Dutch Complete® Hormone Test & Analysis

The DUTCH Complete® (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) provides a detailed picture of your hormone health, helping us understand not only your hormone levels but also how your body is producing, metabolising and clearing them.

The test offers valuable insights into:

  • Hormonal balance, including oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone

  • Your body's stress response by assessing daily cortisol patterns

  • Hormone metabolism, showing how your body processes and eliminates hormones

  • Potential factors contributing to symptoms such as fatigue, anxiety, mood changes, poor sleep and PMS

  • Patterns that may be affecting your energy, resilience and overall wellbeing

Combined with a comprehensive review of your health history, I'll interpret your results and translate them into practical, personalised nutrition, lifestyle and supplement recommendations, helping you better understand your body and support your hormones and mental health, naturally.

Testing doesn't provide all the answers, but it can provide valuable pieces of the puzzle, allowing us to make more informed and personalised decisions about your health.
