It's a urine test and it can
You could look at how your body metabolizes the various stress hormones and how much it's putting out.
The tricky part is I've been recommending this for 10 years now.
And then people will say, I went to my doctor and I asked my doctor to test my adrenals.
They said, I don't have Addison's.
And I'm like, okay, well, you've got to go to a doctor that is an integrative practitioner.
And they're like, oh, well, I found one, but they're very expensive.
And these tests I have to pay out of pocket for.
So that's kind of another barrier to getting the help.
And then they get the tests, they get them home and then they're like, but it's been sitting on my shelf for three months.
Right.
And then, and then finally they do the test and they get the results, you know, a few weeks later, sometimes a couple of months.
And it's like six months have gone by where, you know, I could have told you based on your symptoms that you are, um, you know, if you're chronically fatigued, there's a good chance that you're in that stress response.
If you are
if you're in that fight or flight mode and you're feeling really irritable all throughout the day and you can't sleep, I'm pretty sure you have too much cortisol.
So I do love tests and I recommend them, but I wanted to create a program and a protocol that was entirely based on symptoms and how to reverse and address the symptoms.
So people could work with their doctors and get the tests that they need, or they can really be empowered to take charge of their own health.
I don't know if you've had the same experience to you.
I think, you know, unfortunately, I think it has to do a lot with the nomenclature where the term adrenal fatigue, it was initially coined where the person that, um, and the, the brilliant people that coined the term and started educating the world about it, the initial understanding of the mechanism of action behind it, what was going on was kind of like a mild Addison's or that the adrenals were not capable of producing cortisol, but
where we know it's more of an adaptive system, where the adrenals are capable of producing cortisol, they're just not releasing the cortisol at the right times throughout the day.
