DUTCH Hormone Testing
Decode your hormones. Reclaim your rhythm. Restore your power.
​
In the healing journeys I witness every day, I’ve found that when someone understands their body’s hormonal rhythms — their true patterns — there’s often a deep exhale. Clarity opens a door. And from that clarity, we begin to rebuild balance and trust.
The DUTCH test is one of the tools I use to support this unfolding.
​
What Is the DUTCH Test?
DUTCH stands for Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones. It’s a non-invasive, advanced test that shows us:
• Reproductive hormone levels: estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA
• Adrenal rhythm and cortisol curve
• Hormone metabolism and detoxification
• Nutrient and neurotransmitter markers
It provides a full 24-hour map — not just a moment in time — to help uncover the deeper rhythms of your health.
​
Types of Hormone Tests Offered

​
2. DUTCH Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) Test
This test measures how your cortisol shifts in the first hour of waking — a critical pattern that reflects how your body responds to the stress of waking and engaging with the world.

Why These Tests Matter
Hormones don’t work in isolation. They’re deeply connected to your nervous system, environment, relationships, nourishment, and inner landscape.
​
These tests aren’t about “fixing” you — they’re about seeing you clearly. With that clarity, we can create support that is precise, kind, and aligned with your life.
​
When your results come in, we’ll sit together. You’ll receive a full interpretation with recommendations that may include:
• Nourishing food and herbal support
• Gentle supplements
• Cycle-tracking and body rhythm tools
• Nervous system and somatic regulation
• Emotional integration practices
