Cortisol and stress testing can help provide insight into how your body is responding to stress and how this may be impacting energy, mood, sleep, and overall health.

​

Depending on your clinical picture, testing may include conventional bloodwork and, where appropriate, functional assessments to better understand daily cortisol patterns and stress response.

​

Approach

Testing is recommended based on your individual history and symptoms. This may include bloodwork to assess baseline cortisol levels, as well as functional testing (such as salivary or urine-based assessments, including DUTCH testing) to evaluate cortisol patterns throughout the day.

​

Results are interpreted in context to help identify patterns related to stress response, nervous system regulation, and overall physiological balance.
