DUTCH Testing

Dried Urine Hormone tests provide detailed answers to all your hormonal questions

DUTCH Hormone Testing – Get to the Root of Your Hormonal Mayhem

Hormones — those tiny chemical messengers that run the show. When they’re in balance, life hums along. When they’re out of whack? Cue the mood swings, mystery weight gain, acne breakouts, fatigue, insomnia, migraines, and “why am I crying over a tortilla commercial” moments.

While fertility struggles, menstrual issues, and menopause symptoms are the obvious hormone red flags, the truth is that hormonal imbalances can cause a wide range of sneaky symptoms. That’s why I love using DUTCH testing (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) in my practice — it’s like a full detective work-up for your endocrine system.

What’s a DUTCH Test?
You’ll collect 5 little urine samples in one day (easy peasy — no needles, no awkward lab visits). From those, we get a detailed map of your estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and even your estrogen detox pathways. It also shows how your body is converting and using stress hormones, which is huge for figuring out why you might feel wired, tired, or both.

Why it’s so useful:
You don’t always need to jump straight to hormone replacement therapy. Many imbalances can be corrected naturally with targeted Chinese herbs, supplements, acupuncture, and nutrition. DUTCH testing lets me pinpoint exactly which hormones are misbehaving — and why — so we can get them back in line without the guesswork.

Hormonal issues that benefit from DUTCH testing:

  • Endometriosis

  • PCOS

  • Menopause & perimenopause symptoms

  • Infertility (female & male)

  • PMS & PMDD

  • Erectile dysfunction

  • Hair loss

  • Acne

  • Migraines

  • Insomnia

  • Chronic fatigue

  • Anxiety

  • Difficulty losing weight

The bottom line: DUTCH tests are simple, affordable, and insanely helpful for figuring out why you’re feeling off — and how to fix it naturally. I keep them stocked in my clinic for in-person patients, and I also offer phone consultations for those who live outside Durango.

Your hormones don’t have to be the boss of you — let’s get them behaving again.
