How Do You Test For Adrenal Fatigue?

Cortisol, the fight or flight hormone, is produced by a healthy adrenal gland. Out of balance, it can create many of the symptoms listed above. Testing for cortisol must involve 4 points during a 24 hour period in order to determine how it cascades through the day.

Some doctors will do only a cortisol test with a morning blood draw. Unfortunately, this tells you little about your adrenal function as you must be able to see what it does throughout the remainder of the day in order to treat. Perhaps it is low all day; or it could be too low in the morning and too high at night. Those two scenarios are treated differently, so gathering the information correctly is vital.

The Art of Healing

Holistic Doctor for Adrenal FatigueAdrenal problems often happen when we fail to nurture ourselves sufficiently. 

Are you ignoring personal boundaries and giving up too much of your time and emotions to others?

Are you feeling shame or guilt about taking time to rest?

Are you disassociating your emotions and taxing your energy constantly by suppressing something traumatic that needs to be resolved? 

The Science of Healing

Testing the adrenal function appropriately is most often performed by a natural doctor, a naturopath or chiropractor.

Tests must be performed throughout a full day – one test of serum cortisol in the morning tells you nothing about the overall function of your adrenal glands.

Saliva is the easiest utilized for this test. If your doctor isn’t doing a 4-catch test, then find another doctor.

Off all Prescriptions

“I feel great now thanks to Dr. Robin. She has treated my depression, anxiety, fibro-cystic breast, migraines, fatigue, bloating, restless sleep, etc. After only 4 and a half months of treatment, I am off all prescription medications except a mild allergy pill. Prior to seeing Dr. Robin, I was seeing an OB, a neurologists, a surgeon and an oncologists (for precancerous breast tissue) and their solutions were to give me a prescription, order more tests, or “cut it out and see what that shows us.” Tests revealed nothing, and each medication only addressed symptoms, never the problem. Before accepting the medications I did research and tried alternatives to medications, i.e. exercise, meditation, eating well, but it was never enough. After meeting with Dr. Robin it was clear to her what the problem might be and the tests she ordered only confirmed her suspicions. I am 52 yo and have never had a candida test done before, nor had anyone ever tested my neurotransmitter levels. My goal after seeing Dr. Robin was to achieve an overall sense of well-being and I feel like I now have that. I hate that insurance will not pay for these treatments. Think of the money I am saving my insurance company! But it is worth every penny. So much so that my husband and I are now paying Dr. Robin to treat my daughter. Thanks Dr. Robin.’*

Sleep without Sleeping Pills, lower Blood Pressure

“Dr. Mayfield is a very experienced and exceptional holistic health practitioner. I did research before choosing her and found that her practice uses natural products. When I first came to her my metabolism and hormones were so very bad. I had no energy and could not sleep since having a hysterectomy plus gaining weight. Since seeing Dr. Mayfield I can sleep without sleep pills, I have energy to do things with my grandkids. I have lowered my blood pressure and cholesterol. My knees have hurt me for the last 5 years to the point that I was having to consider surgery but with having the vitamins that my body was wanting my knees have become stronger and not hurting. I’m able to ride bikes with my grand daughter. If you are ready to change your life of feeling better and healthier then you need to see Dr. Robin Mayfield.”*
