A YouTube talk by Aaron Hartman, MD (uploaded March 4, 2025) about diagnosing common health complaints by focusing on gut health and HPA-axis function. The speaker asserts that addressing gut issues and HPA-axis dysfunction (measured via a four-point salivary cortisol test) can resolve roughly 80% of patients' problems, with the remainder being individual-specific.

I want to know what's going on in their gut, and I want to know what's going on with your HPA axis, because if I get that right, when I get that right, hopefully 80% of their problem is solved and the other 20% is specific to that individual. But I see it over and over and over again, and it's very, very rare that they're both normal right off the bat. So it's, it's a four point salivary test. It's the best way to measure that.
