Cortisol test

[GenXAAS]

I'm going in for my 6 week BW next week, and I want to add a cortisol test to my BW.

I did a Cortisol test by saliva (4 samples about 6 hours apart) about 3.5 years ago. It indicated a very high (out of range) morning sample, and a low range on the other 3 samples as the day went on. The high cortisol might have indicated a situational stressor at that time in my life.

At any rate, Labcorp offers a number of cortisol tests: AM, AM&PM, 4 samples, ACTH, LS/MS, etc. Which would be an adequate, informative test to show me the health of my cortisol levels?

Why do I care about this? I want to know if my very high cortisol level from about 4 years ago is still occurring.

Probably the most well rounded test would be this type:

Adrenal Stress

I don't think you'll find it at the mainstream labs.

Yea, that zrt lab test for cortisol and DHEA-S was part of the test I did over 3 years ago. Labcorp has a several test types for cortisol (and DHEA-S), but if the cost is about the same, I may just use zrt again. zrt labs uses a saliva sample. Not sure if Labcorp uses blood or saliva, or if one sample type is more accurate than the other.
