Stress and cortisol patterns can be relevant to a wide range of health concerns, particularly when symptoms are persistent or difficult to connect to a clear cause. Cortisol testing may be considered for individuals experiencing chronic stress, fatigue or low energy, difficulty falling or staying asleep, waking during the night, afternoon energy crashes, feeling wired but tired, changes in mood, or difficulty adapting to physical or emotional stress. It may also be considered when sleep, energy, menstrual cycles, or other aspects of hormonal health appear to be affected by changes in stress physiology.

DUTCH Adrenal is a urine-based hormone test that evaluates cortisol and cortisone patterns throughout the day, providing information about your daily cortisol rhythm and adrenal hormone function. The test measures multiple urine samples collected at different times of day to show how cortisol changes from morning through evening. Results can be reviewed alongside your symptoms, sleep patterns, health history, and other laboratory testing to better understand individual cortisol patterns and guide personalized functional medicine care.
