DUTCH Hormone Test & Hormone Balancing

The DUTCH® (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) is an advanced, non-invasive hormone assessment that provides a detailed picture of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and how these hormones are currently balanced or unbalanced in the body.

What Does D.U.T.C.H Stand For?

DUTCH stands for:

👉 Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones

It’s a hormone test that uses small dried urine samples collected throughout the day to measure:

  • Estrogen

  • Progesterone

  • Testosterone

  • Cortisol (daily rhythm)

  • DHEA

  • Hormone metabolism pathways

This allows practitioners to see not just hormone levels, but how hormones are being produced, broken down, and balanced, which helps guide nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, and medical decisions.

Why starting with a D.U.T.C.H Hormone test may be for you:

By evaluating both hormone levels and pathways, we can identify imbalances that may lead to problems and symptoms you experience, and build a personalized nutrition, mineral, supplement, and lifestyle plan that supports nervous system stability, hormone balance, and healthy aging.

Rather than guessing, this test helps explain patterns behind:

Improved fertility cycling

Sleep disruption

Mood changes and anxiety

Weight changes

Cycle irregularities

Ovulation help (if naturally possible)

Perimenopause and menopause shifts

Brain fog

Stress and adrenal gland fatigue

Fatigue and energy fluctuations

What you can expect:

With your results, we will make focused recommendations for your health:

A plan for the right supplements for you

Nutrition (maybe herbal) guidance aligned with hormone patterns

Lifestyle recommendations

Symptom correlation and evaluation

Reduced inflammation and bloating

Stabilized moods

A healthier feeling mind and body

By looking at the DUTCH test, we get insight into how your body is store hormones and where it might be off balance so we can provide information and support as needed.

Understand your hormones.

Hormones influence sleep, mood, menstrual cycles, metabolism and weight, gut health, skin and bone health, neurotransmitters in the brain, and stress resilience. When symptoms like fatigue, irregular cycles, or anxiety appear, deeper insight can guide care. Monitoring hormone patterns is especially helpful when using HRT to ensure balance. For conception, understanding hormone timing, signaling and readiness, supports ovulation, implantation, and reproductive health.

DUTCH Hormone Test Accuracy

Let's compare the information you receive from the following:

Blood serum, liquid (“wet”) urine, dried urine (DUTCH Test), and saliva testing are all tools that can be used to evaluate hormone health in the body. Each method offers different information — from current circulating levels to daily hormone production and metabolism — and varies in convenience, standardization, and clinical application.

Dried urine testing is particularly helpful for viewing the broader hormonal picture, including total daily exposure, hormone detox pathways that influence how estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol are processed. This pathway insight can help identify patterns where estrogen metabolism may be shifting in directions associated with higher symptom burden or long-term health concerns.

How It Works

  • We discover how your hormone patterns are functioning — including cortisol rhythm and sex hormone balance — which influences energy, stress response, sleep, and whether you benefit more from calming, stabilizing, or supportive strategies.

  • We identify hormone metabolism pathways connected to thyroid signaling, blood sugar regulation, stress resilience, and mood, helping reveal early signs of hormonal shifts, adrenal strain, or difficulty maintaining steady energy.

  • See relationships linked to estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone balance, including detox pathways often associated with estrogen dominance, PMS patterns, or menopausal symptoms.

  • Especially relevant when evaluating energy, fertility and conception years, perimenopause, menopause, and healthy aging.

  • Valuable for understanding mood, sleep, resilience, and how nutrition and lifestyle can support hormone health for both adults and growing teens.

This is an easy, eye-opening health test that helps you and I understand what may be thwarting your health, happy moods and more.

Support your body.

Supporting hormones means addressing nutrition, minerals, stress load, sleep, and digestion — the foundations that help hormones function well. When these areas struggle, symptoms often follow. If using HRT, monitoring ensures the body is responding appropriately. For conception, strong adrenal and metabolic support creates a more favorable environment for fertility.

Choose nutrition and supplements with clarity.

Targeted nutrition and supplements work best when guided by testing rather than guesswork. Imbalances in estrogen, progesterone, or cortisol can shift what the body needs. Monitoring is valuable when using Hormone Replacement Therapy to track health direction and effectiveness. For conception, precise nutrient support helps regulate cycles, egg quality, and hormone stability.
