Wired but tired? Your cortisol pattern might explain why.
You’re exhausted in the morning but wired at night. You rely on caffeine to function. You crash hard in the afternoon. Stress feels harder to recover from than it used to. These are classic signs that your cortisol rhythm is off — and a standard blood test won’t catch it, because a single blood draw only shows one moment in time.
This cortisol test at home in BC uses saliva samples collected at multiple points throughout the day to map your cortisol curve — revealing whether your adrenals are overproducing, underproducing, or producing at the wrong times.
What’s Measured
Cortisol — Multi-Point Saliva Collection
Cortisol should be highest in the morning (giving you energy to start the day) and lowest at night (allowing you to sleep). This test measures your levels at several points across the day to identify whether your pattern is normal, flattened, reversed, or elevated — each of which has different implications for your health and treatment.
Who Is This Test For?
Anyone experiencing morning fatigue that doesn’t improve with sleep, afternoon energy crashes, difficulty falling or staying asleep, feeling “wired and tired,” increased anxiety or a shortened stress tolerance, reliance on caffeine or sugar to get through the day, or burnout and prolonged recovery from stressful periods.
