This test kit measures your cortisol level
Cortisol is a steroid hormone that regulates a wide range of processes throughout the body, including metabolism and the immune response. It is the human body’s main stress hormone like nature’s built-in alarm system. It co-functions with parts of the brain to control one’s mood, motivation, and fear.
Adrenal glands located above kidneys produce cortisol which plays an important role in a lot of body functions including:
- Managing body use of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins
- Keeping inflammation low
- Regulating blood pressure
- Controlling sleep cycle
- Boosting energy to handle stress and restore balance
When the body is under constant stress, the cortisol levels in the body increases.
Stress is usually the catalyst for many diseases. Many people often overestimate how much they can tolerate stress.
High cortisol levels increase the risks of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, osteoporosis and psychiatric disorders. If your body makes too much cortisol, it can cause Cushing syndrome, rapid weight gain, bruises, muscle weakness, and diabetes. Excess cortisol is created by a nodule in the adrenal gland or due to brain tumor.
On the other hand, low levels of cortisol may cause you to experience fatigue, abnormal weight loss and mood changes.
Therefore, it is crucial to maintain cortisol levels at a moderate level in our body. If your body makes too less cortisol, it can cause Addison’s disease.
Therefore, it is mandatory to monitor your cortisol levels frequently in order to refrain from either of the two cases. We believe that frequent stress testing can help to provide the quantification and give the individuals evidence to prompt for immediate reaction.
