Cortisol suppresses T3 conversion; insulin resistance worsens with cortisol elevation and oestrogen decline; cardiovascular risk rises as thyroid and metabolic function deteriorates. Testing all together reveals the root cause in a single kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this test if I am on HRT, the contraceptive pill, or levothyroxine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. HRT and the pill affect thyroid hormone binding and lipid profiles, which is precisely why a comprehensive panel including FT3, FT4, and TT4 provides more useful information than TSH alone. Follow the timing guidance in your kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen should I collect my samples during my cycle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuidance on optimal cycle timing for both the blood spot and saliva samples is included in the kit instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow accurate is the cortisol measurement?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSaliva cortisol is measured using LC-MS\/MS - the gold standard for bioavailable hormone measurement, reflecting the free active fraction rather than total bound cortisol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the price include the laboratory fee?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
