Adrenal Stress Panel

Chronic stress can wreak havoc on your body. It disrupts your metabolism and can contribute to neurological conditions, GI issues, and hormone imbalance. Not to mention weight gain. Stress interferes with your sleep-wake cycle.

The Adrenal Stress Test measures your stress response.

If you have experienced prolonged stress, it can lead to an imbalance of cortisol. Cortisol is released during stress, and DHEA is released to de-stress. An increased cortisol:DHEA ratio = a state of “emergency” versus a state of “repair and relax.” The balance and ratio of these hormones provide insight into how the body is responding to stress.

Cortisol is meant to be higher in the morning to provide us with energy and then lower in the evening so that we can wind down. In the case of chronic ongoing (chronic) stress is that your cortisol rhythm can become off-kilter. 

Evaluating cortisol:DHEA ratio with an Adrenal Stress Panel can identify hormone patterns as a response to stressFrom the results, you can begin to integrate ways to support your adrenal glands via diet and lifestyle.
