I was taking DHEA along with Bio identical estrogen, progesterone testosterone. On my last lab results my DHEA rose pretty high for me. I like to keep it at 100 and it rose to over 300. My testosterone levels were good so stopped taking the DHEA. Big mistake. I just had new labs drawn and both my estrogen and testosterone plummeted. I will be taking the DHEA again. 10 mg works for me.
Dr. Berg, you have helped me on so many levels. I contacted Covid in January of this year, the 15th to be exact. After two weeks I was worse. My primary care physician refused any treatment or help for me, And would not give any medication to help aid the situation. I was symptomatic with many different and unusual symptoms and it was scary. It’s August 14th and I am still coughing. Most of the other symptoms have stopped thankfully. I believe that this is because I started following your advice, about everything! I take supplements that you recommend, and I have changed my eating habits. I sleep at night now. I only eat nutritionally dense foods, with intermittent fasting. You have brought my life back. I am eternally thankful. Gisele.
My menopause has been a nightmare, mostly the exhaustion and pain. I started DHEA recently and so far it’s incredibly helpful. I’m taking a low amount at 25 mg.
Dude, you are truly one of the best doctors I've ever known! Every search I've done, you have the best and most understandable video's. Hands down! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!
When I was menopausal 25 years ago, I tried DHEA, sadly it was increasing my estrogen too much and felt like I was on the pill, sore breasts, etc.I stopped.. perhaps it's different now. What helped me was the progesterone gel and bio identical progesterone. Very happy on those, did for years.
I take 5mg 2x/day in addition to progesterone cream and it has greatly helped me. No more hot flashes, irritability (only with certain people and subjects LOL), or imbalances that I couldn't stand. I sleep better and am not as easily stressed even when under a lot of pressure. I watch 1-2 of your videos daily, have forwarded them to many of my friends, and they all only had great results with it. Thank you for all you do!
@@theresebouchie1248 Yes and yes. I take Karuna Progesterone PLUS cream. It seems a bit expensive but has lasted me about 3 months as I only need a little each night. I leave off the weekends as I could not go off it for a week once a month. I think someone here mentioned this and I have also found this to be the best solution for me.
I just take the Estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. I'm 60 and have never had a hot flash, sleep like a baby and have never had the depression I hear other ladies complaining about, but the big one is my skin looks as good as when I was 30 years younger.
Post chemo it is typical to have painful dry vaginal issues so I purchased suppositories with Dhea. I didn’t use them every day but the morning before or night before for about 6 months. Made a big difference. Use them on and off now, if I “feel” like I need them.
I used Carlson Key-E suppositories and rolled them in the Dhea powder from the Life Extension Dhea capsules. I wanted as few chemicals as possible as I am sensitive. The lubrication from the suppository was just as beneficial as the Dhea, I believe. Given the sensitivity of those tissues, I wanted to err on the side of less is more with the Dhea. I do have to use a glycerin based lubricant each time but that wasn’t even helping prior to using the Dhea and suppository so I know it made a difference. It took about 3 -4 months
I had a hysterectomy at 32 and on homemore patches . 2 years ago I was 265 and for unknown reason I dropped to 110 pounds . I have severe Mast Cell Activation Disorder and Dysautonomia Gastroparesis and now I am gaining weight when nothing changed. I had severe protein malnourishment . Any help be appreciated Starr Andrews Strong HGactivist
@@StarrAndrewsStrongHGactivist Dr Berg made videos on hysterectomy and on a few other subjects connected to what you mentioned here. You can also have intracellular tests or at least use a nutrients app to guide your nutrients intake.
Funny how he made a video on menopaus. Because Ive been thinking a lot about it lately. Im too young. But I was thinking about how we never talk about Menopaus and how many women suffer with it. And often in silence. I remember when my mom was in her 50s and had panic attacks in the nights. But she never talked about it..
I know I was experiencing adrenal insufficiency because I was always fatigued. I started taking 10mg of DHEA and I feel much better. My anxiety has also decrease.
Thank you! I am doing great with your help. I turn 60 in January and I run circles around my kids in their 30s. I am helping as many people that I can!!
Hope you will make a video for men and DHEA. I am male, have been hypothyroid since I was a pre-schooler, and like many hypothyroid men, have suffered from Delayed Ejaculation my whole life. A few months ago I discovered that taking DHEA cured my DE (I am also taking bromelain, which may have helped, but it seems to be the DHEA mainly). Testosterone therapy did not help but DHEA did. Wish I had found it 40 years ago. I could have had a normal life.
You should research fluoride, that's what causes hypothyroid. Always look for the root cause. Fluoride is hidden in a lot of stuff and is also the cause of cystic acne.
Funny your touching on this I just start taking this based on my research and I been adding plain uncooked olive oil to my food bc I know the oils make cholesterol and cholestero mk hormones ( estrogens and testosterone) very interesting topic
Dr. Berg I benefit from every single video I watched of yours you are my single most watched person on RUclips and I just am thrilled to have found you thank you I can't say enough🥰🥰🥰
I have been taking DHEA for several years. I still struggling with trying to get some hormone balance. I started taking DIM and using the wild yam cream that you mentioned in previous videos. Also started intermittent fasting and cut out as much sugar as possible. Praying this works.
Thank you for this video Dr. Berg!!! I've been watching your videos for years and now this subject have become my personal issues. As always, continuing to be in the best health because of you. Grateful as always.
This is super good timing. About 10 years ago I would go several months without a period and then I would gush for an entire month. It led to me being anemic and just no energy so my gynecologist put me on norethindrone. The doc said I had too much estrogen in my body. It worked wonderfully though I hate taking medication. 🤪 I've been taking it for a very long time close to 10 years if not more and my periods have dwindled down to about two days long. Due to C19 , new rules and scheduling conflicts I've been off it for a month. My period's completely stopped!! I'm freaking giddy!! I am in my crone phase FINALLY!! I think the medicine was prolonging my periods. So I think I might get me some DHEA which I had taken in the past and had really good results with it but there for a little bit it was hard to find. 🤷 thanks for the info!! I'm getting ready order some!! I'm pretty sure the estrogen has lessened down in my body by now.
I started fasting a long time ago I am fully satisfied, but now it's time for the muscles and here I don't know very much what to do so as not to go back to the starting point. Fasting is a good thing!
If you are losing muscle mass, take amino acids. I have been on perfect amino from advanced bionutrionals for a couple years now. It really does work and does not break a fast. I am 61, can still carry 50lbs when I have to. You will see the difference.
I had started to lose weight a few years ago but didn't know why. Then I realized alot of my muscle was gone. Before that, I lifted a lot of packages at work, and when I retired that's when the muscle loss started. Thankfully I was able to get it back. Hope that works for you as well. If you take 5 of them every day, which is the recommended amount, you should see a difference. Now if I miss a day here and there, it's no big deal. I would say initially I had results within a month.

I follow Dr Berg since 2019 it's been an incredible journey learning the benefits of fasting, of doing keto and how everything we do affects everything for our body function. Love the specifics. I also share it with my clients as the mindset I'd what leads us to take action or not towards better health care.
Me too. I took it 7 years ago and lost so much hair and had back acne for the first and only time. I felt amazing on it but the side effects were too much.
If you were drinking coffee then that could have been your problem. I'm quitting coffee due to anxiety and gut health and as all the research I've found is that it also drops levels of dhea and testosterone and estrogen in women. Nooooobody is talking about this because everyone is addicted. Coffee is not healthy for women it is a stimulant drug. It also blocks absorption to minerals. I would drink alot of coffee and take other supplements that it was supposedly blocking or interfering with.. coffee also causes more androgen due to acne in some.. ive seen both. But if you have hormonal and gut problems take bone broth and quit coffee.
Thanks Dr. Berg. I just want to ask, if taking 10 mg of DHEA and hair loss occurs, what would you attribute that to? I had taken this dose in 2018 and lost 40 lbs, felt and looked better than ever, and my depression and anxiety melted away. I was like a new person. That said, as fast as I’d lost weight, I also started losing hair; the other medication I’d started at the same time was LDN (hypothyroid/hashimotos). I was also taking DIM for symptoms of excess estrogen. In any case I stopped both the DHEA and LDN, and the hair loss stopped within three months. So; would you recommend I try DHEA again, given I am now almost 52, and when I took it first I was 46? I have also recently restarted DIM for perimenopause symptoms, while I wait to see a gynaecologist. Thank-you.
I love Dr. Berg's insight to nutrition. I just read the Heathly Keto book and I am excited to see more of his you tube videos. They are very helpful!!!
thx .. this lead to new findings on some of my older research about SRY Proteins, excellent to see continued work on developmental issues (as these relate to all stages of life), Menopausal issues definitely need more airtime.
Females should not take more than 10mg daily orally--add more by using a topical dhea cream (which btw doesn't take as much). Oral dhea coverts partially to the more dangerous form of estrogen so keep the oral dhea low. Told this by several dr's. Also can find more info on youtube.
Dr Berg I love you! I'm 51 and I'm been taking 10mg dhea for menopause. I restarted IF. I had great results last year. I'm going start it again hopefully a lifestyle change permanently. My question is I'm doing an 18/6 IF is it okay to take dhea at 16 hours of fasting? Insulin levels drop and your glycogen stores ares depleted which help breakdown fat for energy. I'm may be over 181 lbs 5'2 . I've also noticed I can fast longer. Any reports you share with us? Thanks you helping me understand my body.
First of all, Dr. Berg, thank you so much for all your help. I tried DHEA 25mg for eight months last year, but after six months, I started with some issues related to my periods. I experienced cramps, heavy periods, prolonged periods, but I was feeling much more energetic during the period I was taking the DHEA supplement. Nowadays, I can't take DHEA for more than a week without having my period starting again. I lost weight during my DHEA use, and I would like to try it again, but I am afraid of messing with my hormones doing that.
Hi there. Have you tried micronized DHEA at 5-10 mg doses instead? 25 is quite high for many women and sounds like it might have raised your estrogen too much. That happened to me. I now use 10 mg micronized DHEA which I get off of IHerb. I also use it every other day and find that this has helped me. Another thing to possibly try is sublingual pregnenolone. The grandmother of them all. I take 5 mg sublingually three times a week on opposite days of the DHEA. The combo was recommended by an MD/ Functional Medicine Dr here in Europe a year ago ( I am originally from the states where it’s easier to get them over the counter. Now I order online instead of paying the Dr’s exorbitant fees ) Hope this helps a bit. Best wishes xx ☺️🙏
How much did you take. You have to start really low and slow If you start too high you can really cause problems. I started with 5mg. Then I moved up to ten. Women should not take more than 30mg or you run the risk of health issues you do not want.
Doctor please provide more information on slightly elevated levels of DHEAS while cortisol levels are normal.While 5 fold to 10 folds increase could be caused due to some tumors while slightly elevated levels have no reasons supporting the cause for it.. Please share your research on this . Thanks in advance
Oh my gosh, this explains a lot… I started on DHEA and started with 15 mg and was getting headaches… And I’m sure headaches come from increased estrogen, right?
Dr. Berg, please if you can share your thoughts on someone, me, who’s had a total hysterectomy (uterine cancer) including an appendectomy with past problems with DVT’s and PE’s. I’m unable to take any HRT’s prescription or OTC because of this but have all of the issues mentioned. Would I be a candidate in your opinion for taking a small dose of DHEA? Many thanks!
I experienced Disembarkment Syndrome for 4 months after a 4 day cruise. My husband is disappointed because I refuse to go on another cruise, saying maybe next time it won't be so bad. Would love to know if there is something that would help.
I ordered DHEA 10 mg and started taking one per day. About 5 days later i started experiencing mood swings and pre menopause symptoms. Ie: memory loss and tired. Should i try every second day? Or change to suppository?
I am breastfeeding and have zero testosterone on my blood work that’s explained lots Of my symptoms I am having. Hormone doctor recommended to me to take it saying that it’s save while breastfeeding but I am still terrifying. But also want to get rid of the hell that lack of testosterone makes me live in. Idk what to do
I’m 65, and have been taking 10mg of dhea for a few years and it has helped tremendously with hot flashes.
Hello Roxanne, I am curious if you are still taking the DHEA and is it still helping with hot flashes? Thank you
I just started mine today. I hope it works for my flashes !
they say it can either lower or increase cholesterol in woman

That said, as fast as I’d lost weight, I also started losing hair; the other medication I’d started at the same time was LDN (hypothyroid/hashimotos). I was also taking DIM for symptoms of excess estrogen. In any case I stopped both the DHEA and LDN, and the hair loss stopped within three months. So; would you recommend I try DHEA again, given I am now almost 52, and when I took it first I was 46? I have also recently restarted DIM for perimenopause symptoms, while I wait to see a gynaecologist. Thank-you.
I love dhea I take 25mg daily for 2 months. Best thing I've done for myself in a while
Thank you! One time i took it too long on small amounts & started losing my hair , greasy and acne 😖 It was NOT great 😂now I use it cyclically
I love Dr. Berg's insight to nutrition. I just read the Heathly Keto book and I am excited to see more of his you tube videos. They are very helpful!!!
So glad they help!
I started taking DHEA and that night I was getting the worst nightmares. Has anyone else had this?
thx .. this lead to new findings on some of my older research about SRY Proteins, excellent to see continued work on developmental issues (as these relate to all stages of life), Menopausal issues definitely need more airtime.
Females should not take more than 10mg daily orally--add more by using a topical dhea cream (which btw doesn't take as much). Oral dhea coverts partially to the more dangerous form of estrogen so keep the oral dhea low. Told this by several dr's. Also can find more info on youtube.
Not manopausal, yet thank you for the info Dr berg.
Dr Berg I love you! I'm 51 and I'm been taking 10mg dhea for menopause. I restarted IF. I had great results last year. I'm going start it again hopefully a lifestyle change permanently. My question is I'm doing an 18/6 IF is it okay to take dhea at 16 hours of fasting? Insulin levels drop and your glycogen stores ares depleted which help breakdown fat for energy. I'm may be over 181 lbs 5'2 . I've also noticed I can fast longer. Any reports you share with us? Thanks you helping me understand my body.
DHEA did wonders for my Eczema
What brand of DHEA
It really does away with hot flashes!
DHEA and DIM..can I take them together?
Hello doctor, can you make a video for us about obsessive-compulsive disorder?
First of all, Dr. Berg, thank you so much for all your help. I tried DHEA 25mg for eight months last year, but after six months, I started with some issues related to my periods. I experienced cramps, heavy periods, prolonged periods, but I was feeling much more energetic during the period I was taking the DHEA supplement. Nowadays, I can't take DHEA for more than a week without having my period starting again. I lost weight during my DHEA use, and I would like to try it again, but I am afraid of messing with my hormones doing that.
Hi there. Have you tried micronized DHEA at 5-10 mg doses instead? 25 is quite high for many women and sounds like it might have raised your estrogen too much. That happened to me. I now use 10 mg micronized DHEA which I get off of IHerb. I also use it every other day and find that this has helped me. Another thing to possibly try is sublingual pregnenolone. The grandmother of them all. I take 5 mg sublingually three times a week on opposite days of the DHEA. The combo was recommended by an MD/ Functional Medicine Dr here in Europe a year ago ( I am originally from the states where it’s easier to get them over the counter. Now I order online instead of paying the Dr’s exorbitant fees ) Hope this helps a bit. Best wishes xx ☺️🙏
@@PandaA-cv3mm Thank you for your tips. I will give it a chance.
@@PandaA-cv3mm thank you for sharing this. May God bless you!
@@reneeharagsim4720 Of course Renee! Hope I could help a bit and bless you too, dear. 🙏🌈
Thank you Panda. I will try this combination. 😊
The answer man, at it again. Thanks!
Another master piece video from Dr Berg leaving competition in the dust. Channel is on fire, adding 1 million subs like every couple of months
All this did for me was cause facial hair growth. I stopped it and hair growth has greatly diminished
How much did you take. You have to start really low and slow If you start too high you can really cause problems. I started with 5mg. Then I moved up to ten. Women should not take more than 30mg or you run the risk of health issues you do not want.
Thank you so much Dr Berg.Your videos are really amazing.
Thank you!❤ So much i needed this video today you just know what we need Day by Day!💐❤🌹🙏🕊⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍🙋
Thank you Dr. Berg!!! You are the BEST!!!!

Can you do a video on DHEA for men? And which application is best such as capsules subliguals or lotion like dermacrine for absorption? Thanks!
Thank you so much for all your helpful, precise and easy to understand info
Can you take DHEA along with hormone pellet therapy?
Should dhea be taken with food? When should it be taken in relation to food?
At what age women could start taking DHEA, dr Berg?? I am 38 years old.. too late? Too early? Thank you very much..
Thank you for the information! I'm 50! I struggle with oily skin!
You're welcome!
Your video is really useful thanks 🙏
Doctor please provide more information on slightly elevated levels of DHEAS while cortisol levels are normal.While 5 fold to 10 folds increase could be caused due to some tumors while slightly elevated levels have no reasons supporting the cause for it..
Please share your research on this .
Thanks in advance
Please share on perimenopause.
can you take DHEA and HRT TOGETHER
I don’t know what I would do without you Thank you
Happy to help. Stay safe!
Oh my gosh, this explains a lot… I started on DHEA and started with 15 mg and was getting headaches… And I’m sure headaches come from increased estrogen, right?
Thank you Dr. Berg. You are the best.🍵
LOVE your content! I get so much out of each post!
I took this a long time ago. I heard that long term usage can be hazardous but I'm not sure. Maybe that's only under certain conditions.
Yo Dr. Berg, bro! Thanks for the info on DHEA for women. Now how about a video on the benefits of DHEA for Men? ✌🏾😌
Great info!! Thank you!!
Most welcome!
Hi Doc, please, could you advise me for how long can I take DHEA? Should I do a cure 3, 6 or more months?
Greetings from London.
Thank you! Going to try this
Hi dr. Berg.
And... how much milligrams for women over 40 years old?
He said between 10 and 30 milligrams but NO MORE than 30 mg. It can make a woman's hair fall out if you take too much!!
Always love your informative videos
Thank you Dr. Berg ! Great information
Make a video on ADENOMYOSIS ………please…..
Very helpful, thank you
How do we know if we have more estrogen or androgen? Thanks
Ask your Gyn dr to order a full blood panel, or look for a local anti-aging dr
Thanks
Doctor

Dr. Berg, please if you can share your thoughts on someone, me, who’s had a total hysterectomy (uterine cancer) including an appendectomy with past problems with DVT’s and PE’s. I’m unable to take any HRT’s prescription or OTC because of this but have all of the issues mentioned. Would I be a candidate in your opinion for taking a small dose of DHEA? Many thanks!
I would love to hear the answer to your great question. I can't help but notice most questions go unanswered.
Thank you Dr.Berg.
If I’m taking bio identical hormones of estradiol and progesterone should I also add DHEA? I eat like a bird and I still can’t loose weight.
Good info.thanks Dr.Berg.
Very helpful ✅ can you please share your opinion on Disembarkment Syndrome 🙏🏽
I experienced Disembarkment Syndrome for 4 months after a 4 day cruise. My husband is disappointed because I refuse to go on another cruise, saying maybe next time it won't be so bad. Would love to know if there is something that would help.
Dr berg can you do a video about inulin? it seems to be added in everything these days, including yogurt.
Hello. We will add this to our video suggestion list. Thanks.

I ordered DHEA 10 mg and started taking one per day. About 5 days later i started experiencing mood swings and pre menopause symptoms. Ie: memory loss and tired. Should i try every second day? Or change to suppository?
Dr Berg you are a bright light🤍
Any ideas for why a 70yr old woman would have high DHEA? Could it cause a problem? Love your videos.
I love these videos. Thank you.
Incredible! I was just thinking about the adrenals and the other co-topics mentioned.
I am breastfeeding and have zero testosterone on my blood work that’s explained lots
Of my symptoms I am having. Hormone doctor recommended to me to take it saying that it’s save while breastfeeding but I am still terrifying. But also want to get rid of the hell that lack of testosterone makes me live in. Idk what to do
