23 and on hormonal birth control, would it be okay for me to take 100mg do you think?
100 mgs is too high. Before menopause dhea tends to convert into estrogen. To optimize testosterone levels, take in more good cholesterol into your diet. Cholesterol converts into testosterone naturally.
Edit: if you want to try dhea to bring your dhea levels up, start with 2.5 mgs micronized. I would ask your physician to blood work on dhea level first. Please be careful when supplementing with your body.
Can a woman at 39 take it? My sister is on perimenopause 😅
Yes
Meeting you Dr igho on UA-cam is like meeting GOD himsolf because, what you did in my life is what no other doctor can do. Thank you for #drigho fo helping me boost my testosterone naturally, you are a life
Saver may God bless you!
this guy is so dull
He accidentally said that the clinical dose is 500 to 200 mg. Then he said 50 to 200 mg. I just want everyone to know that it was a mistake when he said 500. He meant 50 to 200. Do not take 500 mg of DHEA!
Otherwise very excellent and informative podcast!
Gah thank you for the correction.
Yeah I tapped rewind a couple times and then figured he meant that
