Cortisol Impact Assessment

Meaning

A systematic clinical evaluation of the physiological and psychological consequences resulting from an individual’s current pattern of cortisol secretion, metabolism, and receptor sensitivity. This assessment moves beyond simply measuring total cortisol levels to interpret the functional effect of the hormone on key systems, including metabolic balance, immune response, bone density, and cognitive function. It provides a holistic view of chronic stress load and HPA axis resilience.
