Forever Young show podcast Feb 4th 2021 What is DHEA and why use it as a skin cream called Twist 25

 

This Forever Young interview recorded Feb 4th 2021 explains for listeners what DHEA is, what DHEA does; and why using Twist 25 DHEA cream daily after age 35 makes so much sense to maintain cardiovascular health, immune system, energy, mood muscle, quality sleep, reduced fat, improved sex drive and so much more with no dangerous side effects.

Maintain Health and Sex Life with DHEA

From birth to about age 25, humans, men and women alike, produce more and more DHEA. DHEA is short for dehydroepiandrosterone a prohormone that is produced in the adrenal glands, gonads and dermis. It is a carbon chain molecule; a precursor or prohormone to male androgens as well as female sex hormones like the estrogens. It is a crucial foundation to good health. Hormones are the chemical messengers that drive us.

Shown below is a graph of DHEA levels over the human lifespan. Also shown is a graph of slightly improved DHEA levels possible if one were to supplement DHEA during the human lifespan to gain the benefits of maintaining a solid foundation for hormone metabolism.

DHEA applied as a skin cream provides something the body makes naturally in the dermis (DHEA) where it occurs and is metabolized naturally. The bioavailability for beneficial effects are much greater when DHEA is used as a properly made skin cream, instead of a pill. DHEA pills are largely eliminated by the first pass effect of the liver. Twist 25 is bioidentical DHEA in a carefully made coconut oil base cream.

Maintaining healthy production of hormones after age 30 allows the body to continue healthy function, while fighting off cardiovascular disease, cancer, dementia and osteoporosis. Healthy hormones also contribute to maintaining energy, sex drive, muscle tone, soft skin and connective tissue. Furthermore, DHEA counterbalances cortisol, the inflamatory response hormone.

In addition, DHEA is known to reduce abdominal fat.¹ Medical research demonstrates that higher DHEA levels are positively associated with more efficient metabolism of energy consumed, instead of storing it as subcutaneous or visceral fat. Improved DHEA levels allow for better energy consumption and less fat.

So, stay healthy, support your immune system, fight off ailments of aging…and improve sex life too? Count me in!

Use Twist 25 DHEA cream. Make your own hormones.

What does DHEA do for you?

Anti-aging one day at a time

DHEA, also known as dehydroepiandrosterone, is the most abundant prohormone in the body. As a natural pro-hormone, it occurs only in humans and upper level primates.

DHEA was first identified in 1931 by Dr. Adolf Butenandt, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1939. Frequently called the anti-aging hormone, DHEA is a base for more than 50 hormones that are smaller or more specific carbon chain molecules in human biochemistry. As a precursor of all estrogenic and androgenic hormones, humans make DHEA naturally from birth. Men and women produce more and more DHEA every year until about age 25, when levels are at their peak. After age 25, DHEA levels begin to decline at a rate of about two percent per year thereafter.

What does DHEA do?

One of the primary roles for DHEA is a base hormone precursor. Low DHEA is correlated to many diseases of aging, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, osteoporosis, depression and dementia.

DHEA promotes tissue formation after exercise, and counterbalances the inflammatory effects of cortisol. So it helps reduce soreness after workouts, and helps rebuild muscle, cartilage and bone. DHEA also serves as a base for sebum (skin oil), protecting skin cells from both UV and chemical carcinogens. In addition, DHEA stimulates formation of connective tissue and cartilage and improves bone strength.

DHEA supports:

-Energy, focus and mental acuity

-Immune system

-Lean muscle tone

-Bone strength

-Cardiovascular health

-Libido and sexual performance

-Deep REM sleep

-Softer, more hydrated skin

DHEA reduces:

-Abdominal Fat

-Risk of Cancer

-Risk of Cardiovascular Disease

-Fatigue

-Depression

-Poor quality sleep

-Joint pain

-Muscle soreness

Available without a prescription, DHEA is safe; and not addictive or habit forming. DHEA should be used as a topical skin cream by people 35 years and older, rather than in pill form. When taken orally as a pill, most DHEA is eliminated by the liver before it can be effective. It is also not possible to eat any particular foods to increase DHEA. For greatest benefit, those who are 35 years or older should apply Twist 25 DHEA cream morning and evening by rubbing it in each day on thin hairless skin.
