Adrenocortex Stress Profile with Cortisol Awakening Response
The adrenocortex is the connection between the brain and the adrenal gland. This connection, also known as the adrenal axis, is often permanently disrupted by long-term stress, especially unhealthy dysstress. This has a significant impact on hormone balance and, consequently, on several metabolic processes. Liver metabolism in particular, and therefore sugar and carbohydrate metabolism, is significantly affected. Metabolic disorders of this kind often lead to obesity and, in the long term, possibly to type II and III diabetes. Type III has a considerable impact on cognitive abilities. This saliva test provides a 24-hour profile of the hormones influenced by the andreal cortex.
