Cortisol, often referred to as the "stress hormone," plays a vital role in managing various bodily functions, including metabolism, immune response, and stress regulation. Monitoring cortisol levels is essential for understanding and addressing health issues related to stress and adrenal function.
Unlike blood tests, which provide a single snapshot of cortisol levels, salivary cortisol testing allows for multiple samples throughout the day. This method captures the natural fluctuations of cortisol, offering a more accurate representation of adrenal function.
Collecting saliva samples is simple, painless, and can be done at home, making it a convenient option for patients. Imbalances in cortisol levels can indicate adrenal fatigue, chronic stress, or adrenal insufficiency. Salivary cortisol testing helps in diagnosing these conditions and guiding appropriate treatment.
By understanding cortisol patterns, healthcare providers can develop personalized strategies to manage stress, improve sleep, and enhance overall well-being.
The lab report includes graphs and detailed data on cortisol levels at each collection point. This information is crucial for identifying patterns and abnormalities.
Our provider will review the report in the context of your symptoms, medical history, and overall health. This thorough analysis helps in diagnosing conditions related to adrenal dysfunction and stress.
Here at NES™, we are committed to helping you achieve optimal health through accurate diagnosis and personalized care. If you experience symptoms of adrenal fatigue, chronic stress, or related issues, consider scheduling a Salivary Cortisol Test.
