Stress & Cortisol Panel
How stress may be showing up in your body.
from $135What this test is
Chronically high cortisol affects sleep, weight, skin and hair. This panel checks your stress hormone pattern so it can be addressed rather than ignored.
Is this test for you?
- You've been under persistent stress
- You have poor sleep or weight gain around the middle
- You've noticed skin or hair changes during stressful periods
What we test
Your main stress hormone, measured in the morning when it's normally highest.
Often assessed alongside cortisol to understand your overall stress response.
Chronic stress can affect thyroid function over time.
How you take this test
Choose whichever fits your schedule. Either way, your sample goes to the same accredited lab and is read by a clinician against optimal (not just "normal") ranges.
At home Convenient
An at-home finger-prick micro-sample kit is mailed to you. Follow the step-by-step guide, collect a few drops of blood, and post it back in the prepaid envelope.

In clinic Assisted
A standard venous blood draw taken by a phlebotomist at a partner clinic near you — no different from a routine blood test at a doctor's office.
Results and your clinician report in 3–5 business days
Before you test: Cortisol follows a daily rhythm, so this sample needs to be taken in the morning for an accurate result.
After your results
A clinician reads every marker against your age, symptoms and goals, then writes a plain-language report with a protocol you can act on. If treatment is recommended, your results travel with you to a certified Aesthetics BioCare provider, so nothing needs re-explaining.
