Cortisol Blood Test in Wimbledon – Monitor Stress Levels and Adrenal Function

The Cortisol Blood Test is a valuable tool for assessing your stress levels and adrenal function. Cortisol, known as the “stress hormone,” is produced by the adrenal glands and plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, immune response, and stress reactions. Abnormal cortisol levels can indicate stress, adrenal issues, or underlying health conditions.

Why Choose the Cortisol Blood Test in Wimbledon?

If you're experiencing symptoms like fatigue, insomnia, weight gain, or anxiety, a Cortisol Blood Test can help determine if cortisol imbalances are affecting your health. Elevated cortisol levels are often linked to chronic stress, while low levels may be a sign of adrenal insufficiency or Addison’s disease.

This test is ideal for individuals who are:

  • Experiencing chronic stress or anxiety.
  • Struggling with fatigue, insomnia, or difficulty managing stress.
  • Concerned about adrenal health or hormonal imbalances.
  • Managing conditions like Cushing’s syndrome or Addison’s disease.

By measuring cortisol levels in the blood, the test provides insight into your adrenal gland function and can help guide treatment for stress management and other related conditions.

What’s Included in the Cortisol Blood Test?

The Cortisol Blood Test measures the concentration of cortisol in your blood at specific times of day. Cortisol follows a diurnal pattern, meaning levels are typically highest in the morning and decrease throughout the day. This test can help assess your body's cortisol rhythm and determine if an imbalance is affecting your health.

What does a cortisol blood test show? +
A cortisol blood test measures the level of cortisol in your blood. Cortisol follows a diurnal rhythm — it is highest in the morning and lowest at night. A morning cortisol test assesses adrenal gland function and can help identify conditions such as adrenal insufficiency (Addison's disease) or adrenal overactivity (Cushing's syndrome).
What are the symptoms of abnormal cortisol levels? +
High cortisol (Cushing's syndrome) can cause weight gain (particularly around the abdomen and face), high blood pressure, poor sleep, easy bruising, muscle weakness, and mood changes. Low cortisol (Addison's disease or adrenal fatigue) can cause extreme fatigue, low blood pressure, weight loss, salt cravings, and low mood.
When is the best time to take a cortisol blood test? +
Cortisol is highest between 7-9am. For the most clinically relevant result, this test should be taken as early in the morning as possible, ideally before 9am. Please book an early morning appointment for this test.

Who analyses my blood sample? +

What happens if a result comes back abnormal? +
Every result includes a doctor's report that explains what any out-of-range values mean in plain English. A single abnormal result isn't always cause for concern, but if follow-up is needed the report will tell you exactly what to do next. You're never left to figure it out alone.
