Stress – Cortisol (9am)
Curious if your cortisol levels could be affecting how you feel? Cortisol is your body’s main stress hormone, and when it's out of balance, it can lead to issues like fatigue, anxiety, sleep problems, or weight changes. Our 9am Cortisol Test is often the first step in assessing adrenal function - a common recommendation when symptoms suggest your stress response system may not be working properly. While abnormal levels are often linked to chronic stress, they can occasionally point to rarer conditions like Addison’s disease or Cushing’s syndrome. This test can help you get clarity and start understanding what’s going on behind the symptoms.

What's in the test
What we measure:
- Cortisol - Cortisol is a key hormone released by your adrenal glands, often referred to as your body’s “stress hormone.” While it’s well known for helping you respond to stress, cortisol also plays a crucial role in keeping your body functioning day to day - from managing blood pressure and blood sugar levels to supporting your immune system. Balanced cortisol levels are essential for energy, resilience, and overall wellbeing. When levels are too high or too low, it can impact everything from mood and metabolism to sleep and immunity.
