That’s the problem - it depends on the person, and some of the ways of tracking it is self reported data, like the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) questionnaire.
Cortisol and adrenaline can be measured in lab tests, but those are rarely ordered, never mind paid for by insurance.
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is the new metric du jour, and there’s a ton of apps and fitness trackers to tell you that, but I’m skeptical.
It’s the classic “the French don’t get fat” despite eating of cheese, bread, and drinking a ton of wine paradox. (Though sadly I think that’s changing as their lifestyles become more American.) Their food is high quality, they eat less of it, move more, work less, and fuck a lot (well, compared to people in the US).
