Symptoms of Low Testosterone in Females! List Attached!
I would recommend the following blood test screen: - Testosterone -
DHEA
-Free Androgen Index If your hormone levels are low and you are experiencing some of the attached symptoms. Depending where you are in terms of age / menopause... ask for further investigation.

Results are in - T3/T4. Does anyone know what the lower ranges for serum ACTH and DHEA are? My area uses 0 so I’m ‘normal’ apparently
The only thing is, the ranges for ACTH and
DHEA
start at zero, which I thought was weird. Also, I wouldn’t have tested my TSH, FT3 and FT4 yet as I’ve been slowly raising my T3 dose and got to 20 mcg a few weeks ago. What do you think? Any pearls of wisdom?

Adrenal cortisol & DHEA results
I recently did another saliva test to see if my cortisol/
DHEA
is affecting my insomnia. I feel so much better during the day, since starting Low dose Naltrexone (LDN), but would like to fix my chronic insomnia.

Best Supplements, Vitamins and Herbs for Depression and Anxiety -- as per Consumer Lab.
John's wort, SAMe,
DHEA
, and Rhodiola rosea. In women, daily supplementation with folic acid has been shown to increase the effectiveness of the antidepressant SSRI drug fluoxetine (Prozac) and increase the rate of recovery from depression compared to treatment with Prozac alone.

Genova adrenal stress test
Cortisol and
DHEA
will be tested first thing in the morning, and then cortisol levels though out the day, the last time at bedtime. I have read the instructions carefully several times but still don't fully understand so wanted to see if anyone else here has ordered the same tests.

DHEA - insomnia?
So I’ve recently started taking
DHEA
and I’ve had insomnia now for a week. Is there a link to this? Has anyone else had the same? I have to point out the insomnia could equally be down to anxiety.

Hello, once again I went to another dr that didnt know what to do with me! Short story of 2019- had an adrenal crash in June, looked around for another doctor, previous one just wanted to run test and not listen to symptoms. Was told about functional medicine doctor so thought she could help. Saw her

Having to go off NDT after several years and back on levo only - how to explain it?
After being treated with high doses of steroids for autoimmune encephalitis in late 2018, I ended up with high cortisol levels x 4 (confirmed by Genova saliva stress test which also showed bottom range
DHEA
).
