Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

Calcium Blood Test
"I'm a little biased as I work here! However, I love that The Bloody Good Test tracks my health over time. After turning 40, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to drop dead from something basic I should have known about earlier. Measuring all my core biomarkers each year gives me peace of mind my health is on the right track"

Overview

The Adrenocortex Stress Profile Basic measures cortisol at four points across your day plus morning DHEA-S using saliva samples collected at home. Available throughout Australia, this test maps your stress hormone rhythm from waking through evening.

Cortisol should follow a predictable curve: highest within an hour of waking, declining steadily, lowest at bedtime. When this pattern flattens or inverts, common symptoms include morning fatigue, afternoon crashes, poor stress tolerance, and difficulty sleeping despite exhaustion. DHEA-S works alongside cortisol as a balancing hormone, and the ratio between them indicates overall adrenal resilience.

This test suits people whose energy, mood, or stress response has changed without clear explanation. By revealing your specific cortisol pattern rather than a single snapshot, it helps practitioners move past generic advice toward targeted support for adrenal recovery.

Symptoms

Essential for people experiencing morning fatigue, afternoon energy crashes, difficulty handling stress, anxiety without clear cause, or sleep disturbances that haven't improved with basic interventions.

Questions

  • Cortisol at four times (6-8am, noon, 4pm, 8pm) plus morning DHEA-S. This maps your daily stress hormone rhythm and checks whether DHEA adequately balances cortisol.
  • Saliva captures free (bioactive) hormones that actually affect your cells. Blood tests measure total hormones including protein-bound forms your body cannot use directly.
  • Cortisol peaks in the morning, helping you wake alert, then declines steadily to reach low levels by evening. DHEA-S should remain adequate to buffer cortisol effects.
  • People with persistent fatigue, anxiety, difficulty managing stress, morning grogginess, afternoon crashes, or sleep disturbances that haven't responded to basic interventions.
  • Collect saliva at four times using the tubes provided. Avoid eating, drinking (except water), brushing teeth, or smoking for 30 minutes before each collection.
  • Results typically return within 10-14 business days after the laboratory receives your samples.
  • The basic profile measures cortisol and DHEA-S. The extensive version adds Secretory IgA to assess stress-related immune function.
  • Corticosteroids and hormone medications may interfere. Discuss timing with your healthcare provider before testing.
