Genova Adrenocortex Stress Profile (DBS)
The stress of caregiving, and other lifestyle factors can alter the HPA axis causing imbalances in adrenal (stress) hormone. Genova's Adrenocortex Stress Profile (DBS)testing examines two adrenal hormones, Cortisol and DHEA to reveal these HPA axis imbalances and provide direction for clinical intervention.
Cortisol Testing is Especially Ideal for People with these Concerns:
- Hypertension
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Gastrointestinal & Immune Dysregulation
- Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome
- Depression
- Chronic Fatigue
- Persistent Pain
- Neurodegenerative Disease & Cognitive Decline
How Does it Work?
Four salivary samples measured throughout the day give insight into the natural circadian diurnal cortisol rhythm, and help clinicians address specific daily stressors. DHEA is measured once in the 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM sample and a ratio of DHEA to cortisol is calculated to provide insight into anabolic/catabolic balance.
