Find out if you have adrenal fatigue

What is adrenal fatigue?

Find out if you have adrenal fatigue

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.

Don't just guess: Test and take action, with expert help.

Test for adrenal fatigue

Insomnia, tiredness, body aches, unexplained weight loss, brain fog, low libido, salt cravings, low-stress intolerance… there are many symptoms associated with adrenal fatigue.

Unlike other tests on the market, our 5-sample test checks 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, you can also choose a Plan or Package where our expert practitioners look at your symptoms and health history to give you a bespoke health plan of action.

A path to a better, healthier you.

That’s why we’re called Healthpath, and why thousands of doctors & practitioners recommend us.

About the Adrenal Fatigue Test

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 will be ready within 15 working days.

Here's a sample report so you can know what to expect.

Choose a date & time to suit you

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.

It’s a minefield. One which we are here to help guide you through.

We’d love to take a few moments to help you, to answer your questions or concerns, and to give you some genuine advice.

 

Frequently asked questions

Which testing option is right for me?

We believe good health should be accessible to all, this is why we offer 3 different packages all with interest-free payments.

If you’ve been suffering from long-term symptoms and want the best support to achieve your health goals, we’d strongly recommend you choose our Package option which includes a personalised plan and call with one of our practitioners.

However, no matter which testing option you choose, you can be assured that you’re getting the most comprehensive test on the market, and all test results are reviewed by our team of experienced practitioners.

Can I upgrade my package after purchase?

Yes, if you’d like to upgrade to the Adrenal Plan or Adrenal Package please get in touch with our team at hello@healthpath.com.

Plese note: Adding a plan or health coaching call after your test purchase may be more expensive, so we strongly recommend you opt for the Adrenal Plan or Adrenal Package at the point of first purchase.

Is adrenal fatigue a real condition?

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’.

I don’t feel stressed. Do I need to take the adrenal fatigue test?

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.

Who should take 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.

Do you ship outside the UK?

At the moment we only ship to UK addresses. If you have a special request, please feel free to get in touch.

How do I take the adrenal fatigue test?

You can download full instructions here.

Do I need to stop taking supplements or medications before taking the adrenal fatigue test?

Substances that affect test results include hydrocortisone-containing creams and medications, DHEA supplements, pregnenolone and progesterone. This test is also not suitable for those undergoing cancer therapy. However, you must not stop any medications in order to take this test. Please speak to your GP first.

Is there anything I need to do before taking the adrenal fatigue test?

You should avoid chewing gum, smoking and all food at least 30 minutes prior to each saliva collection. You should also avoid wearing lipstick while taking the samples. For more information, you can download the adrenal fatigue test instructions here.

What should I do if I have a question or an issue with taking my sample?

If you have any questions or issues with taking your sample according to the instructions provided, it is important you contact us before you send your sample to the lab.

Healthpath cannot guarantee to intercept your sample once it arrives at the lab and so it may still be processed.

Contact us on hello@healthpath.com.

How long will it take to get my results?

The turnaround time for these test is 15 working days, after which your results will be posted on your online account.

How do I view my results?

Simply log in to your Healthpath account here and click ‘Tests’. You’ll be able to access your results and personalised recommendations (if applicable) two weeks after returning your samples (sometimes sooner).

How will I know what my results mean?

All your results data is accompanied by clear, jargon-free explanations. Our practitioners also review all results and include a written summary of helpful insights.

Can I claim the cost of the test on my private health insurance?

It’s possible, though you’ll need to check the details of your insurance to see what’s included.

Can I buy a test for my child?

We do offer tests for children, but it’s important you work with a practitioner experienced in working with children.

Personalised, 1 to 1 support with a practitioner is safer and more effective when analysing test results for children and providing appropriate advice.

It is important to reach out to our team to discuss the test before you purchase.
