Cortisol (AM) Levels

🌞 Cortisol (AM) Levels — Assessing Your Body’s Stress Hormone

Cortisol is a hormone produced by your adrenal glands that helps regulate your body’s response to stress, as well as blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and immune function.

The AM cortisol test measures cortisol levels early in the morning — when they should be at their peak — to evaluate adrenal gland function. Abnormal levels may suggest conditions such as:

• Adrenal insufficiency (Addison’s disease)

• Cushing’s syndrome

• Chronic stress or burnout

• Pituitary gland dysfunction

📍 At Desert Mobile Medical, we can test morning cortisol levels as part of a personalized hormone or fatigue workup, all from the comfort of your home.
