Stress can be real or perceived, the body doesn’t recognize the difference! That’s why it’s so important to manage stress and evaluate cortisol when your patients present with chronic stress symptoms.  On this episode of DUTCH Summer School, we’re joined by Kaitlin Tyre, ND, a clinical educator here at DUTCH for some talk on cortisol curves. She and Jaclyn break down what cortisol curve patterns to look for in each DUTCH report and talk about stress management techniques that can help patients improve their stress response. Show Notes Download the case study from this episode: DUTCH ReportLearn more about coritsol and how sleep effects the diurnal rhythm, register for our July webinar with Dr. Allison Smith: DUTCH Monthly Webinars - DUTCH Test DUTCH Blog: Measuring Free Cortisone and Metabolized Cortisol DUTCH Blog: Assessing Chronic Fatigue with the Cortisol Awakening Response Learn more about sleep hygieneAre you interested in becoming a DUTCH provider?  You can sign up to become one today at www.dutchtest.com/providers.
