Stress Panel Stress affects both body and mind, and understanding how your body responds can help you take control of your well-being. Our Stress Panel measures Cortisol, the primary stress hormone, providing insight into how well your body manages stress, energy levels, and overall resilience. Why Check Your Cortisol Levels? You feel constantly fatigued, drained, or "burnt out" You're experiencing unexplained weight changes You have trouble sleeping, or wake up feeling unrefreshed You’re dealing with persistent stress or anxiety What Cortisol Levels Can Indicate: High Cortisol Levels – May be linked to chronic stress, anxiety, sleep disturbances, or adrenal conditions, and can contribute to weight gain, high blood pressure, and low energy. Low Cortisol Levels – Can be a sign of adrenal fatigue, burnout, or certain medical conditions, leading to ongoing exhaustion, low blood pressure, and difficulty handling stress. Since cortisol follows a daily rhythm, imbalances can affect sleep, metabolism, immune function, and mood. This test provides valuable insight into how stress may be impacting your body, helping you make informed lifestyle and health choices.
