Purpose of Test

The Adrenocortex Stress profile gives us a good indication of how your adrenal health is.

We can see your cortisol and Dhea hormone levels. This can give us an idea if your body is in stage 1 2 or 3 levels of HPA axis dysfunction. 

The test is 5 saliva collections throughout the day, giving us a look at the rhythm of cortisol production. This can help us understand if you are being effected by blood sugar imbalances, or high cortisol levels at night making it hard for you to get to sleep.
