If you want to test your cortisol or DHEA levels using saliva, you can order the tests from the website of John R. Lee, M.D. The website offers an affordable Adrenal Stress Profile that measures cortisol at four points during the day as well as DHEA. You provide your saliva samples in the convenience of your home and then send the samples in a prepaid mailer to the laboratory for testing. You can also have your samples tested for other hormones, including the sex hormones. To learn more and to order tests, go to http://www.johnleemd.com/store/prod_stest.html.
