DHEA Supplement not working?

Cortisol is your body’s stress accelerator 🚗💨

It flips on fight-or-flight, releases quick energy, and even temporarily tones down immunity so you can “get through it.”

DHEA is the buffer 🛡️

It helps counter cortisol’s wear-and-tear, protects tissues, and supports immune balance—especially when stress sticks around.

That’s why the cortisol : DHEA ratio matters.

High cortisol + low DHEA can look like a body stuck in survival mode: more inflammation, more breakdown, and mood that feels… off.
