Salivary cortisol profile test

Determine your ability to withstand stress

This test allows defining your production of the stress hormone Cortisol, which repairs the wounds created by an episode of stress.

Stress at work, lack of recognition, fear of not being loved, ecological or health anxiety,... These are all examples of repeated stress episodes that can disrupt your body's production of Cortisol.


If stress persists, the receptors in the central nervous system become less sensitive to cortisol, whose production increases until it collapses. This results in a depletion of your energy resources and a collapse of your physical, psychological and immune defences.


Measuring the 5-step salivary cortisol cycle helps to identify hyperactivity or exhaustion of your adrenal gland.



What does the test include?
  • Home-delivered sample collection kit

  • Analysis of your samples by our functional biology medical laboratory

  • Receipt of your test results and their comprehensible explanations

  • Recommendations for diet and supplementation, together with a personalised programme based on your analysis results.

Cortisol and adrenalin

When you are faced with a threat, your body, more precisely your adrenal gland, known as the "stress gland", will produce 2 hormones:

  1. Adrenalin, which puts your body in a state of alertness and increases your reaction capabilities. It prepares your body for combat.

  2. Cortisol, which has an initial anti-inflammatory function, repairs the wounds created by this state of arousal.

FAQ

What's the difference with a health check?

The tests offered are not those required as part of a basic check-up. The aim of these basic tests is to rule out an illness (such as an infection, a generalized infection, hepatitis, a virus, anaemia, etc.) and not to assess any malfunctions in the body that may be the cause of chronic symptoms.

Why haven't these analyses been offered to you yet?

These tests help to identify the causes of chronic discomfort rather than acute illness. Doctors recommend general health check-ups to detect acute or sub-acute illnesses. In the case of chronic discomforts, these check-ups generally offer no solutions;


The use of these analyses requires specific knowledge of functional biology. They are therefore generally recommended by doctors with training in the field - which is not yet the case for all referring doctors.

What is chronic discomfort?

Chronic discomfort is characterised by a number of factors: 

  • The cause cannot be detected in a general health check-up and there is no precise drug treatment

  • They disrupt our quality of life considerably

  • We don't die from them

  • The treatments tried have not been effective
