The DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) is an advanced test that measures sex hormones, adrenal function, and hormone metabolites. Unlike standard bloodwork, it provides a fuller picture of hormone balance, cortisol patterns, and how your body is metabolizing hormones.
What Can It Help With?
DUTCH testing can be helpful for:
-
Irregular cycles or PMS
-
PCOS
-
Pre- and post-menopause transitions
-
Fatigue, sleep issues, or “burnout”
-
Mood swings, anxiety, or low motivation
-
Estrogen dominance symptoms (weight gain, heavy periods, breast tenderness, etc.)
-
Optimizing overall hormone balance
How Do I Order?
Because interpretation is just as important as the test itself, I only offer DUTCH testing as part of a 1-on-1 nutrition consultation package.
-
Book an appointment with me (initial consultation required).
-
During your session, we’ll discuss your symptoms, health history, and goals to decide if DUTCH testing is the right fit.
-
If appropriate, I’ll order the test kit for you through Precision Analytical, and it will be shipped directly to your home.
-
You’ll complete the test at home and return it to the lab in the prepaid envelope.
-
Once results are in, we’ll go over your report in detail during a follow-up session and build a personalized nutrition and lifestyle plan based on your results.
Cost & Insurance
-
DUTCH testing is not billed through insurance.
-
Prices vary by type of test (complete, cycle mapping, etc.). I can help you choose the option that best fits your needs.
-
Payment is due when ordering the kit.
