Adrenal Stress Profile
Adrenal Stress Profile
Daily hassles, chronic pain, blood sugar dysregulation, work stressors, and poor relationship quality can alter the body’s ability to effectively manage stress. When the body is unable to keep up with life’s chronic stressors, imbalances in the hormones, cortisol and DHEA, can result and lead to adrenal fatigue. It is estimated that up to 80% of adult Americans suffer from some level of adrenal fatigue, yet it remains one of the most under-diagnosed conditions in the U.S.
Chronic stress can negatively impact energy levels, emotional well-being, sleep, hormone balance, weight management, and many other health conditions. This saliva test can help to uncover biochemical imbalances and provide direction for nutrition and lifestyle support.
This noninvasive saliva test measures cortisol and DHEA, which are produced by the adrenal glands in response to stress. These hormones influence metabolism, inflammation, thyroid function and can affect energy levels, and resistance to disease. Too much or too little of cortisol or DHEA can negatively impact health. If you are experiencing symptoms, such as morning or afternoon fatigue, poor concentration, feeling "tired but wired," sleep disturbances, increased cravings, or susceptibility to illnesses, this test may be helpful for you.
The Adrenal Stress Analysis Includes:
Cortisol x4 - steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands in response to stress; saliva cortisol testing is preferred over serum cortisol testing because of its reliability and non-invasiveness. Cortisol production is normally at its highest 30 minutes after waking and declines steadily during the day, reaching its lowest point at bedtime. Because levels of cortisol rise and fall in a daily pattern, four samples are collected throughout the day to allow for circadian rhythm assessment.
DHEA - Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex; DHEA is also an important precursor to sex hormones. It is measured once in the 7:00 – 9:00 AM sample.
DHEA:Cortisol Ratio – The ratio of DHEA to cortisol is calculated to provide further insight into your body’s metabolic balance and “wear-and-tear.”

healthy relief
Helps a lot with jetlag. I start taking drops as soon as I get on the plane, on my way to my destination. Same thing on the way back. Thanks to this sometimes I have zero jetlag whatsoever.
WellMind Vertigo
INIKA Organic Bakuchiol Serum Natural Retinol Alternative
Histamine Nutrients makes eating, drinking and overall histamine levels go way down for me. I have an overload for whatever reason and this is the only product besides iodine that seems to work. It’s definitely been a life changing product for me. I highly recommend Dr Ben’s supplements.
I have been using blood sugar support for five years and found it really helpful and keeping my A1c steady unfortunately I was very disappointed to find they discontinued it, but this is a reasonable replacement
I have used this product before, and after a six-month pause, I'm using it again. The results are excellent; in fact, a friend asked if I had "work done." Facial lines are softer and skin is plumper. I'm seventy-three years old.
I need no sugar gummies.
I am diabetic.
Doesn’t take away the knee pain completely, but makes it easier to live with.
Peppermint Oil
