Stress Hormone Test - Adrenals

Find out how well your body handles stress.

The Adrenocortex Stress Profile measures the key hormones involved in the stress response. Stress hormones like cortisol are released from your adrenal gland into your blood stream and affect your whole body.

• Are you burned out and unable to keep up?
• Difficulty recovering from workouts?
• Is your stress response too high causing insomnia, weight gain, and chronic disease?

This test can guide you to more energy, better sleep, improved mood, clearer thinking, and more effective workouts.

Who needs this test?

Stress comes in many forms: mental and emotional distress, over-exercising, chronic pain, toxic exposures, shiftwork, and others. Your adrenal glands react the same, regardless of the cause. This stress response affects your ability to sleep, fight infections, recover from workouts, and even lose weight. Do you suffer from:

• insomnia
• Weight gain
• fatigue
• brain fog
• Poor memory
• Persistent pain
• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• recurrent infections
• High blood pressure

How will this test help me?

You might think you don't need testing to know you're 'stressed.' This profile shows cortisol patterns that might surprise you and aren't measured in conventional testing. When stress goes unchecked, it can lead to a host of chronic issues. Your results may offer insight on:

Burnout

A flat line of cortisol release may indicate potential burnout.

Glucose Instability

High spikes of cortisol during the day may be caused by blood sugar instability.

Insomnia

Elevations of cortisol at night may be contributing to your inability to sleep.

Performance

Abnormal findings can help guide optimal exercise and adjust recovery time.

Balance

The body's balance between hormones can build up muscle and bone or break them down over time.

Metabolic Health

Chronically high cortisol levels can lead to weight gain, diabetes, and inability to fight infections.
