Adrenal Function Testing with Faizana: Understand and Support Your Stress Response

At our clinic, we offer Adrenal Function Testing, guided by our expert naturopath, Faizana. With years of experience in hormonal and holistic health, Faizana uses advanced diagnostic tools to assess the health of your adrenal glands, which play a crucial role in your body’s response to stress and overall energy levels. By understanding your adrenal function, Faizana can help you develop a personalized plan to support your well-being and optimize your body’s natural balance.

What is Adrenal Function Testing?

The Adrenal Function Test measures the levels of cortisol, DHEA, and other hormones produced by your adrenal glands, which are located above your kidneys. These glands are responsible for releasing hormones like cortisol, your body’s primary stress hormone, and DHEA, which helps regulate stress and supports energy production.

This test is typically conducted through a saliva or blood sample taken throughout the day to assess your body’s natural cortisol rhythm and determine how well your adrenal glands are functioning under stress. It helps identify potential imbalances, such as adrenal fatigue, which can occur when your adrenal glands are overworked from prolonged stress.

Why You Might Need This Test

The adrenal glands play a vital role in managing your body’s response to stress. If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, Adrenal Function Testing could help uncover the underlying causes:

• Chronic fatigue or feeling wired but tired
• Trouble sleeping or disturbed sleep patterns
• Increased stress levels or difficulty handling stress
• Mood swings or irritability
• Decreased libido or low energy
• Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
• Frequent illness or a weakened immune system

Over time, prolonged stress or poor adrenal function can lead to adrenal fatigue or HPA axis dysfunction, where the adrenal glands are unable to produce sufficient amounts of hormones, leaving you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and unable to manage stress effectively.
