What is DHEA?
DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is the most abundant hormone in the human body. It peaks in your early 20s and then begins to decline. By age 40, levels are already cut in half, and by 65, most people are left with just 10–20% of their youthful supply.
At Levitas Clinics – leaders in hormone optimisation and DHEA restoration for men and women in London and Surrey – we help restore this vital hormone, supporting your energy, resilience, and overall wellbeing.
Why Do We Need DHEA?
DHEA is often called the “mother hormone.” It sits at the start of the hormone pathway, helping the body make essential hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. Without enough DHEA, your body struggles to stay balanced.
This is why DHEA restoration therapy for men and women is such an important part of hormone optimisation in London and Surrey. It supports healthy ageing, vitality, and stress resilience.
Symptoms of Low DHEA
Falling levels can affect both men and women. Signs you may benefit from DHEA therapy include:
- Insomnia and poor sleep
- Feeling constantly burnt out
- Struggling to cope with stress
- Lack of drive, energy, or motivation
- Low resilience and slower recovery
At Levitas Clinics, leaders in hormone optimisation, we offer advanced hormone testing in Knightsbridge, Mayfair, Chelsea, Belgravia, Kensington, Kingston, Esher, Cobham, Ashtead, Epsom, Guildford, Farnham, and Haslemere to identify whether low DHEA is contributing to your symptoms.
How Much DHEA Should We Produce?
The body naturally makes around 35–60 mg of DHEA daily. We measure this through blood or saliva testing.
If levels are low, safe medical replacement can make a significant difference. At Levitas Clinics – leaders in DHEA restoration for men and women – doses are carefully prescribed (usually 10–50 mg daily) and rechecked after three months for precision and safety.
Can Lifestyle Boost DHEA Naturally?
Yes — and we always encourage natural support alongside therapy. Steps include:
- Stress reduction → lowering cortisol prevents “hormone steal”
- Exercise → helps stimulate natural DHEA production
But by midlife, lifestyle changes alone often aren’t enough. That’s why specialist DHEA therapy in London and Surrey provides safe, guided restoration.
