Are you living with a hormone imbalance or impaired detoxification pathways?

​

Millions of women suffer from hormone imbalances. Whether it is menopause, weight gain, fatigue, low libido, premenstrual symptoms (PMS), mood swings, or depression, these symptoms can lead to more serious problems if misdiagnosed. 

The DUTCH Test® was created to provide insight into many of these concerns, working to deliver the most complete assessment of sex and adrenal hormones, along with their metabolites, in one easy-to-administer test. No blood to draw, spitting in tubes, or filling up jugs of urine. Our dried urine collection process is great for baseline measurements of women with hormonal imbalances and for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) monitoring.

 

Understanding your personal hormone profile can save you money, confusion, angst, and time. This insight empowers you to determine the most beneficial supplements, exercise types, nutrition, and lifestyle adjustments for your wellness, allowing you to feel energetic, healthy, and vital.

An advanced DUTCH Test conveniently delivered to your doorstep and conducted in the privacy of your home, can detect hormonal imbalances and identify 

In a follow-up consultation with Lou, you have the opportunity to fully understand your current hormone profile and explore how changes to nutrition, stress management, physical activity, and daily supplements can most benefit you.

​

The Advanced DUTCH Test can be ordered online through a medical screening company and is mailed to your preferred address. Once you've collected your samples as per the instructions in the test kit, you mail them to the laboratory using the provided reply package. Your sample is analysed by one of Australia’s leading pathology laboratories accredited by the National Association Testing Authority (NATA). Experienced medical professionals interpret your results, ensuring a safe and reliable service.

Once the results become available (usually 10-15 days later), you can book your online consultation with Lou to discuss your results and learn how to support your hormones effectively!

Advantages of Dried Urine Testing:

Urine reflects free, bio-available hormone levels (unlike blood, which measures isolated levels in your blood only).

Baseline hormone levels can be assessed, and appropriate nutrition and supplements can be recommended, monitored, and adjusted.

The process is simple, painless, non-invasive, informative and can be done at home.

​

The Advanced DUTCH Check analyses the following aspects of your hormones:

• Stress hormones four times a day to assess your circadian rhythm

• Metabolites of your stress hormones which are a good indicator of the stress your entire body is experiencing

• Other adrenal hormones which help assess the HPA axis activity

• Melatonin otherwise known as the “sleep” hormone

• Female hormones and their metabolites which informs various diseases including oestrogen dominance

• Male hormones and their metabolites to look for signs of a hormone imbalance
