Stress Blood Test

Service Description

Introducing our Stress Blood Test, designed to assess your body's response to stress by measuring two key biomarkers: Cortisol and DHEA-S. What are these biomarkers? Cortisol: Often referred to as the "stress hormone," cortisol is produced by the adrenal glands and plays a vital role in regulating metabolism, inflammation and the body's response to stress. DHEA-S (Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate): This hormone serves as a precursor to sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone. It is involved in the development of secondary sexual characteristics and is essential for overall hormonal balance. Why test for these stress biomarkers? Chronic stress can disrupt the delicate balance between cortisol and DHEA-S, potentially leading to health issues such as fatigue, weakened immune function and mood disorders. By evaluating the levels of these hormones, our Stress Blood Test provides insights into your adrenal function and overall stress response, enabling you to take proactive steps toward better health. Results: Most results are available within 24-48 hours. PLEASE NOTE: You are NOT required to fast for the Stress Blood Test. Make sure to come well hydrated as it's better for blood draws.
