Adrenal Stress Profile
The adrenal glands sit on top of your kidneys. The function of the Adrenal Glands is to produce cortisol which is a stress hormone. So by testing cortisol we can see how well your adrenal glands function.
The # 205 Adrenal Stress Profile tests your hormone and immune system function. You will submit four saliva samples; morning, noon, evening and bedtime. The cortisol and DHEA measurements at these times tell us how well your adrenal glands are functioning. We also look at the main steroidal (sex) hormones, estradiol, estriol, progesterone and testosterone, and your sleep hormone melatonin.
Poor adrenal and hormone function can result in the following symptoms:
- anxiety, depression
- immune system stress
- sleep disturbances
- thinning / premature aging skin
- poor concentration / memory lapses
- heart disease/atherosclerosis
- hot flashes
- night sweats
- osteoporosis
- irregular menstruation
- vaginal dryness
- painful intercourse
- slow healing
- reduced libido
- malaise/lethargy
- unexplained weight gain
- fatigue
- loss of appetite /increased appetite
- hair loss and dry skin
Why Test Adrenal Function?
This profile is clinically indicated to evaluate an individual’s ability to adapt to environmental, mental, emotional, and physiological stressors; to determine the efficacy of DHEA therapy; to assess rest and recovery relative to morning and bedtime Cortisol; and bedtime levels of Melatonin and Progesterone. The adrenal glands control the following
Ovarian hormones, Thyroid, Pancreas, Noronal conductivity, bone turn over, Carbohydrate Metabolism, Mucosal barrier function and protein and Fat Metabolism. This is why we check the adrenals!

GI Pathogen Screen
There can be a battle between good and bad flora in the gut which is gut dysbiosis. If bad flora is winning or its way out of balance, this then produces a lot of toxins which raise lipid peroxides, excessive oxidative stress and an over growth of bacteria.
By simply eating the wrong foods, infection and infestation such as parasites bacteria, viruses and fungi can set in. This test will help eliminate all the hidden internal stressors. One of the most common causes of clinical and subclinical stress is infections, which may go undetected for many years and keep the body in a chronic state of stress. The obvious symptoms of having a parasite in the body would be adrenal fatigue, maldigestion, malabsorption, toxicity and detoxification problems. The longer the person is in a chronic state response, the higher the risk for hormone immune and metabolic breakdown.
GI Pathogen Screening
- Detects intestinal microflora on stool culture
- Some flora is normal, some does not belong in the body
- Uses direct microscopic examination
- Extra smearing includes tri-chrome stain examination which is even more sensitive and illuminating to technical staff
- Measures elevated IgG Antibodies in response to Cryptosporidium parvum, Entamoeba histolytica, and Giardia lamblia antigens in stool
- Detects bacteria Clostridium difficile: Colitis toxins A and B
- Dangerous bacterial infection that causes disease is often picked up in hospitals
- Identifies invasive yeasts and amount of growth
- Candida albicans, Aspergillus and H Pylori
- Detects Occult Blood – positive or negative
"I have always been a very fit person full of energy but with a very busy and demanding job. I went through a divorce and moved jobs and countries. I found myself starting to lack energy and not being able to bounce out of bed like I used to. I knew something was wrong and saw various health professionals with no great improvement and then my chiropractor referred me to Hannah who right away suspected adrenal fatigue. She got me to do some tests which confirmed her diagnosis. She then put me on some drops and suggested improvements to my diet. Further tests confirmed that I had some intestinal parasites which were draining my body of nourishment which was compounding the problem. I know I picked them up travelling in India and Egypt on business travel as I suffered food poisoning in both countries in the previous 12 months.
After some additional medication for these and the drops I found myself starting to feel normal self again and back to my normal levels of energy. I am so grateful to Hannah for helping me with this and solving my problem."

Food Allergy Testing
If you get an uncomfortable feeling in your upper or lower abdomin when you eat or after you eat, you may have a food intolerance. By indentifying your food intolerance you are taking the first step to a flatter stomach but also a healthier gut.
Food can be toxic if you are sensitive to it because it can create an immune response or an antigen load on the liver. If you have an intolerance to a food then this can cause inflammation of the gut lining, which causes stomach bloating and gas, maldigestion and malabsorption.
Gluten Sensitivity and Celiac Disease
Eating a non Metabolic Typing Diet is a stress on the body. Bread is not a terrible thing unless you are sensitive to gluten. You may have no symptoms and you could have it for life. However there will be a cost to your health if it goes undetected such as Autoimmune disease, MS,RA,Heart Disease, Cancer or Diabetes.
Celiac Disease
The inability to digest gluten which may have no digestive symptoms. You may have unexplained aches and pains or early onset of Osteoporosis. Inflammatory conditions could be symptoms of celiac disease.
Gluten is a protein found in many food sources mainly grains.
