DUTCH Test Melbourne

This is the most common frustration I hear. 

Standard blood tests are useful, but they only give us a snapshot of what is floating in your bloodstream at a single moment. 

They do not tell us how your body is metabolising or breaking down those hormones. 

The DUTCH test shows us the full picture. It reveals not just how much hormone you are producing, but exactly how your body is using it. 

This is often where the hidden causes of your symptoms are found

I understand that the cost is a factor. 

However, I want you to consider the cost of the supplements you have bought that didn't work, the appointments that led to dead ends, and the days lost to exhaustion. 

The DUTCH test is an investment in stopping the guessing game. By pinpointing the exact root cause of your issues, we can create a plan that works the first time. 

This saves you time, money, and frustration in the long run. 

No. 

My goal is always to fix the imbalance so your body can take over. 

We use the protocol to restore your reserves and retrain your stress response. 

Once your foundations are rebuilt, we move to a maintenance phase where whole foods and lifestyle habits keep you healthy. 

In most cases, yes, but only for a short time. 

Certain supplements like Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, or Vitex can influence the results. 

When we book your test, I will give you a clear list of what to pause and for how long. 

If you are on bio-identical hormones or oral contraceptives, we will discuss the best timing for your test to ensure we get a clear reading of your baseline levels

Not at all. The entire test is done from the comfort of your own home. 

There are no needles and no driving to a collection centre. You simply collect urine samples on filter paper strips at specific times over a 24-hour period. 

Once they are dry, you mail them back in the provided envelope. I will walk you through exactly when to take the samples to ensure we get accurate results.

While it is famous for women's health, this test is incredibly powerful for men as well. 

Men suffer from burnout, fatigue, and hormonal shifts, too. 

The DUTCH test measures testosterone patterns, estrogen dominance in men, and cortisol levels. It is an excellent tool for any man dealing with high stress, low drive, or chronic fatigue.

Saliva testing is good for measuring "free" hormones, but it misses a crucial piece of the puzzle. It cannot show us the metabolites. 

Knowing your metabolites is essential because it tells us which pathways your body prefers. 

For example, it can show if your body is clearing estrogen safely or if it is sending it down a pathway that causes heavy periods and mood swings. 

The DUTCH test combines the best of both worlds to give us the most complete data available.
