I eat a very low carb diet and have been having issues with weight fluctuations and a layer of abdominal fat that wont reduce. My Dr (Dr. Cowan) in the Bay Area suggested getting a DHEA-S test. Got the results back and the level is at 148 and the normal range is <560. I sent him an email to check in but just wondering if other people have experienced these levels of DHEA? Normal? Low? Very Low? Thanks much!
