One characteristic of ageing is decreased secretion of the adrenal androgens, DHEA and DHEAS. Termed adrenopause, this condition is problematic people over 40 because DHEA contributes to 50% and 100% of testosterone production in men and post-menopausal women, respectively.

00:10 Adrenopause is when your adrenals go into a state of decline. 00:30 About 75% of estrogens and androgens come from adrenals in post-menopausal women. 01:00 Adrenopause can appear as low DHEA, low cortisol, low cortisol awakening response, and low libido. 01:40 The adrenal medulla is the innermost portion of the adrenal gland. 01:45 Adrenal glands make epinephrine and norepinephrine. 02:00 The zona reticularis and zona fasciculata are where cortisol and other corticosteroids are released. 02:50 Cortisol should be high in the morning and lower at night. 03:30 Atrophy of portions of the adrenal glands can lead to adrenopause, which is linked with sub-optimal testosterone, poor immunologic responses, aberrant changes in estrogen and vaginal dryness. 05:40 DHEA is metabolized into testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, and estrogen, as well as affect immunologic health, brain tissue and other aspects of physiology. 07:10 Men should test DHEA before considering HRT. 08:10 You can test serum DHEA sulfate, the storage form of DHEA. 08:50 The DUTCH plus complete tests your cortisol awakening response, DHEA, melatonin, estrogen metabolites and progesterone. 09:45 Supplement timing: You may supplement adrenal glandulars and thyroid extracts in the morning and DHEA in the evening. 11:10 General dosing: men – 10 mg/decade of life, women – 2.5mg/decade of life 11:45 Insulin resistance can increase levels of androgens with DHEA supplementation. 12:20 Exposure to morning sunlight and evening sunlight can stimulate your cortisol awakening response. 12:45 The amplitude and intensity of your circadian clock system becomes muted as you age. |

Circadian lighting is the latest buzzword in health and medicine. Here’s a full breakdown of all things related to light exposure, sleep and circadian rhythms.
Support your Circadian Rhythm and sleep with MYOXCIENCE's targeted adrenal support nutrients in the morning and evening: Link to video and show notes: https://bit.ly/3wRRKcf Study Mentioned: Brown, T. M. et al. Recommendations for daytime, evening, and nighttime indoor light exposure to best support physiology, sleep, and wakefulness in healthy adults. Plos Biol 20, e3001571 (2022) Time Stamps:
00:35 Sleep is as important as a nutrient. 01:30 Artificial light at night can impair your attention the next day and impact melatonin and growth hormone release. 02:08 A Lux is a measurement of the intensity of light. 07:00 Mental health disorders should prompt an examination of light hygiene. 07:30 Light influences circadian rhythm, sleep, alertness, mood, and neuro, endocrine and cognitive function. 07:40 Retinal responses to light are important determiners of health, wellbeing and performance. 09:20 Receiving 100 lux or more light exposure in the evening, melatonin is significantly suppressed. 10:30 In intense light, retinal cells seem to transmit messages that it is daytime, relaying chemical cues to the main circadian clock hub suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in your hypothalamus, which is part of your hormonal regulatory system. 11:50 Daylight recommendation is 250 lux at the level of the eye. Being in the car or wearing sunglasses does not count. 13:15 Minimize exposure in the 3 hours prior to your sleep time to just 10 lux measured at the eye. A candle releases about 1 lux. Your phone is about 50 lux. 14:25 Sleep environment maximum ambient light exposure is 1 lux. 15:40 Just 5 lux during sleep has been shown to have significant increases in a myriad of cardiovascular biomarkers. 16:10 Light affects the rate at which you age at a cellular level. |

02:30 20%-50% of your protein synthesizing genes oscillate on a diurnal rhythm. 03:40 Disease alters the circadian clock system. 04:40 Blood sugar management supplements and pharmaceuticals would be best taken in the afternoon or evening, when blood sugar levels are most erratic. 05:03 Blood lipid level management supplements and pharmaceuticals would be best taken in the evening, when lipid synthesis occurs. 05:54 Decrease inflammatory tone before you go to sleep by doing some light yoga, breath work, take probiotics or curcuminoids. 07:30 Sleep perturbations cause dysbiosis in gut bacteria. 09:40 The intensity of your circadian rhythm is reduced as you age. 11:10 Circadian chronotypes influence the timing of cancer interventions. 12:00 N-acetylcysteine and other antioxidants are best taken in the evening or before bed. 12:40 Results of studies may be inaccurate due to timing. 15:20 Shift workers have a higher incidence of cancer, metabolic disease, and obesity. 14:50 Cold, food, heat, meal timing and exercise influence your circadian clock system. 17:20 Menopause challenges the circadian clock system, reducing the amplitude of the rhythms. 18:40 Young people/children’s circadian rhythm is more light sensitive. Artificial light can be more problematic. 23:00 Fasting and feeding influence your circadian clock system. Break your fast between 11 and 1 pm when your digestive system is primed. 24:45 DHEA antagonizes cortisol’s synthesis and expression. 28:05 Darkness is a circadian cue. Exercise light hygiene. 31:25 Morning cold exposure and evening heat exposure enhances circadian amplitude.

01:00 People who are physically active are less likely to experience common classic symptoms. 01:53 Exercise is a key therapeutic intervention. It does not need to be structured recreational fitness. 03:45 There are now 7 studies showing that regular exercise and physical activity saves lives. 05:43 MET = Metabolic Equivalent Task. 06:15 Fewer than 30 MET hours per week means that you more likely to have moderate to severe symptoms. 09:45 80 MET hours per week garnered the fewest symptoms. 10:50 40 – 60 MET hours per week is ideal. 12:00 Even walking and gardening are protective. 12:40 There is reduced odds of death.
