Why Should You Take the DUTCH Test?
If you want to know more about your hormones and their metabolites, this is an accurate test to examine your hormones. Some reasons why a DUTCH test may be appropriate for you is after menopause if you have PCOS, menstrual difficulties, or are unsure if your depression, fatigue, sleep issues, or anxiety could be hormone-related.
Newman discusses the benefits of urine testing over blood and saliva testing since the other tests will not look at metabolites. Hence, it could look like you are producing plenty of testosterone, but the pathways may be the issue.
I used to think that bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) was always the answer, and I did not offer the DUTCH test since BHRT requires a medical doctor.
However, after learning more about hormones, I realize that BHRT is not always the answer and that resolving issues found based on the DUTCH and your symptoms can be done with dietary, supplemental, and lifestyle modifications.
The DUTCH test is in my Lab Shop. All the details can be found there.
This is a dried urine test in which you will collect your urine 4 times for dried urine strip collection. Pre-menopausal women must do the test during a specific time window in their cycle.
