Sleep Balance Kit

Test for the circadian rhythm of melatonin in concert with urinary free cortisol (UFC) to assess sleep/wake cycle dysfunction. Urine is collected on filter strips at 4 time points throughout the day representative of the peaks and troughs of melatonin and cortisol production. The first urine void represents the 8 hours or so of overnight peak melatonin production, eliminating the need for middle of the night collection.

What are the Test?

  • Free Cortisol Test: A free cortisol test is a diagnostic tool used to measure the levels of cortisol, a stress hormone, in the bloodstream. While it's typically not specifically linked to sleep, cortisol plays a significant role in the body's circadian rhythm and can affect sleep patterns. In a clinical context, measuring free cortisol levels can provide insights into an individual's overall stress response and adrenal function. If high cortisol levels are detected, it may indicate chronic stress, which can disrupt sleep quality and lead to sleep-related issues. 
  • Free Cortisone Test: Cortisone is the inactive form of cortisol. Cortisone shows minimal biological activity per se, reflecting negligible affinity for the glucocorticoid and aldosterone receptors. The kidney, colon and saliva gland have lots of activity for changing cortisol to cortisone (active to inactive) to keep cortisol off the aldosterone receptor. Cortisone is converted back in the liver, fat, etc. Free cortisone is a secondary, confirmatory marker for the up-and-down pattern of free cortisol. Free cortisol is of primary importance, but the pattern of cortisone helps to shape what free cortisol implies about systemic free cortisol. . 
  • Melatonin(MT6s) Test: Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland in the brain, and it plays a crucial role in regulating the sleep-wake cycle, making it integral to our overall sleep patterns. MT6s tests to assess a person's circadian rhythm and sleep quality. Such tests can provide insights into the body's melatonin production, which can be helpful in diagnosing sleep disorders and developing effective treatment plans. 
  • Creatine Test: A creatine blood test, also known as a serum creatinine test, measures the levels of creatinine in the bloodstream. Creatinine is a waste product generated by muscle metabolism, and its levels are a commonly used indicator of kidney function. It is not directly related to sleep but can be important in monitoring overall health, as kidney dysfunction may lead to various health issues. If you are undergoing a creatine blood test, it is likely for reasons other than sleep assessment, such as monitoring kidney function, assessing muscle health, or evaluating the impact of certain medications.
  • Norepinephrine: A Norepinephrine test is a diagnostic tool used to measure the levels of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter and stress hormone, in the bloodstream. While it's not a direct test for sleep, norepinephrine plays a crucial role in regulating the body's stress response and alertness. Elevated norepinephrine levels, especially during the night, can disrupt sleep patterns and contribute to conditions like insomnia. Measuring norepinephrine levels can help identify underlying factors related to sleep disturbances, allowing healthcare professionals to develop targeted interventions to improve sleep quality and overall well-being.
  • Epinephrine: An epinephrine test, also known as an adrenaline test, measures the levels of epinephrine (adrenaline) in the bloodstream. While it's not a direct test for sleep, epinephrine is a stress hormone that can impact sleep patterns. Elevated epinephrine levels, often associated with the body's "fight or flight" response, can lead to sleep disturbances, including difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. Such tests can help healthcare professionals assess the influence of stress and adrenaline on an individual's sleep quality and overall health. Identifying and managing high epinephrine levels can be an important step in addressing sleep-related issues and promoting better rest.
  • Methylcobalamin: Methylcobalamin is a biologically active form of vitamin B12, and its primary role is not directly related to weight loss. Vitamin B12 is essential for various bodily functions, including nerve function, DNA synthesis, and the formation of red blood cells. While it is true that a deficiency in vitamin B12 can lead to symptoms like fatigue and weakness, which may affect energy levels and indirectly impact weight management, simply taking Methylcobalamin as a supplement is not a guaranteed way to lose weight. However when taken with other chemicals under expert guidance, we can take the good and supplement it with something else to make it more efficient.
