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
Fatigue, irritability, poor sleep, weight changes, frequent illness, and digestive upset.
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.
