If you're alive today, you're dealing with stress — an inevitable part of modern life. It impacts every cell of our bodies, our libido, our hormones, our energy, and our sleep. Understanding, your hormone balance is key to achieving vitality during all seasons of life. The Adrenals, Hormones & Stress Test offers a complete picture of your hormone health to help you understand how you look, feel, recover, sleep, perform, think, and even interact with yourself and others with a simple at-home lab test.
By understanding your sex hormone levels and adrenals, you can:
Please note:
If you're feeling drained, struggling with mood swings, or noticing changes in libido and sleep—high stress levels and hormone imbalances could be the culprits. Stress affects everything—from your energy and mood to your hormonal health, which is why understanding how your adrenals and sex hormones are functioning is key to taking control of your well-being. With the Adrenals, Hormones & Stress Test, you'll gain valuable insights into how stress is impacting your cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA levels. These hormones play critical roles in how you feel, recover, and perform daily.
Adrenals, Hormones & Stress Test provides valuable insights into your body's hormonal health, stress levels, and adrenal function. The specific biomarkers measured in this test help assess how stress is impacting your energy, mood, sleep, and overall vitality. Understanding your hormone balance, including cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, can help you identify imbalances and support your health during times of stress or major life changes.
Assess your hormone balance, including stress-related changes
Estradiol (E2): The main form of estrogen, critical for regulating reproductive function, mood, and bone health.
Progesterone: A hormone that stimulates and regulates important functions including preparing the body for conception and maintaining pregnancy, regulating menstrual cycles and more.
Testosterone: Testosterone is not just important for men! It's also produced in a woman's ovaries, and combined with estrogen, testosterone helps to repair reproductive tissues, support healthy bone mass, and much more.
DHEA: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone naturally produced in the adrenal glands. DHEA is a precursor to other hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. Natural DHEA levels peak in early adulthood and slowly fall as you age.
Cortisol: Known as the body's "stress hormone." If stress levels are high on an ongoing basis, progesterone levels may decrease, disrupting the balance of estrogen and progesterone. Additionally, cortisol can inhibit the secretion of TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), leading to partial suppression of Thyroxine, the main hormone produced by the thyroid gland. This test looks at cortisol levels 4 times throughout the day to get a clear picture of trends.
Estradiol E2/Progesterone Ratio: As women age, they can produce the same level of estrogen, while progesterone production drops, leading to"estrogen dominance." This test measures the ratio of estrogen to progesterone, a key marker of estrogen dominance.
Evaluate how your adrenal health is affecting stress resilience and overall wellbeing
Cortisol Levels (throughout the day): Cortisol is measured at four points during the day (morning, midday, evening, night) to provide a comprehensive picture of adrenal function and stress response patterns
DHEA: Also included as part of adrenal function assessment, as it is produced by the adrenal glands and plays a role in managing stress and hormone balance
