Chronic Stress

Chronic stress reshapes the HPA axis and affects hormones, immunity, and digestion. We measure stress biomarkers and build a structured recovery plan.

Symptoms

Causes and risk

Prolonged life stress, trauma, poor sleep, over-training, blood sugar swings, and lack of recovery time.

How it is evaluated

Four-point salivary cortisol or DUTCH testing, DHEA levels, thyroid panel, and lifestyle assessment.

Treatment

Adaptogenic herbs (ashwagandha, rhodiola), stress-reduction techniques, sleep management, and blood sugar management.
