Stress can lead to higher cortisol and lower DHEA.  Which can lead to issues such as fatigue and depression.

A slow release carbohydrate in the morning can lower cortisol, such as a fibrous starch.  But not sugars.  Whole grains and other seeds also contain nutrients essential for hormones and for mood.  Or the foods in my signature link are balanced to contain nearly all the various vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and more.  Protein OTOH raises cortisol, especially high protein diets in women.  I would definitely stay away from that.  A reasonable amount of cardio is also helpful for stress.  Cortisol also disrupts sleep and lowers estrogen and progesterone.

Ashwaghandha extract us helpful for stress and fenugreek or shatavari extract is helpful for depression, but I think diet is the main thing since what your body can make is limited by its nutrients. 

Yes if you can reduce stress that is likely helpful.

I couldn’t find consistent information on DHEA supplementation.  It’s not always a good idea.  You’d probably want to talk to your doctor before taking it and to figure out how much to take, if any.

A prebiotic such as 5+g inulin powder or at least a golf ball sized sunchoke (which contains inulin) is also good for gut bacteria who give a constant 24 hour supply of B vitamins for stress and sleep.  Sunchokes helped me a lot in college.  You want to start slow and let the gut bacteria multiply because without enough gut bacteria to digest them you’ll get gassy.
