Adrenal Health & Cortisol Management

Your adrenal glands produce cortisol, adrenaline, DHEA, and aldosterone -- hormones that regulate stress response, blood pressure, energy, and immune function. When the adrenal glands are overworked or underperforming, the effects ripple through every body system. At CornerMed, we evaluate adrenal function through comprehensive salivary and blood cortisol testing, ACTH stimulation tests when indicated, and DHEA-S levels. We treat a spectrum of adrenal conditions -- from HPA axis dysregulation (commonly called adrenal fatigue) to frank adrenal insufficiency and Cushing's syndrome.

Questions

The term 'adrenal fatigue' is debated in conventional medicine, but HPA axis dysregulation -- where the cortisol rhythm becomes blunted -- is well-documented. We test objectively and treat the findings, not just a label.
