Cortisol is a steroid hormone produced in your adrenal glands. It can affect your body in a number of ways, including how your body responds to stress. When balanced, your cortisol levels will fluctuate throughout the day, starting higher in the morning, and getting lower in the evening. If your cortisol levels are too low in the morning or too high in the evening, it can have a negative impact on everything from your energy levels to your immune health. Looking at your cortisol levels at just one point during the day will not provide the full picture, which is why we've created a simple but comprehensive test that looks at your levels throughout the day.
Chronic stress can often be linked to most health concerns we see every day, from digestive issues and weight gain to hormone imbalances and low energy. Additionally, these symptoms can make it harder to make the lifestyle changes needed in order to achieve optimum health and wellbeing.
Testing for Cortisol is an excellent idea for both men and women of all ages. The results can help you rebalance at the root cause in order to boost your sleep better, improve your mood and help digestion. Once you have your results you'll gain insight into your body's stress response, helping you course correct to feel better.
