Chronic fatigue and persistent stress are more than inconveniences. They’re signals that your body’s stress response system may be out of balance.
Your adrenal glands play a critical role in how you handle stress, regulate energy, and maintain overall wellness, yet imbalances often go undetected for years.
At Fountain of Youth Medical Spa, Dr. Nhi Le and her team offer comprehensive adrenal function testing that goes far beyond basic lab work. As a board-certified Internist and fellow of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, Dr. Le specializes in functional and regenerative medicine, using advanced diagnostics to uncover the root causes of fatigue, stress, and hormonal imbalance.
What Is Adrenal Function Testing?
Adrenal function testing is a comprehensive diagnostic program designed to assess how well your body is managing stress and inflammation. The adrenal glands produce essential hormones like cortisol and DHEA, which regulate metabolism, immune function, energy levels, and your perception of stress. When these hormones fall out of balance, you may experience fatigue, weight gain, mood changes, sleep disturbances, and increased susceptibility to chronic illness.
Our program begins with a thorough assessment of 4-point cortisol levels, neurotransmitters, and other hormones that directly affect your energy and stress response. This multi-layered approach provides a complete picture of your adrenal health and identifies underlying imbalances that conventional testing often misses.
What’s Included in Your Adrenal Function Test Package?
Your comprehensive testing package includes:
- Neuroadrenal Basic (by Neuroscience, Inc.) with Salivary Cortisol and Neurotransmitters
- Organix test (by Metametrix)
- Comprehensive Thyroid Panel
- CBC and CMP
- Magnesium, GGT, and Vitamin D 25-OH
- Insulin and Hgb A1c
- Bioavailable Testosterone with SHBG
- ANA IFA, CRP, and ESR
- Vitamin B12 and RBC Folate
- EBV Panel and CMV Panel
This extensive panel evaluates not just your adrenal hormones, but also thyroid function, inflammation markers, vitamin deficiencies, and metabolic health—all factors that influence how your body responds to stress.
Benefits of Adrenal Function Testing
Since stress and inflammation are major underlying factors in many chronic diseases, checking cortisol and DHEA levels offers a window into how well your body is managing these critical elements of health. Both hormones affect carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism, as well as thyroid and sex hormone function.
- Cortisol: This anti-inflammatory hormone follows a natural circadian rhythm, with maximum levels occurring between 5 and 8 am and lowest levels between midnight and 4 am. Cortisol helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle but suppresses immunity when chronically elevated.
- DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone): This hormone reduces inflammation, supports metabolism, cardiovascular health, and nervous system function. DHEA also serves as a precursor to both male and female sex hormones and supports healthy immune function.
Understanding your unique hormone patterns allows Dr. Le to create personalized treatment plans that restore your body’s natural balance.
Understanding Your Test Results
You’ll receive an easy-to-understand, color-coded test report that compares your results to reference ranges for cortisol and DHEA. The report includes research-based commentary to help you understand what your results mean for your health. Dr. Le will review your results with you during a comprehensive consultation, explaining how your hormone levels relate to your symptoms and overall wellness goals.
