EPISODE 177: Is your hormonal health still a mystery to you? Then you might want to give the DUTCH test a try!
The DUTCH test (or Dried Urine Testing for Comprehensive Hormones test) is a great way to reveal hidden hormone imbalances that standard blood tests may miss, particularly in estrogen metabolism and cortisol patterns.
The test's ability to show hormone metabolite patterns allows for more personalized and effective treatment plans, especially for people suffering from conditions like PCOS, adrenal fatigue, and menopause.
And that’s exactly why I love the DUTCH test and use it with a lot of my clients.
To dive deeper into this, I’ve invited an expert on the podcast, the amazing Dr. Kelly Ruef.
Dr. Ruef is a licensed naturopathic doctor and clinical educator at Precision Analytical, the inventors of the DUTCH test.
In this episode, she’ll be breaking down what makes the DUTCH test different from other standard blood tests, why adrenal support is essential for women, especially ones experiencing menopause, how the DUTCH test can help treat PCOS, and more.
Are you ready?
