We turn complex lab results into meaningful insights and action plans that you can understand and follow.
Find out if your stress levels are affecting your health with an easy, at-home adrenal fatigue test.
As seen on
Stress can be measured by the hormone cortisol—which is produced and managed by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, or HPA axis.
While some stress is necessary (cortisol gets us up in the morning!), we can run into problems when we have more stress than our body can handle.
That’s when adrenal fatigue (or more appropriately, HPA-axis dysfunction) happens, leaving you feeling tired, wired and exhausted.
It’s all very well knowing whether you have high or low cortisol, but an important part of this process is understanding why it’s happening—and what you can do about it.
There are many symptoms associated with adrenal fatigue including insomnia, tiredness, body aches, unexplained weight loss, brain fog, low libido, salt cravings, low-stress intolerance and much more.
By testing you can gain valuable insight into your adrenal function and take the next steps to a better, healthier you.
Unlike other tests on the market, here at Healthpath we test for both Cortisol and DHEA to get an even more comprehensive snapshot of your stress-response system.
Not only do we use a gold-standard test and methodology—our expert practitioners also look at your symptoms, your health history and give you a bespoke health plan of action, so you can finally feel your best.
That’s why we’re called Healthpath, and why thousands of doctors & practitioners recommend us.
For this test, you collect a saliva sample immediately on waking, and then four further samples throughout the day. By measuring levels of cortisol and DHEA, it’s possible to see how your body responds to stress. Your results and tailored plan will be ready within 15 working days.
Here's a sample report so you can know what to expect.

Trying to find solutions to your health issues is complicated enough. On top of that, you’ve probably discovered that there are dozens of competing companies in this area – offering adrenal or other types of testing, with a wide range of features and prices.
We’d love to take a few moments to help you, to answer your questions or concerns, and to give you some genuine advice.
Yes and no. The name ‘adrenal fatigue’ is confusing because it suggests that the adrenal glands slow down or simply stop working. This isn’t the case. What’s actually happening is that the hormone cortisol isn’t functioning as it should, and this dysfunction involves many other parts of the body (including the brain). The symptoms of adrenal fatigue are very real, but it’s probably more accurate to call that state ‘adrenal insufficiency’.
Stress can be psychological, but it can also be physical and chemical. You can feel fine mentally even if physiologically you’re struggling. If you’re suffering from a few of the symptoms listed above, it may be worth taking the adrenal fatigue test.
Anyone suffering from one or more of the symptoms listed above may benefit from taking the adrenal fatigue test. It could be particularly insightful for people who don’t feel refreshed after a good night’s sleep, and/or people who find they get a ‘second wind’ of energy after around 10pm.
