Saliva Hormone Testing

Women and men of any age can be affected by hormonal issues.

Stress

Stress testing (Adrenal Panel)

Stress is unavoidable, which makes stress management important for maintaining health.

Everyone experiences stress at times, but how well we cope with stress depends on a number of factors, one of which is hormone balance. The body’s experience of stress is carefully mapped out by a series of hormone responses.

Since cortisol is the major stress hormone produced by the adrenal glands, measurement of cortisol levels may be a useful means of assessing ability to cope with stress.
