Description of the ZRT Laboratory Cortisol Awakening Response Profile:

The ZRT Laboratory Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) Profile is a diagnostic test designed to evaluate the body’s natural cortisol secretion pattern in response to awakening. Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that plays a crucial role in regulating stress response, metabolism, immune function, and sleep-wake cycles. This profile measures cortisol levels at multiple time points within the first hour after awakening, providing insights into the CAR, which is a well-documented physiological phenomenon reflecting the body’s ability to mobilize resources in response to stress. Dysregulation of the CAR, such as blunted or exaggerated cortisol awakening responses, has been associated with various health issues, including chronic stress, burnout, fatigue, mood disorders, and immune dysfunction. The CAR Profile helps healthcare providers assess the body’s stress response system and identify potential dysfunctions, guiding targeted interventions to restore balance and support overall health and well-being.
