Find out if your stress levels could be affecting your health.
These hormones are involved in the body's stress response. Cortisol: Often referred to as the "stress hormone," cortisol is produced by the adrenal glands in response to stress. High levels of cortisol can be associated with chronic stress, which can have negative effects on various aspects of health, including sleep, digestion, and immune function. DHEA-S (Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate): This hormone is also produced by the adrenal glands and is a precursor to testosterone and oestrogen. DHEA-S levels naturally decline with age. Some studies suggest that low DHEA-S levels may be associated with increased stress and fatigue.
