#935: Cortisol vs DHEA - The Hormone Balance Everyone Gets Wrong

DHEA is one of the most commonly self-prescribed hormones—and one of the most misunderstood. In this episode of The Health Revival Show, we break down the real difference between DHEA vs DHEA-S, how cortisol patterns impact adrenal health, and why taking DHEA without testing can worsen acne, anxiety, estrogen dominance, and fatigue.

We cover when DHEA supplementation actually helps, when it hurts, how stress, under-eating, over-training, menopause, and chronic illness affect adrenal output—and what to fix before reaching for hormones.

If you’re dealing with fatigue, low libido, stubborn weight gain, hormone imbalance, or burnout… this episode is a must-listen.
