Use KETO-7 form of DHEA only as needed.

I don't believe in the use of exogenous hormones either yet in the presence of exogenous stressors, including chaotic childhoods, sugar-laced food, violence, loud noises, coffee or nicotine addiction, and tragic life events, DHEA is a grand alternative to psych drugs. DHEA should only be used as needed, and daily use should be rare and short-term. It just works too well. If it doesn't work, don't use it; you don't need it. Use the KETO-7 form of DHEA if not wishing DHEA to transform into other hormones. Women should use the KETO-7 form or stick with 5-10mg dosage; men can easily tolerate 25mg. If the adrenals are working sporadically, a saliva test will give a dipstick of that point in the cycle.

Environmental estrogens, including phyto-estrogens from industrial uses of soy and xeno-estrogens from petrochemicals, including such things as aftershave lotion, can be balanced with estradiol--another exogenous hormone--or simply avoided. Those suffering from Candidiasis are getting dosed with estrogen that is secreted by Candida. Get rid of Candida and give the adrenals a break with a no-sugar diet: no sugar, fake sugars that trigger the same pathways and no sweet fruits, vegetables, and no yeast breads. This is excepting bananas, as the Sugar base, the fructo-oligosaccharides/FOS in bananas, will not feed Candida.

Take Caprylic Acid or the stronger Undecylenic Acid to thin out if not eradicate Candida. Caprylic Acid occurs in cocoanut oil. Whacking back Candida will return the relaxing magnesium being snitched by the Candida to the system.
