Introduction: You Can’t Always Feel What’s Failing
Most of us associate stress with mental burnout — but it quietly wreaks havoc on your physical body too. Chronic stress can lead to hormone imbalances, digestive issues, elevated blood sugar, heart strain, and poor immunity. The good news? Your lab reports often show the signs before you feel them.
At Yoda Diagnostics, we believe in not just checking vitals — but decoding what your reports say about your stress biology.
How Stress Shows Up in Bloodwork

- Vitamin D3 & B12: Often depleted by adrenal fatigue
- CRP & ESR: Indicators of inflammation
- HbA1c & Fasting Sugar: Stress-induced insulin resistance
