Today at Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy, a patient stopped by holding a wellness article. She looked puzzled. “Rania, it says pregnenolone is the ‘Mother of All Hormones.’ What does that even mean?”

I smiled. “Great question! Pregnenolone is often called the ‘Mother of All Hormones’ because it’s the building block — or precursor — for almost every other hormone in your body.” Her eyes widened as I continued, “That means your body uses pregnenolone to produce cortisol, DHEA, progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, and even aldosterone. It’s like the foundation of your hormonal house.”

She looked amazed. “So if pregnenolone is low, everything else could be off too?”

“Exactly!” I explained. “Low pregnenolone levels can affect your energy, memory, mood, sleep, stress response, and even your immune system. It’s a key player in your adrenal function too — helping you handle stress better.”

She asked, “But I’ve never heard of a pregnenolone prescription.”

“That’s because most doctors focus on the downstream hormones,” I said. “But for some patients, especially those dealing with chronic stress, fatigue, brain fog, or even autoimmune issues, supporting pregnenolone directly can help bring the whole system back into balance.”

She was curious. “So how do I know if I need it?”

I nodded. “Testing is key,” I explained. “Your doctor might order saliva, blood, or urine tests to check your pregnenolone levels. We’re actually working on offering HRT saliva testing here at Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy soon. That will make it easier for patients like you to get a complete picture of your hormone health.”

She smiled, “That would be amazing.”

I grinned. “And here’s the best part — at Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy, we custom-compound pregnenolone capsules or creams in the exact dose your provider recommends. That means fresher, more effective medications without unnecessary fillers or allergens. And with our fully operational hazardous compounding lab, we can handle even complex hormone therapies safely.”

She left feeling empowered and ready to talk to her doctor about testing.

Moments like this remind me why I love pharmacy — educating patients and giving them the tools to take charge of their health.

Until tomorrow,
Rania – Your Friendly Pharmacist at Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy
