    • For some dieters, underlying adrenal dysfunction may contribute to weight challenges. In her book Thyroid Diet Revolution, thyroid patient advocate and author Mary Shomon recommends an adrenal stress profile as a potential additional area for investigation.

    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 Adrenal Stress Profile is offered through our partnership with Sabre Sciences Lab. It is designed to provide an evaluation of the stress hormones: Cortisol and DHEA-Sulfate. The test includes - Six saliva samples collected in the privacy of your own home over 24 hours (8AM, 12PM, 4PM, 8PM, 12AM, and 4AM).

    The profile includes Nine evaluations:

    6 x Cortisol - Helps evaluate stress response.
    3 x DHEA-s - Helps determine stress adaptation.

    About Your Test Results

    Your first test results will be assembled into a single record or "starting point" that establishes a reference going forward. Once you have more than one result for each value, they're automatically graphed together inside your private health record. So the more tests the baseline includes, the more valuable it becomes to future tests.

    When your results are complete, you will have an option to purchase a one-on-one conversation with Mary Shomon to: ask questions, identify risk factors and help create a plan to move forward with your own personal physician. This unique way to privately share information is revolutionizing the way we learn about our health.

    You will also receive an invitation to log into the private Facebook group and join the exclusive discussion with other record holders. (Access to this group is only available to those who have created their own health record.) The sooner you complete your tests, the sooner you'll be learning from the group that includes some of the best experts in the world.

    An Important Note About Your Experience

    MYMEDLAB TESTS, SUPPORT GROUPS, OR EXPERT REVIEWS ARE NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR THE SERVICES OF A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN.

Our platform serves as a virtual health concierge that helps experts share their knowledge with the most people. These private conversations, based on the health information contained in your record, create a simple and convenient way to prepare for your next doctor's visit.

    While they CANNOT provide a diagnosis or recommend ANY specific treatment from a single lab report, they may identify results that require a follow up with your personal physician. You will have the opportunity to invite your trusted health providers to participate in these private health conversation. We make it simple to securely fax individual results to your doctor from inside your record, if you choose to make results part of your permanent medical record with them.

Your answers are combined with your lab results to provide the expert with the most accurate picture of your current health. The more specific you can be, the better quality service they can provide.

    This information is not sold, shared or used for ANY PURPOSE other than giving the expert the best information to help you. Once the conversation is complete, you have the option of un-checking any answer in your My History tab, which then deletes this information from your record.
