    Anxiety / Fatigue / Depression





    Posted: July 5, 2013
    Stress, anxiety, fatigue, sleeplessness….Health First offer Stress, Fatigue and Sleep Profile tests. These check for the bio-available hormones present in your body, providing information about which stage of adrenal exhaustion you may be in. Adrenal function is a key marker of how stressed or not stress you are.Normal levels of Cortisol that slowly drop over the day are considered normal and healthy. Elevated or low levels of Cortisol indicated adrenal dysfunction and may be an early indicator into declining health or a conformation to the cause of certain health conditions.

    DHEA levels decline as we get older and generally correlates with a decline in cell mediated immunity and increased incidences of malignancies. Low DHEA to Cortisol ratios are frequently seen in people with depression, anorexia and panic disorders. Decreased DHEA levels may also be seen in many thyroid disorders, cardiovascular disease, obesity, rheumatic disease and reduced immunity. Low levels also indicate a lowered capacity to endure stress, trauma, and injury.
