Dr. Jay Wrigley, NMD and Functional Medicine Doctor, includes pregnenolone in his protocols for patients where the entire steroidogenic cascade appears depleted — a pattern he associates with chronic stress, aging, and the mitochondrial dysfunction that impairs cholesterol-to-pregnenolone conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the LCHPMF™ framework, pregnenolone status is assessed as part of the comprehensive adrenal and sex hormone evaluation. The \"pregnenolone steal\" phenomenon — where chronic cortisol demand diverts pregnenolone away from sex hormone synthesis — is a key mechanism Dr. Wrigley addresses in his Cortisol Dominant and Andropause protocols.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClinical context:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a hormone precursor product.
