Relax and Unwind
Your Stress Levels Matter
Cortisol is produced by the adrenal glands and is the primary stress hormone. It’s your body’s natural “flight or fight ” response.
High cortisol levels – high cortisol levels can be caused by underlying issues such as overactivity or cancer of the pituitary or adrenal glands, chronic stress or medication side effects.
Low cortisol levels – low cortisol levels mean the adrenal glands aren’t making enough cortisol. This could be caused by Addison’s disease, removal of the adrenal glands, certain genetic disorders, or certain antifungal medications.
Blood Draw Made Easy
Tasso+ Blood Collection Device
The Tasso+, self-collection device makes it quick and easy to independently draw a small blood sample at home, without the stress or circulation issues of a fingertip draw.
Both of our TruAge test kits require a blood sample to analyze various age-related biomarkers. Each kit comes with all materials needed to complete an at-home, blood sample collection. Several lancets (a small finger-pricking tool) are included in each TruAge kit. However, patients who are squeamish or uncomfortable with that extraction option can purchase a Tasso+ device, which attaches to the bicep-facing, upper section of the arm for minimal patient involvement in the blood collection process.
