The Cortisol Blood Test from Repose Healthcare is a convenient, accurate way to measure your cortisol levels, providing essential insight into your stress response and adrenal health. Cortisol, often referred to as the “stress hormone,” plays a critical role in regulating metabolism, blood pressure, immune function, and sleep-wake cycles.
Monitoring cortisol can help detect hormonal imbalances, stress-related conditions, and potential adrenal disorders, enabling timely medical intervention and personalised lifestyle adjustments.
Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, released in response to stress and low blood-glucose levels. It helps:
Regulate metabolism and blood sugar
Control blood pressure
Modulate immune responses
Support brain function
Maintain energy levels throughout the day
Imbalances can lead to conditions such as Cushing’s syndrome (high cortisol) or Addison’s disease (low cortisol), as well as chronic stress-related health issues.
Measuring cortisol levels is essential if you experience:
Persistent fatigue or low energy
Unexplained weight gain or loss
Sleep disturbances or insomnia
Anxiety, depression, or mood swings
High blood pressure or metabolic concerns
Suspected adrenal gland disorders

Cortisol levels naturally fluctuate throughout the day. Your report will include reference ranges for:
Morning cortisol levels – typically higher upon waking
Afternoon cortisol levels – expected to decline naturally
Abnormal results – may indicate hypercortisolism (too much cortisol) or hypocortisolism (too little cortisol)
Results are presented in an easy-to-understand format and can be shared with your GP or endocrinologist for further guidance.
High cortisol levels may be associated with:
Cushing’s syndrome
Chronic stress or anxiety disorders
High blood pressure and metabolic syndrome
Weight gain, particularly around the abdomen
Low cortisol levels may be linked to:
