DUTCH hormone testing has new hormone markers! The DUTCH test not only the hormones but also the metabolism of those hormones. One of the things that DUTCH tests for is dopamine levels which goes on to create norepinephrine!  The DUTCH test will show you where the hormone is imbalanced along the metabolism pathways so you can really pin point what needs to be worked on. It isn’t just a matter of if you have higher or lower hormones, but rather WHERE those hormones are having issues. DUTCH Test: https://drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/
