7-Day DHEA-S Support Plan
Protocol Objectives
Cholesterol
DHEA is made from cholesterol. Dietary cholesterol (eggs, butter, shrimp) supports production, especially in low-fat dieters.
Insulin Control
High insulin lowers DHEA. A low-glycemic or moderate carb diet helps preserve levels.
Healthy Fats
Omega-3s and monounsaturated fats provide the environment for healthy cell signaling.

Stress
Chronic stress 'steals' pregnenolone to make cortisol, leaving less substrate for DHEA. Stress management is key.
