Frequently asked questions about this test

Although hormone levels are highly variable, a quarterly assessment may be the best way to see if lifestyle changes have had an effect on these markers.

Cortisol is considered a stress hormone because its functions include raising blood sugar levels to give our cells extra energy in times of stress or illness and to fight inflammation. Therefore, cortisol can be chronically elevated mainly due to:

  • Chronic exposure to physical or emotional stress.
  • Extreme fasting and not consuming enough carbohydrates for long periods of time.
  • Suffering from chronic low-grade inflammation (arising from food intolerances, viruses and infections, bacterial overgrowth, etc.).
  • Prolonged use of steroid treatment.

Cortisol concentrations vary biologically throughout the day in a circadian, i.e. daily, pattern. Cortisol levels are highest in the morning around 08:00 and decrease to their lowest levels in the evening around 23:00. In the early morning, around 03:00-04:00, they increase again and the cycle repeats itself.

It must be done on an empty stomach (8 hours, you can drink water), it must be done first thing in the morning and it is recommended to have had a good night's rest or at least one day with the usual routine.    

Cortisol is a hormone formed in the adrenal glands that helps the body get extra energy to cope with times of stress or when glucose levels are low by breaking down tissues through a process known as catabolism. While it can be useful for short periods of time, maintaining chronically high cortisol levels can trigger a number of consequences that negatively affect your health. The main ones include:

  • Weakening of the immune system
  • Sleep disorders
  • Thyroid function disorders
  • Anxiety and depression
  • Poorer recovery after physical exercise
  • Imbalances in the menstrual cycle
  • Other imbalances: weight gain, increased blood pressure and excess blood glucose.
