DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones)

DUTCH testing (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) offers a deeper look into your body’s hormonal health than standard blood tests. It not only measures hormone levels but also how your body is metabolizing them—providing insight into patterns that may be contributing to fatigue, mood changes, weight gain, poor sleep, skin issues, or fertility struggles. Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, dealing with irregular cycles, or simply curious about optimizing your health, DUTCH testing gives you a clear picture of what’s going on under the surface—so we can create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.

DUTCH stands for Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones. This cutting-edge test goes beyond traditional blood work by measuring not only your hormone levels but also how your body is metabolizing them. It provides a complete snapshot of your sex hormones, adrenal function, cortisol rhythms, melatonin, neurotransmitter metabolites, and more.

DUTCH testing is ideal for anyone experiencing:

• Irregular or painful menstrual cycles

• PMS or PMDD

• Perimenopause or menopause symptoms

• Infertility or trouble conceiving

• Chronic fatigue or burnout

• Anxiety, depression, or mood swings

• Poor sleep or insomnia

• Adrenal dysfunction

• PCOS or endometriosis

• Unexplained weight gain or stubborn belly fat

• Brain fog or low motivation

Unlike conventional hormone tests, DUTCH provides:

• More complete data: It tracks hormone production and how your body breaks those hormones down. 

• Daily cortisol rhythm: Reveals how stress impacts your body throughout the day and can possibly be contributing to symptoms or conditions you are experiencing.

• Sleep and mood insight: Measures melatonin and neurotransmitter metabolites like dopamine and serotonin

• Take the guesswork out and get actionable results: Getting to the root helps guide personalized treatment strategies using acupuncture, herbs, nutrition, and lifestyle changes
