Test ID: SB-645 | Saliva 4-Point Cortisol + Blood Spot LCMS Hormones 7 with SHBG & CardioMetabolic
Experiencing low energy, ongoing stress, poor sleep, mood changes, unexplained weight fluctuations, cravings, or feeling unlike yourself? Hormone imbalance, disrupted cortisol patterns, and metabolic health changes can often contribute to symptoms that affect everyday wellbeing and overall health.
The test is an advanced at-home health profile designed to provide a deeper understanding of hormone balance, daily stress response, blood sugar regulation, inflammation, and cardiometabolic health.
Suitable for women, men, adults, and children, this comprehensive profile combines 4-point cortisol rhythm assessment, LCMS hormone testing, Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) analysis, and CardioMetabolic health markers to provide a broader picture of your hormonal and metabolic wellbeing.
This profile may be particularly useful for individuals experiencing:
- Fatigue and low energy
- Ongoing stress symptoms
- Poor sleep quality
- Weight gain or weight fluctuations
- Sugar cravings
- Mood changes
- Low motivation
- Poor recovery
- Stress-related symptoms
- Hormonal concerns
