Reading Labs: Assessing Your Stress Levels - The DHEAS Test for Optimal Health

This podcast episode discusses the importance of measuring DHEAS, a hormone that indicates the overall function and health of the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands are responsible for producing hormones in response to stress. A DHEAS measurement in the range of 200-300 is considered optimal, while levels above 300 indicate overactivity due to high stress levels and levels below 200 indicate underactivity. The episode suggests ways to support adrenal health, such as getting enough sleep and engaging in stress-reducing activities.
