What the test measures

Our Stress Hormone Check measures cortisol, the main hormone your adrenal glands release in response to stress, and DHEA-S, another adrenal hormone that tends to fall with age and long-term illness.

The price includes the blood draw at our clinic, analysis at the Randox accredited laboratory (ISO/IEC 15189, UKAS Lab ID 9329) and a practitioner review of your result. A GP feedback report is available on request, and no GP referral is needed.

Who it is for

  • You have ongoing fatigue, poor sleep or feel burnt out
  • You have unexplained weight gain or weight loss
  • You have used steroid medicines for a long time
  • You train hard and want to check your recovery

What a cortisol test can and cannot tell you

Cortisol follows a daily rhythm, highest in the early morning and lowest around midnight, so a blood test reflects your level at that moment. A very low or very high result can point to an adrenal or pituitary condition, which would need further specialist tests arranged through your GP.

A single cortisol blood test cannot measure everyday stress, and "adrenal fatigue" is not a recognised medical diagnosis. Your practitioner explains your result honestly and in context.

Preparing for your test

Book an early morning appointment, ideally between 8am and 9am. Steroid medicines, including inhalers and creams, and the contraceptive pill can affect cortisol, so tell us what you take. No fasting is needed.

Questions

How much is a cortisol blood test?

Our Stress Hormone Check, which measures cortisol and DHEA-S, costs £79, including the blood draw, Randox laboratory analysis and a practitioner review.

What time should I have a cortisol test?

Early morning, ideally between 8am and 9am, when cortisol is at its natural peak.

Can a blood test diagnose adrenal fatigue?

No. Adrenal fatigue is not a recognised medical diagnosis. A cortisol test can help rule out genuine adrenal conditions, which need specialist follow-up.

Can you send my results to my GP?

Yes. A GP feedback report is available on request for every test. Let us know when you book or at your appointment and we will prepare a report you can share with your GP.
