Stress Profile

Meaning

A Stress Profile is a comprehensive, multi-metric clinical assessment that characterizes an individual’s unique physiological and psychological response patterns to chronic and acute stressors. This profile typically integrates objective hormonal markers, such as the diurnal rhythm of salivary cortisol and DHEA, with subjective psychological questionnaires and lifestyle data. The objective is to move beyond a simple diagnosis of “stress” to precisely map the degree of Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis dysregulation and its impact on systemic resilience. This detailed information is crucial for designing a truly personalized and effective stress management and recovery protocol.
