Why Stress & Cortisol Check Matters?

Chronic stress can quietly disrupt your hormonal balance, immunity, sleep, and metabolism. Cortisol and DHEA-S are two crucial adrenal hormones that regulate the body’s response to stress. When out of balance, they may contribute to fatigue, anxiety, poor concentration, and even hormonal dysfunction. Early identification of adrenal imbalances allows for personalised lifestyle adjustments to restore resilience, energy, and emotional stability.

FAQs

What does this test measure?

The test looks at two key adrenal hormones; Cortisol and DHEA-S, which play a central role in how your body reacts to physical, emotional, and metabolic stress.

Who should consider this test?

It's ideal for individuals experiencing constant fatigue, low motivation, mood issues, or difficulty coping with daily stressors. It’s also suitable for those with disrupted sleep or energy crashes throughout the day.

Can stress hormones affect weight or metabolism?

Yes. Elevated or depleted cortisol levels can influence blood sugar regulation, fat storage, and even muscle breakdown, which can all impact weight and metabolic health.

When is the best time to take the stress panel?

Morning is typically recommended since cortisol follows a daily rhythm and is naturally highest in the early hours. Following your provider’s timing advice is essential for accurate interpretation.

What can I do if my results show imbalances?

If your stress hormone levels are outside the optimal range, targeted interventions, such as sleep hygiene, stress-reduction techniques, nutritional changes, or medical therapies, can help rebalance the adrenal system.
