Cortisol testing helps evaluate how the body responds to stress by measuring daily hormone patterns linked to energy, sleep, mood, and immune balance. Through saliva and blood spot methods, clinicians can identify adrenal and HPA-axis imbalances early, enabling more personalized strategies to address fatigue, burnout, and stress-related health concerns.

The ZRT Laboratory CardioMetabolic Profile is a convenient finger-prick blood test designed to detect early warning signs of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. By measuring key markers such as insulin, cholesterol, triglycerides, HbA1c, and inflammation, it provides a comprehensive view of heart and metabolic health, supporting early intervention and personalized preventive care.

CVD remains the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. Alarmingly, obesity and insulin resistance—precursors to DM2—significantly increase the risk of developing CVD. Yet, these conditions are largely preventable with early detection and lifestyle changes. So, how can we spot the danger before it's too late? What is CardioMetabolic Risk? Cardiometabolic risk refers to a cluster of modifiable risk factors...
