Urine Hormone Testing
Urine Hormone Testing
The DUTCH Complete takes hormone testing to a whole new level. This test looks at sex hormones and their metabolites, the overall diurnal pattern of free cortisol, and the total distribution of cortisol metabolites in addition to OATs, which provide insight into nutritional deficiencies, oxidative stress, gut dysbiosis, melatonin, neuroinflammation, and more.

What does the DUTCH Complete Hormone test measure?
The test measures these hormone metabolites from dried urine samples:
- Cortisol
- Cortisone
- Estradiol
- Estrone
- Estriol
- Progesterone
- Testosterone
- DHEA and DHEA-S
- Melatonin
In addition, the test measures organic acid markers that shed light on B vitamin status, oxidative stress, gut dysbiosis, glutathione levels, and neurotransmitters, all of which play a part in optimal hormone function.
Why measure all these hormones?
There are lots of reasons!
If you have adrenal issues (manifesting as sleep, stress, anxiety, depression, or energy problems), testing your adrenal hormones and their rhythms gives definitive information on how to handle these problems. We are specifically looking at your adrenal-brain communication, known as your HPA axis (hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal).
With fertility problems, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), fibroids, PMS, irregular periods, painful periods, moodiness, and endometriosis, this test is highly beneficial. It gives a complete picture of how adrenal and reproductive hormone imbalances contribute to these problems. We never know what the PCOS hormone picture is without testing.
If you use hormone replacement therapy, it’s important to monitor your levels. This test works uniquely well for oral progesterone, vaginal hormones, patches, pellets, and injections. Note that this is only for hormone replacement therapy, not hormonal birth control pills!
With sleep problems, it’s important to check melatonin and cortisol. If melatonin is low, or cortisol is high, either of these situations can cause sleep problems.
You may have low DHEA levels. This is a “feel-good” hormone produced by your adrenal glands. When it’s low, it can cause fatigue, a decrease in muscle mass or bone density, depression, aching joints, loss of libido, and lowered immunity.
You may have “estrogen dominance.” This is when the scales are tipped so that progesterone is low, and estrogen is high. Estrogen dominance can be a factor in endometriosis, PMS, painful periods, fibrous breasts, fibroids, tender breasts, moodiness, and more. It can also make perimenopause symptoms significantly worse.
This test shows how you metabolize estrogen through your liver. If you don’t metabolize estrogen well, your risks of estrogen-related cancers such as breast, cervical and uterine cancer can increase.
THIS IS WHY THIS TEST IS A MUST FOR ALL WOMEN WITH MENSTRUAL CYCLES OR ON HORMONE REPLACEMENT.
What does this test involve?
It’s easy! The kit contains paper strips that you dip in your urine at specific times over 24 hours. When the strips are dry, you mail them off in the enclosed envelope. In about two weeks you’ll receive a 16-page report. (See a sample report here.) You can use these results to get an accurate picture of your hormones and intervene if needed in a precise and personalized way. No more guessing!

Gut Microbiome Testing
The GI‑MAP (Microbial Assay Plus) is unique in the field of comprehensive stool testing.
Gut Microbiome Testing relies exclusively on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to detect parasites, bacteria, fungi, and more, by targeting the specific DNA of the organisms tested.

Food Sensitivities Test
The Mediator Release Test (MRT) is considered the highest standard of food sensitivity tests currently available. It’s a simple, patented blood test that identifies our body’s reactions to 140 foods and 30 food chemicals by measuring the number of mediators released and the subsequent changes in white blood cells.

Hormone Therapy for Women
Ladies, does the approach of your period fill you with dread due to severe cramps, unpredictable mood fluctuations, and bloating that hampers your productivity and has you yearning for the comfort of your bed?
Are you noticing more hair in your brush and a noticeably thinner ponytail without understanding the cause?

Hormone Therapy for Men
Testosterone levels generally peak during adolescence and early adulthood. As you age, your testosterone level gradually declines — typically about 1% a year after age 30 or 40. For older men, it's important to determine if a low testosterone level is due to normal aging or if it is due to a disease (hypogonadism)

Thyroid Testing
Unlike conventional medicine, we conduct an extensive thyroid panel, assessing TSH, Free T4, Free T3, reverse T3, TPO antibodies, and antiTG antibodies, to gain an understanding of your thyroid health.
We also explore potential underlying issues that might impact your thyroid hormone utilization, such as stress, inflammation, and digestive disturbances.

Female Cycle Mapping
For some women, testing reproductive hormones (progesterone, estrogen, etc.) on a single day is sufficient. In other scenarios, the clinical picture cannot be properly captured without “mapping” out the hormonal pattern throughout their menstrual cycle. The expected pattern of hormones shows relatively low estrogen levels early in the cycle, a surge around ovulation and modest levels in the latter third of the cycle (the luteal phase).

Peptides
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that our body naturally produces that optimize metabolic function. They act as signaling and messenger molecules within the body, instructing other cells and molecules on what functions to perform. There are over 7,000 known peptides in our bodies, and all these different peptides have a wide range of functions, including immune system health, repair, weight loss, improved cognitive function, libido, promoting healthy muscle growth and development, and many more

Stool Testing
A stool analysis is a series of tests done on a stool (feces) sample to help diagnose certain conditions affecting the digestive tract.
These conditions can include infection (such as from parasites, viruses, or bacteria), poor nutrient absorption, or cancer.

Genetic Testing
A Genetic Test (DNA test) is a medical test that can identify mutations in your genes, chromosomes or proteins.
Our Genetic Testing includes wellness profiles that provide valuable information about your physical endurance, injury recovery, food sensitivity, eating behavior & weight gain/loss pattern, and detoxification.

Blood Spot Testing
Sample Collection of the blood spots is a relatively simple and nearly painless procedure that can be done at home or by the health care practitioner.
A simple nick of the finger followed by placing blood drops on a filter card is all that is needed.

Saliva Testing
Saliva testing is a non-invasive collection method where patients collect their saliva in plastic tubes in order to measure hormones like cortisol, estrogens, progesterone, and androgens.
This non-invasive saliva collection is ideal for patients because it allows them to collect their sample in the privacy of their home or office.
