When the body is unable to keep up with life’s chronic stressors, imbalances in the hormones, cortisol and DHEA, can result and lead to adrenal fatigue. It is estimated that up to 80% of adult Americans suffer from some level of adrenal fatigue, yet it remains one of the most under-diagnosed conditions in the U.S.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChronic stress can negatively impact energy levels, emotional well-being, sleep, hormone balance, weight management, and many other health conditions. This saliva test can help to uncover biochemical imbalances and provide direction for nutrition and lifestyle support. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis noninvasive saliva test measures cortisol and DHEA, which are produced by the adrenal glands in response to stress. These hormones influence metabolism, inflammation, thyroid function and can affect energy levels, and resistance to disease. Too much or too little of cortisol or DHEA can negatively impact health. If you are experiencing symptoms, such as morning or afternoon fatigue, poor concentration, feeling \"tired but wired,\" sleep disturbances, increased cravings, or susceptibility to illnesses, this test may be helpful for you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Adrenal Stress Analysis Includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCortisol x4\u003c\/strong\u003e - steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands in response to stress; saliva cortisol testing is preferred over serum cortisol testing because of its reliability and non-invasiveness.  \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCortisol production is normally at its highest 30 minutes after waking and declines steadily during the day, reaching its lowest point at bedtime. \u003c\/span\u003eBecause levels of cortisol rise and fall in a daily pattern, four samples are collected throughout the day to allow for circadian rhythm assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDHEA - \u003c\/strong\u003e​Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex; DHEA is also an important precursor to sex hormones.
