Stress lives in your hormones
Years of go-go-go, undersleep, blood sugar swings, and chronic inflammation rewire your HPA-axis. The result: cortisol that's high when it should be low, and low when it should be high.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
+What is adrenal fatigue or adrenal insufficiency?
Adrenal dysfunction (often called adrenal fatigue or HPA-axis dysregulation) is when chronic stress disrupts cortisol rhythm — leaving you wired at night, crashing in the afternoon, and dragging in the morning. True Addison's-type adrenal insufficiency is different and requires endocrine evaluation.
+What are the symptoms?
Morning fatigue, afternoon crashes, salt and sugar cravings, dizziness on standing, poor stress tolerance, anxiety, insomnia, low libido, and 'tired but wired' nights.
+How do you test for it?
We use 4-point salivary cortisol or DUTCH testing to map cortisol and DHEA across the day — not just a single morning blood draw.
+Can you treat this in Northwest Arkansas?
Yes — patients from Bentonville, Rogers, Fayetteville, Springdale, and Bella Vista come to our Lowell, AR clinic for adrenal/HPA-axis evaluation.
