Cortisol, a hormone produced in response to stress, usually peaks in the morning and declines by night. By analyzing your saliva at various times throughout the day, this panel determines if your cortisol levels align with this natural cycle. The results can reveal if your body's stress response is well-tuned or needs adjustment, helping explain symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, or sleep disturbances. Armed with these insights, you and your healthcare provider can devise a personalized plan to manage stress and enhance overall health effectively.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eHow it differs from a serum (blood) cortisol test:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eThe saliva cortisol test offers several advantages over serum (blood) cortisol tests when it comes to evaluating overall stress.
