Adrenal Stress Profile (Cortisol x 4; DHEA-S)

Description-- Stress-related concerns: Ongoing psychological or physiological stress exposure. Energy regulation: Persistent fatigue or reduced stamina. Mood changes: Low mood, emotional variability or reduced resilience. Sleep disturbance: Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep or feeling unrefreshed. Cognitive symptoms: Brain fog, reduced concentration or mental fatigue. Hormonal balance: Concerns relating to adrenal hormone output. Immune resilience: Frequent illness or prolonged recovery. Metabolic regulation: Blood sugar instability or altered energy throughout the day. Label-- The Adrenal Stress Profile (Cortisol x 4; DHEA-S) assesses salivary cortisol at four points across the day alongside a single measurement of DHEA-S. This approach captures the diurnal rhythm of cortisol as well as overall adrenal androgen output using non-invasive saliva sampling. Mapping cortisol at waking, late morning, afternoon and night allows practitioners to observe daily hormone patterns rather than relying on a single time-point measurement. Including DHEA-S provides additional context around longer-term adrenal hormone production alongside short-term cortisol variation. Practitioners typically interpret results alongside symptom history, sleep patterns, stress exposure, lifestyle factors and other laboratory findings. Attention is given to timing, daily routine and recent stressors when reviewing patterns with clients. Dosage-- Specimen Sample type : Saliva Research-- -
