Chronic stress, whether it is emotional or physical, can lead to an imbalance of adrenal hormone levels which have been related to various health issues such as infertility and anxiety. An Adrenal stress profile saliva test determines the bioavailability of the adrenal hormones: Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEA-S) and Diurnal Cortisol. Saliva testing is ideal for testing that requires multiple collections, such as the Diurnal Cortisol. An imbalance of these hormones will show symptoms like fatigue, immune dysfunction, sleep disorders, and allergies. If you identify as someone who is under constant stress, you may consider getting an adrenal stress profile saliva test.
