This Cortisol test is a simple, non-invasive saliva test that helps measure how your body responds to stress and can reveal imbalances in your adrenal glands. These glands, located on top of your kidneys, play a key role in how your body handles stress. Over time, the constant pressure from daily life—whether it’s physical, emotional, or mental—can wear down the adrenal glands, leading to a condition known as adrenal fatigue.
​
Your adrenal glands are part of your body’s hormonal system and are made up of two parts: the outer cortex and the inner medulla. When the adrenal glands get overworked, it can lead to common issues like tiredness, mood swings, and difficulty coping with stress.
​
One of the best ways to check how your adrenal glands are functioning is through a salivary cortisol test. This test measures cortisol, the main stress hormone, at four points during the day (8 AM, 12 PM, 4 PM, and 8 PM) by testing saliva samples. It’s especially helpful for people who feel tired all the time or experience stress-related symptoms like anxiety, depression, or weight gain.
​
This test can give you important insights into what might be causing your fatigue and help guide your treatment to improve your energy levels and overall well-being.
