Adrenal Function Testing in NYC

Introduction: A New Way to Understand Fatigue and Stress

In today’s fast-paced world, stress-related disorders are more common than ever. Yet conventional medicine often overlooks one critical system—the adrenal glands. At Patients Medical in New York City, our integrative and functional medicine approach focuses on identifying the root causes of adrenal fatigue and hormonal imbalances, so you can restore energy, clarity, and well-being—naturally.

We don’t just treat your symptoms—we treat the underlying dysfunction that’s draining your vitality.

What Are the Adrenal Glands?

Your adrenal glands are two small organs located above your kidneys. They produce essential hormones like cortisol, DHEA, and adrenaline—regulating your response to stress, metabolism, energy production, blood pressure, and immune function.

When these glands are overworked or underactive, a condition called adrenal dysfunction or “adrenal fatigue” can develop, leading to a cascade of health issues.
