Cortisol Stress Panel
A non-invasive saliva test that measures the stress hormone cortisol, showing how your body responds to and recovers from daily stress.
Cortisol is your body’s main stress hormone, linking stress to metabolism, immunity, cardiovascular function, and brain health. This test measures cortisol at five points throughout the day to assess your body’s stress response and recovery. Patterns like exaggerated morning peaks, sustained midday elevation, or evening rebounds can indicate chronic stress, poor sleep, or circadian disruption. These insights help you understand your stress profile and build mental resilience for long-term well-being.
- Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR): Reflects the rise in cortisol levels within the first hour of waking that helps activate alertness and energy for the day.
- Mid-Morning Decline: Reflects the natural reduction in cortisol after the morning peak that allows the body to settle into steady focus and productivity.
- Afternoon Recovery: Reflects a gentle stabilisation or rise in cortisol that helps maintain energy and mental resilience later in the day.
- Evening Rhythm: Reflects the gradual lowering of cortisol in the evening that supports relaxation and prepares the body for sleep.
- Overall Curve: Reflects the overall daily cortisol pattern and classifies common responses such as hyper-reactive, blunted, rebound, chronic stress, or burnout.
This panel is ideal for understanding how your cortisol levels rise and fall through the day and may be affecting your energy, sleep, mood, and ability to cope with daily stress.
