762. What Your Regular Hormone Labs Can't Tell You

In this episode of the Female Health Solution Podcast, I break down one of the biggest frustrations women face: Your labs come back "normal," yet you still feel exhausted, inflamed, moody, or nothing like yourself, and no one can explain why.

Here's what we cover: Why basic blood work misses the real problem

• Regular labs look for disease, not dysfunction.

• A standard CBC or hormone panel can't show how your hormones are produced, processed, or eliminated.

• Blood tests catch crises, not the early warning signs of perimenopause, adrenal burnout, or estrogen dominance.

What DUTCH urine hormone testing reveals that blood work can't

• All three estrogens: E1, E2, and E3

• Phase 1 and Phase 2 estrogen detox (your liver pathways)

• Methylation which is a major cause of PMS, migraines, brain fog, and mood swings

• Cortisol rhythm throughout the day

• Nutrient deficiencies and gut-related patterns

This level of detail finally explains why you feel off and what to do about it.

Real client stories

• Sara's story: Blood labs said "you're fine." Her DUTCH test showed exactly why she had migraines, poor sleep, and terrible PMS. Within months on a targeted plan, PMS dropped by 50 percent and her menstrual migraines disappeared. At her follow-up, her clinic literally told her, "We don't know how to read this."

• Jenna's story: A mom of five determined not to be a "half version" of herself. She researched every option and realized she would have to piece together three times the number of tests to get what DUTCH shows in one report. Once she saw her results, she finally had a roadmap instead of guessing.

Why your hormone issues are never just one thing

Your genetics, stress load, pregnancies, environmental toxins, sleep, and nutrient status all intersect. DUTCH shows which pieces are breaking down: production, processing, or elimination, so you stop guessing and start targeting the right areas.

Why DUTCH is the roadmap your health has been missing

This test shows:

• Where the "holes in your boat" actually are

• Which systems need support

• What is driving your symptoms

• And exactly what to do next

Instead of random supplements, you get clarity.
