In these packages we utilise the DUTCH test. The DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) test is a cutting-edge tool for evaluating hormonal health. By analysing hormone metabolites over a 24-hour period through dried urine samples, it provides a detailed and accurate picture of hormone levels and their pathways. This approach is particularly useful for understanding the hormonal changes associated with perimenopause and menopause.

Key Benefits of the DUTCH Test

  1. Comprehensive Hormonal Insights:

    • Assesses levels of oestrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and their metabolites.

    • Offers a deeper understanding of how your body produces and processes hormones, including adrenal gland contributions.

  2. Identifies Underlying Imbalances:

    • Detects slow oestrogen metabolism, which may increase the risk of hormonally driven cancers and various other hormone related symptoms. Dietary and supplement interventions can improve oestrogen detoxification.

    • Highlights chronic stress through elevated cortisol levels, which may contribute to adrenal fatigue and symptoms like fatigue and mood swings.

  3. Risk Assessment:

    • Elevated oestrogen metabolites can signal higher risks of oestrogen-related cancers.

    • Imbalanced cortisol metabolites can reveal adrenal dysfunction, influencing stress and energy levels.

  4. Functional Medicine Approach:

    • DUTCH test results are valuable for creating personalised, holistic plans that address the interaction of hormones, nutrition, stress, and lifestyle. These plans often include stress management, dietary adjustments, supplements, and other interventions to optimise long-term health.

By identifying specific hormonal imbalances and their root causes, the DUTCH test empowers individuals to take a proactive and tailored approach to managing their health during perimenopause and beyond.

Investing in long-term health is the best gift we can give ourselves and our loved ones. It’s not about an ideal body, but about feeling supported, strong, and ready to embrace the years ahead.
