FEATURING ZRT LABORATORY TESTING!

Reliable, Accurate, Easy-to-Use

TEST WITH CONFIDENCE

 When you're chronically stressed it shows up in your adrenal hormones, most often as high cortisol and low DHEA. When your adrenals get tired, cortisol levels will fluctuate abonormally, and this can show up in a saliva test or blood spot test taken in the morning and at night. Tired adrenals can cause many symptoms, including fatigue, poor sleep and weight gain. Chronic excessive stress can contribute to heart disease, diabetes and breast cancer. Low DHEA can be a marker of aging and a cause of foggy thinking and low energy.

The most complete stress test from those offered below is a combination of Diurnal Cortisol and DHEAS.

NY State residents:
