The Cortisol Testing Guide
Tired, wired, waking at 3am and told your labs are normal? This guide explains how cortisol is properly measured in perimenopause and how to read the result.
What's inside
- Why a single morning blood cortisol misses the pattern that matters
- The four-point saliva curve and the DUTCH test, explained without jargon
- What a flattened, inverted or elevated curve tends to mean for sleep, energy and weight
- Which questions to ask before you order anything
