A stress hormone test evaluates your cortisol levels to determine how your body responds to stress. This insight can guide lifestyle changes or medical interventions.
Cortisol is a hormone produced by your adrenal glands that plays a key role in regulating stress, metabolism, immune response, and blood pressure. Testing cortisol levels helps identify imbalances that could lead to conditions like chronic stress, adrenal fatigue, Cushing’s syndrome, or Addison’s disease.
If you’re experiencing symptoms such as persistent fatigue, weight gain or loss, insomnia, mood swings, high blood pressure, or frequent illness, a cortisol test can help determine whether hormonal imbalances are contributing to these issues.
Both tests are effective but serve different purposes. A cortisol blood test measures total cortisol levels at a specific moment, while a cortisol saliva test provides insights into cortisol fluctuations throughout the day (e.g., morning vs. evening). Your doctor or our team can recommend which option suits your needs best.
Results typically take 1 – 3 business days after sample collection. You’ll receive a detailed report via email or through our secure online portal.
For a cortisol blood test , fasting isn’t usually required unless instructed otherwise by your healthcare provider. However, for saliva tests, avoid eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth for at least 30 minutes before collecting your sample to ensure accuracy.
Yes, certain medications like steroids, birth control pills, or hormone replacement therapies can influence cortisol levels. Be sure to inform us about any medications you’re taking so we can interpret your results accurately.
Absolutely. Cortisol tests are safe for people of all ages, including children. However, special considerations may apply depending on age and health condition, so consult with a pediatrician or our experts before proceeding.
