Stress and Adrenal Health
The adrenal glands help your body adapt to stress by releasing key hormones like cortisol, DHEA, and adrenaline-related neurotransmitters. Cortisol manages daily stress, DHEA supports hormone balance, and epinephrine/norepinephrine trigger the “fight or flight” response. When balanced, these hormones regulate energy, metabolism, mood, and sleep. Our at-home adrenal stress hormone test kits are analysed by PhD-level scientists using LC-MS/MS methodology, with results returned within 3–5 working days.
Imbalances in adrenal hormones can disrupt daily function in the following ways:
High Cortisol
Results in anxiety, insomnia, sugar cravings, feeling tired but wired, increased belly fat, and impaired immune function.
Low Cortisol
Causes chronic fatigue, low energy, food and sugar cravings, poor exercise tolerance or recovery, and low immune reserves.
High or Low DHEA
DHEA is the precursor to sex hormones. Imbalances affect energy, mood, libido, and the body’s ability to recover from stress.
Epinephrine & Norepinephrine Imbalance
These neurotransmitters regulate the acute stress response. Dysregulation can contribute to anxiety, panic, poor focus, and cardiovascular strain.
What does an adrenal stress test measure?
Our adrenal stress tests measure cortisol (diurnal pattern), DHEA, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and related neurotransmitters — using saliva, dried urine, or combined sample types depending on the profile chosen.
Who should take an adrenal stress test?
These tests are suitable for adults experiencing chronic stress, burnout, fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, weight gain, poor recovery from exercise, or those suspected of adrenal fatigue or HPA axis dysfunction.
