Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the body, primarily responsible for regulating the sleep-wake cycle, also known as the circadian rhythm.

Darkness triggers increased melatonin production, signaling the body to prepare for sleep, while daylight reduces melatonin levels, promoting wakefulness. These processes are essential to maintaining a healthy rhythm of sleep and alertness.

In addition to its role in sleep regulation, melatonin serves several other important functions:

• Coordinates the intricate interactions between the mind and body
• Influences hormonal balance and behavioral functions
• Helps regulate body temperature
• Supports cardiovascular health
• Acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting cells from damage

Melatonin Balance: Why 35–65 Is Optimal

Melatonin is your body’s natural sleep hormone, produced in response to darkness. It regulates sleep cycles, mood, hormones, and immune function.

In QRT, a score between 35 and 65 reflects balanced melatonin signaling—supporting restful sleep, stable mood, and healthy rhythms.

QRT Score Interpretation (0–100)

• 35–65 → Balanced
  Indicates healthy nighttime melatonin production and good sleep-wake regulation.
• Below 35 → Low Melatonin
  May suggest poor production or absorption. Can lead to sleep issues, low immunity, mood changes, or hormone imbalance.
• Above 65 → High Melatonin
  May point to oversupplementation or slow clearance. Can cause grogginess, hormonal suppression, or disrupted circadian rhythm.

Cortisol is a stress hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps your body manage and adapt to physical, emotional, and environmental challenges. It plays a vital role in energy regulation, immune function, and the sleep-wake cycle.

Key Roles of Cortisol:

• Regulates blood sugar, blood pressure, and energy levels
• Supports alertness in the morning and rest at night
• Controls inflammation and immune response
• Helps the body respond to and recover from stress

Cortisol follows a natural daily rhythm—rising in the morning to energize you and lowering at night to support sleep. When out of balance, it can contribute to fatigue, anxiety, weight changes, and hormone disruption.

Cortisol Balance: Why 35–65 Is Optimal

Cortisol is your body’s primary stress hormone, produced by the adrenal glands. It plays a key role in managing energy, metabolism, blood sugar, blood pressure, immunity, and emotional resilience.

In QRT, a score between 35 and 65 indicates a balanced response to stress—neither depleted nor overstimulated.

QRT Score Interpretation (0–100)

• 35–65 → Balanced
  Reflects healthy cortisol rhythm, energy levels, emotional regulation, and stress adaptability.
• Below 35 → Low Cortisol
  May signal adrenal fatigue or burnout. Common signs include low energy, brain fog, immune weakness, and poor stress tolerance.
• Above 65 → High Cortisol
  Suggests elevated stress response. This can show up as anxiety, poor sleep, hormonal imbalances, or feeling “tired but wired.”

The Inflammation Score reflects your body’s energetic response to internal or external inflammatory stressors, such as food sensitivities, toxins, stress, or hidden infections. It measures how much chronic or “silent” inflammation may be affecting your overall system.

What It Assesses:

• Whole-body inflammatory load
• Stress on key organs (gut, liver, joints, immune system)
• Your body's ability to regulate and recover from inflammation

While acute inflammation is short-term and protective, chronic inflammation can quietly disrupt energy, immunity, digestion, and hormonal balance—often without obvious symptoms.

Your Inflammation Score reflects how much energetic stress your body is experiencing due to inflammation. It gives insight into whether your system is in a state of calm, under moderate stress, or actively inflamed—based on how your key organs and tissues are responding.

QRT Score Interpretation (0–100)

• 0–30 → Optimal
  Your body is in a low-inflammatory state. This suggests strong immune regulation, efficient detoxification, and minimal internal stress.
• 31–75 → Moderate Inflammation
  This range indicates the presence of mild to moderate inflammatory activity. It may be related to food sensitivities, stress, toxins, or early gut and immune system dysregulation. Supportive interventions are recommended.
• 76–100 → High Inflammation
  A high score suggests your system is under significant inflammatory stress. This can contribute to fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, skin flare-ups, or chronic discomfort. Proactive anti-inflammatory support is strongly advised.

Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the human body, found in the skin, bones, joints, tendons, and connective tissues. It acts as the scaffolding that holds the body together, providing strength, elasticity, and support to tissues and organs.

Key Roles of Collagen:

• Maintains skin firmness and elasticity
• Strengthens joints, bones, and ligaments
• Supports wound healing and tissue repair
• Promotes healthy hair, nails, and blood vessels

Collagen production naturally declines with age and can also be reduced by stress, poor diet, smoking, or UV exposure—leading to signs of aging, joint stiffness, and slower recovery.

Your Collagen Score reflects how your body is energetically resonating with collagen—the key structural protein that supports your skin, joints, bones, and connective tissue.

In Quantum Response Testing (QRT), this score gives insight into how well your body is producing, utilizing, or responding to collagen at the energetic level.

QRT Score Interpretation (0–100)

• 35–65 → Balanced
  Your body shows a healthy resonance with collagen. This suggests optimal structural support, elasticity, and tissue repair capacity.
• Below 35 → Low Collagen Resonance
  May indicate a deficiency in collagen or poor absorption/synthesis. This can be due to aging, low protein intake, poor digestion, or lack of nutrients like vitamin C, zinc, or amino acids.
  Possible signs: skin thinning, joint pain, slower healing, brittle nails.
• Above 65 → Elevated or Imbalanced Collagen Response
  Could suggest your body is under repair stress (e.g., inflammation or injury), breaking down collagen too rapidly, or overwhelmed by collagen supplementation.
  Possible signs: puffiness, stiffness, or poor collagen metabolism.

Hyaluronic acid is a gel-like substance naturally produced by the body, found in high concentrations in the skin, joints, eyes, and connective tissue. Its primary function is to retain moisture—it can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water—making it essential for hydration, lubrication, and tissue repair.

Key Roles of Hyaluronic Acid:

• Hydrates skin and maintains elasticity
• Lubricates joints and cushions movement
• Supports wound healing and tissue regeneration
• Protects against oxidative stress in the skin and eyes

As we age or experience inflammation, natural levels of hyaluronic acid decline, which can lead to dry skin, joint discomfort, and visible signs of aging.

Your Hyaluronic Acid Score reflects how your body is energetically resonating with hyaluronic acid—a key molecule responsible for hydration, lubrication, and tissue repair in the skin, joints, and connective tissue.

QRT Score Interpretation (0–100)

• 35–65 → Balanced
  Your body is in healthy resonance with hyaluronic acid. This suggests good hydration, skin elasticity, joint cushioning, and tissue recovery.
• Below 35 → Low Resonance or Deficiency
  May indicate your body is not producing or utilizing hyaluronic acid efficiently.
  Possible signs: dry skin, joint stiffness, fine lines, reduced elasticity.
• Above 65 → Overload or Misuse
  Could suggest poor clearance, over-supplementation, or inflammation-driven breakdown.
  Possible signs: puffiness, water retention, tissue congestion.

Ghrelin is a hunger-regulating hormone produced primarily in the stomach. Often referred to as the “hunger hormone,” it signals the brain to increase appetite and food intake—especially when the stomach is empty.

Key Roles of Ghrelin:

• Stimulates appetite and increases food-seeking behavior
• Signals hunger to the brain through the hypothalamus
• Helps regulate energy balance and body weight
• Influences digestion and gastric motility
• Plays a role in sleep, mood, and glucose metabolism

Ghrelin levels rise before meals and fall after eating. When out of balance, it can lead to overeating, cravings, or reduced appetite—depending on whether levels are too high or too low.

Your Ghrelin Score reflects how your body is energetically resonating with ghrelin—the hormone responsible for signaling hunger, regulating appetite, and maintaining energy balance.

QRT Score Interpretation (0–100)

• 35–65 → Balanced
  Indicates your hunger signals and metabolic rhythms are in healthy alignment. You likely experience natural appetite cues and energy regulation.
• Below 35 → Low Ghrelin Resonance
  May suggest a suppressed appetite or disrupted hunger signaling—possibly due to chronic stress, restrictive dieting, adrenal fatigue, or low stomach acid.
  Possible signs: low appetite, sluggish digestion, fatigue, poor recovery.
• Above 65 → High Ghrelin Resonance
  May indicate heightened hunger signaling, blood sugar instability, emotional eating patterns, or leptin resistance.
  Possible signs: frequent hunger, cravings, difficulty feeling full, or nighttime eating.

Leptin is a hormone produced by fat cells that plays a key role in regulating appetite, metabolism, and long-term energy balance. It communicates with the brain to signal when the body has enough stored energy—helping prevent overeating.

Key Roles of Leptin:

• Signals fullness and suppresses appetite
• Regulates energy expenditure and metabolism
• Helps maintain a healthy body weight and fat storage
• Influences reproductive, thyroid, and immune function

When working properly, leptin helps maintain weight stability. However, in cases of leptin resistance—often due to chronic inflammation or excess body fat—the brain stops responding to leptin’s signal, leading to persistent hunger and difficulty losing weight.

Your Leptin Score reflects how your body is energetically resonating with leptin—the hormone that signals fullness, regulates metabolism, and helps maintain long-term weight balance.

QRT Score Interpretation (0–100)

• 35–65 → Balanced
  Indicates healthy energetic alignment with leptin. Your body is likely regulating appetite and energy use efficiently, with appropriate hunger and satiety signals.
• Below 35 → Low Leptin Resonance
  May suggest poor satiety signaling, low body fat, or disrupted hormone communication.
  Possible signs: reduced appetite, low energy, difficulty gaining weight, or hormonal imbalance.
• Above 65 → High Leptin Resonance (Possible Resistance)
  May reflect leptin resistance—where the body produces leptin, but the brain isn't responding to it.
  Possible signs: constant hunger, weight gain, cravings, fatigue, and metabolic slowdown.
