Adrenal Stress Index (ASI) with Saliva Testing
Or Functional Endocrinology (Interactive Balances amongst Hormones)
If you are unhealthy, you will find healing by focusing on effectively turning on your body's regenerative process.
Saliva testing of the adrenal glands offers a powerful tool to evaluate gastrointestinal problems, stress-related and hormone-related diseases, and the overall wellness of the human body.
In the Adrenal Stress Index (ASI) from Diagnos-Techs, Inc.,
four saliva samples are used for the following 10 tests:
4 x Cortisol Helps evaluate stress response
2 x Insulin Helps investigate blood
Sugar control
DHEA Helps determine stress adaptation
Secretory IgA Helps evaluate toll on immunity, including gut permeability
17-OH Progesterone Helps determine adrenal reserve
Gluten Antibodies Helps identify grain intolerance
With blood and urine testing, a number of borderline adrenal conditions are MISSED due to lack of sensitivity. This is not the case with the ASI because samples are taken within one circadian cycle and the more definitive free fraction is measured.
The most common reasons to use the Adrenal Stress Index:
• Dramatic mood shifts
• Chronic stress and related health issues
• Low immunity
• SKIN PROBLEMS
• Lack of vitality and energy
• Muscle and joint pain
• Hypoglycemia
• Common digestive disturbances
• Migraine headaches
• Osteoporosis
• Sleep disturbances
• Poor memory
• Low sex drive
• Low body temperature, thyroid issues
Saliva testing offers a view into the body's emotional, hormonal, immunological, nutritional and metabolic health.
