A lot of women I work with say,
“I’ve had my hormones tested and everything came back normal.”
But often, there’s one hormone that’s never been checked
but can tell us so much.
It’s called DHEA
DHEA plays a really important role in things like:
Hormone production
Fertility and egg quality
Energy and stress resilience
And symptoms like acne, hair thinning, or irregular periods
But it’s not something that’s included in most standard hormone panels. And unless you’re working with someone who looks deeper it often gets missed.
DHEA is made by the adrenal glands,
and it helps your body make estrogen, testosterone, and a stronger hormone called DHT, which can sometimes drive symptoms even if your testosterone looks completely normal.
We test DHEAs (with an “S”) because it’s the stable, active form that stays in your blood longer and gives us a more accurate picture of your hormone and adrenal health.
Here’s a general guide to target DHEAs levels in μmol/L:
2–3 μmol/L
When DHEAs is too high, it can show up as acne, facial hair, or irregular periods.
When it’s too low, it can impact your energy, libido, egg quality, and how well your body handles stress.
If you’ve never had your DHEAs tested and you still feel like something’s off
this could be a good place to start.

It’s a bit of a vicious cycle.
Oestrogen increases histamine, and histamine can stimulate further oestrogen release.
If your body isn’t clearing histamine efficiently, symptoms like cramps, mood changes, breakouts or headaches often show up in the lead-up to your period.
We see this often in clinic. And when we support histamine clearance and hormonal balance, things start to improve.
If that sounds like you, we’d love to help.

Ok so your doctor has recommended The Mirena for you. There are plenty of reasons why people choose it, with contraception being a big one. Have you thought about how it actually works? And what about the risks that might come with it? At Solace Health, we're all about looking at both sides, making sure the benefits outweigh any potential risks. It's a great option for those who need it and tolerate it well, but if you're experiencing any side effects, remember, you can always chat to your doctor about other options. In clinic here at Solace Health, the main one we see is an increased risk associated with gut health disturbances correlated to having a Mirena inserted. Have you noticed any changes in your gut health since starting Mirena? Want some further information? Comment 'Mirena' below! 💬
