What is the DUTCH Complete Hormone Testing?

You may be encountering some of the following symptoms along with others. Understanding your hormone levels is crucial for effectively utilizing the "food as medicine" approach. With so much online information, trying the latest hormone supplement or food trend can be tempting. However, stopping the DIY approach and truly comprehending your hormones is vital. The hormone test involves collecting urine samples throughout the day after ovulation for a comprehensive and detailed look at your hormonal health.

This test provides a deeper understanding of your hormones than traditional blood work and is essential for your overall well-being. The DUTCH Complete test is a comprehensive assessment tool that examines a patient's hormone levels to provide essential information for hormone therapy monitoring or baseline hormone evaluations. Its innovative techniques enhance the tracking of vaginal hormones and oral progesterone.

The DUTCH Test® is a straightforward and efficient test that evaluates sex and adrenal hormones and their metabolites in a single test. Unlike other tests, there is no need for collecting large amounts of urine samples, spitting into tubes, or drawing blood. Our dried urine collection process is beneficial for women with hormonal imbalances who need baseline measurements and for monitoring any changes in diet and lifestyle, along with any other treatments prescribed by your health care provider (e.g., Hormone Replacement Therapy/HRT).

After receiving the DUTCH Test®, you and your dietitian can collaborate to monitor and evaluate hormone levels to ensure optimal balance. You'll have clarity on your body's needs, eliminating the guesswork of taking random hormone supplements. Discover how food can act as medicine with guidance on what to eat, how much, and whether fasting is right for you. Gain insight into how lifestyle habits such as exercise and stress impact your hormones.

The DUTCH test will reveal potential issues with your mitochondria, where hormone production begins. If you're experiencing fertility or period problems, the DUTCH test will pinpoint the root cause. Liver detoxification is also a crucial factor for overall health, and the DUTCH test provides valuable insights in this area.
