Pregnenolone is a precursor to a myriad of hormones - cortisol, aldosterone, estrogen, DHEA, progesterone, and testosterone. The body, when under massive amounts of stress, will manufacture more cortisol and will essentially "steal" the pregnenolone from becoming a precursor for the other valuable hormones.
The result? Symptoms of adrenal fatigue, hormonal imbalance, or higher blood cholesterol levels. Cholesterol is a precursor to pregnenolone; if the output of the various other hormones is reduced, the body will produce more raw materials (cholesterol) in hopes that with more pregnenolone, less will be stolen and the other hormones can be manufactured.
These conditions can effectively be treated via nutrition and homeopathy. If desired, schedule a complimentary consultation.
