Description:

This comprehensive test evaluates adrenal gland function by measuring salivary cortisol levels throughout the day, including the critical Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR)—the natural spike in cortisol that occurs shortly after waking. By analyzing this diurnal pattern, the test provides a detailed look at how your body responds to daily stress and maintains balance over time.

Applications:

This assessment is ideal for individuals experiencing signs of chronic stress, fatigue, burnout, poor sleep, or difficulty waking in the morning. It’s also highly beneficial for those navigating hormonal imbalances, mood changes, or energy fluctuations that may be linked to adrenal dysregulation.

Benefits:

With precise, actionable insights into adrenal function and circadian cortisol rhythm, this test empowers you and your provider to identify dysfunction early and intervene strategically. Whether your body is producing too much or too little cortisol—or peaking at the wrong times—the results guide personalized stress management plans, including lifestyle changes, adaptogenic support, and nutritional strategies.

Understanding your stress response at a biological level is the first step to reclaiming energy, restoring sleep, and building long-term resilience.
