Adrenopause Strategies

Meaning

Adrenopause Strategies refers to the clinical and lifestyle interventions employed to counteract the adverse physiological effects associated with the age-related decline in adrenal androgen production, specifically dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfate (DHEA-S). This comprehensive approach is designed to support the body’s resilience against chronic stress and metabolic shifts that occur as the adrenal cortex’s zona reticularis involutes. Clinicians utilize these strategies to address symptoms like diminished vitality, reduced bone density, and subtle cognitive changes often correlated with low adrenal androgen levels. The goal is not merely replacement but the optimization of the precursor hormone pool for peripheral tissue needs.
