Stress Profile

Adrenocortex Stress Profile is a powerful and precise noninvasive salivary test that evaluates levels of the body’s important stress hormones, cortisol and DHEA. This profile serves as a critical tool for uncovering the imbalances underlying anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, obesity, dysglycemia, and a host of other clinical conditions.

The adrenal hormones cortisol and DHEA function to influence:
• Metabolism                                 
• Thyroid function
• Inflammation                               
• Resistance to stress

Over time, cortisol secretion can become impaired, resulting in an inability to respond to stress as demonstrated in conditions such as:
• Chronic fatigue                          • Menstrual problems
• Allergies                                     • Arthritis

Imbalances of DHEA have been associated with:
• Impaired immunity            • Cancer
• Depression                       • Panic disorder
• Insulin resistance              • Obesity
• Alzheimers disease         • Cardiovascular disease 

DHEA, in contrast to cortisol, exerts mostly anabolic actions and balances the body’s stress response. DHEA functions to:
• Provide substrate for the synthesis of sex hormones
• Guard against degenerative conditions associated with aging
• Influence immune function and energy production
• Affect insulin sensitivity, thyroid function, protein synthesis and others.

Although both DHEA and cortisol are produced by the adrenal cortex, they exhibit many opposing actions.
Many of cortisol's physiological actions are geared toward the mobilization of reserves. Cortisol is released in large amounts in response to physical, physiological, and/or psychological stress.When stressors persist, the secretion of glucocorticoids can be prolonged, leading to adrenal fatigue and eventually adrenal exhaustion.

Excess cortisol can adversely affect:
• Osteoporosis            • Hypothyroidism
• Muscle Wasting         • Weight control          
• Insomnia                     • Pre-Diabetic            
• Immune Weakness    • Pre-Mature Aging
