The DUTCH™ Tests (includes the Complete, Plus, Adrenal, Sex Hormones, and Cycle Mapping), which provides a comprehensive look at your adrenal hormones and sex hormones.
These clinically scientifically peer reviewed hormone tests are also used in BHRT clinics and used by functionally minded medical practitioners worldwide.
The DUTCH Complete™ is the flagship DUTCH Test. This test gives a comprehensive assessment of 35 yes, 35 biomarkers including:
- Oestrogen (neither men nor women want too much)
- Oestrogen metabolites (how you break down and detoxify oestrogen)
- Testosterone (both men and women need to have enough)
- Progesterone (essential for fertility and in perimenopause)
- DHEA (a sex hormone precursor)
- Free and Metabolised Cortisol (health and output of your adrenal glands)
- Melatonin (an antioxidant that helps you sleep and more)
- Methylation activity (a marker of detoxification)
- Plus insight into neurotransmitters, nutritional status, organic acids, toxicity, gut health marker, oxidative stress markers and more!
Indications
This test is helpful if you are struggling with symptoms like:
- Hot flashes
- Fertility concerns
- Difficult periods
- Perimenopause
- Menopause
- Oestrogen dominance
- Chronic fatigue conditions
- Burnout
- Autoimmune conditions
- Gut and digestive issues
So we can assess YOUR biochemistry.
Why should I get a DUTCH test?
Some clients have visited the GP and some have not achieved the information or hormone balance they have been looking for.
What extra the Dutch hormone test does:
hormone blood tests (which we also run in conjunction) do not measure how the body is processing or detoxing hormones such as oestrogen - this is important because we need to see that you’re going down a safe pathway or that one is not to oestrogenic (too much oestrogen)
testing cortisol, blood only provides a snapshot in time, whereas urine follows a circadian rhythm which is essential to note when comparing cortisol levels, it also tests metabolised cortisol so overall production rather than just free cortisol
the medical model simply does not have time to work with the individual from a whole health perspective - we address your nutrition, lifestyle, stressors, gut, liver, detox, sleep, movement, mineral imbalances, nervous system regulation, and more
Comparing hormone blood with hormone urine levels
Urinary levels can be influenced by metabolism. Urine is a filtrate of circulating blood levels and is therefore deemed to correlate with blood. However, it is helpful to measure both sample types to assess potential metabolism issues. Having both sample types offers us a deeper layer of insight so we can support you.
What you get
With our Dutch test package, you get 1:1 intake consultation and a result session going through your results and recommendations, with a comprehensive written report plus 1:1 coaching throughout.
We also run peri/meno and adrenal support programs among others.
We work alongside conventional medicine, our background is in functional medicine and conventional medicine for many years, so IF appropriate, we will educate you on body identical HRT too or any other appropriate meds.
So book a DUTCH test with us and we will review your hormones in depth, and make recommendations on ways to balance your hormones and health.
