Question
dr Boss -


I think they maybe test the DHEA levels differently here?

The only possible range for DHEA is between 0.5 and 1.0


Heres the findings:::

Total Daily Cortisol: 40.6

It then says, that my DHEA to cortisol Ratio is ::  2.2


(Dhea sample 1 morning - 0.90 in possible range of 0.5 - 1.0)
(Dhea sample 3 afternoon - 0.87 in possible range of 0-5 - 1.0)


The test was taken at IWDL england : http://www.iwdl.net/


At least u have the DHEA to cortisol ratio !

Many thanks!

Answer
D,

Thanks for the information, but these measurements are different apparently.  That would make the ratio different as well.

Here is what I usually encounter: If Cortisol is high, DHEA is low. It may not be out of range low when test is taken, but it is on it's way.  

I usually supplement DHEA and pregnenolone to raise DHEA and bring Cortisol/DHEA ratio more into balance.  Additionally, when cortisol is high, I use phosphatidyl-serine to improve Hypothalamus/pituitary reception to Cortisol feedback loop to lower cortisol levels.

This brings levels into balance and patients begin to feel great. You may talk to your doctor about this.

I hope you feel better.
