Thorne Research Stress Test

Thorne Research - Stress Test Kit

The adrenal glands help us handle stress. This at-home saliva test provides insights about your stress response and adrenal health by measuring hormone fluctuations. Results include a personalized health plan.

You should take this test if you:

• Feel tired but wired
• Can't wake up without strong coffee
• Crave sugar, especially late in the day
• Get sick when you are under stress
• Feel irritable, anxious, or depressed
• Experience stress often

Potential Symptoms
Your cortisol fluctuation pattern and your DHEA levels determine whether you have a healthy stress response profile. Depending on your results, you may experience some of the following symptoms:

• Common effects of stress on your body include:
  Headache, muscle tension or pain, chest pain, fatigue, change in sex drive, upset stomach and sleep problems.
• Common effects of stress on your mood include:
  Anxiety, restlessness, lack of motivation or focus, feeling overwhelmed, irritability or anger and sadness or depression.
• Common effects of stress on your behavior include:
  Overeating or undereating, angry outbursts, drug or alcohol abuse, tobacco use, social withdrawal and exercising less often.

What It Measures

• Cortisol (Saliva)
  Cortisol is the primary stress hormone excreted by the adrenal glands. Cortisol moderates the body's daily and long-term responses to stress. A healthy cortisol level better regulates energy, mood, focus, and immune response.
• DHEA (Saliva)
  Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is the other major hormone excreted by the adrenal glands. DHEA helps to balance cortisol, especially when cortisol's level gets too high. DHEA is also a precursor to reproductive hormones like estrogen and testosterone.
