If you feel “hormonal” but your standard blood tests keep coming back as “fine”, this is usually where I look next.
A DUTCH test is a detailed urine test that shows:
• Oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone levels • How you’re breaking down and clearing those hormones • Cortisol patterns across the day • Melatonin, which can impact sleep and recovery
This can help explain things like heavy or painful periods, PMS, low mood, poor sleep, anxiety, low libido, energy crashes and perimenopause symptoms that don’t quite add up on a basic blood test. Once we have this information, we can:
• Adjust nutrition to support hormone detoxification • Work on stress, nervous system regulation and sleep • Look at appropriate supplements (if they’re needed) • Help you have a more informed conversation with your GP or consultant
If you’re feeling “not yourself” and don’t know where to start, DUTCH testing can give us real answers instead of guesses. Send me a message with “DUTCH” if you’d like to chat through whether it’s right for you. 💚
