Page 4 - Saliva Cortisol Testing

Adults have a tendency to have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, or they are “worriers,”
which essentially means that person has always been stuck in the stress mode. Someone who is a
worrier may tend to grind their teeth, bite their nails, or pick at their cuticles. This indicates that
they are stuck in stress mode, which means their cortisol is off and they’ve got to get rid of that
bear, otherwise it will be very difficult for the body to heal in any way.”
