Many Endocrine related problems may be the result of stress. Simply put, stress is the sum total of all mental and physical input over a given period of time. The main markers used to measure stress are the adrenal steroid hormones, cortisol and DHEA-Sulfate. Stress, whether physical or emotional in origin, provokes a survival response by the adrenal glands. When the adrenal glands become exhausted due to overwork, adequate levels of the stress hormones DHEA-s and cortisol cannot be produced.

DHEA-s and cortisol are considered the major shock absorber hormones in the body. They buffer us to stress and the negative impact it can have on both mental and physical function. Long-term stress can have a serious impact on the adrenal glands and cause them to shrink and reduce production (Adrenal Dysfunction). This sets off a chain reaction that can influence the digestive, circulatory, respiratory, and nervous systems, along with many other functions of the body.

The Big Advantages of Saliva Sample Tests

Saliva testing is a convenient, inexpensive, and above all, accurate means of testing steroid hormones. Scientific studies have shown a strong correlation between steroid hormone levels in saliva and the amount of hormone in the blood that is bioavailable (available for the body to use) and active in the tissue. It is this fraction of total hormone that is free to enter the target tissues in the brain, uterus, skin, and breasts.

Saliva testing can be done anywhere anytime. Testing that relies on having blood drawn makes it harder to obtain samples at specific times (such as in the early morning) or multiple times during the day. In addition, hormones in saliva are exceptionally stable and can be stored at room temperature for up to a week without affecting the accuracy of the result.
