Stress Test Results…
0 - 1 = Very good
Stress does not currently seem to be interfering with your health. However, everyone's stress levels fluctuate.
2 - 3 = Possible Adrenal Exhaustion
Stress could be an underlying problem to your health issues and could be overworking your adrenal glands, which could be throwing many other bodily functions out of balance.
4 or more = Likely Adrenal Exhaustion
Stress is definitely depleting your adrenal glands and could definitely be at the root of your problem. Constant stress will throw your hormones, metabolism and chemical brain messengers out of balance.
Important Note:If you are experiencing 6 or more symptoms, we highly recommend accessing adrenal function with the Adrenal Stress Profile and or Neurotransmitter Profile to determine how depleted and exhausted your adrenal glands may be functioning and how they can be attributing to your health concerns.
