Stress Response & Adrenal Function Evaluation

What’s Included in this Package?

1. Cortisol (Morning & Afternoon)

Cortisol is your main stress hormone — it should be high in the morning for alertness and low in the evening for rest.

• Morning Cortisol: Assesses baseline adrenal energy and wake-up response.
• Afternoon Cortisol: Detects whether cortisol stays too high (chronic stress) or too low (adrenal fatigue).

2. DHEA-S (Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate)

Balances the effects of cortisol and helps the body recover from stress.

• Low DHEA-S indicates adrenal exhaustion and poor resilience.
• High levels may suggest hormonal imbalance or overtraining.

3. Aldosterone

Regulates sodium, potassium, and water balance, directly affecting blood pressure and stress reactivity. Abnormal levels may lead to salt cravings, dehydration, dizziness, or low blood pressure.

4. Epinephrine (Adrenaline)

Measures your “fight-or-flight” hormone, which rises during acute stress.

• Chronic elevation can cause anxiety, palpitations, sweating, and fatigue.
• Low levels may reflect adrenal burnout or inability to respond to stress.
