Understanding Your Hormone Imbalances

How DUTCH Hormone Testing Can Help You Navigate The Perimenopause and Postmenopause

Do any of the following sound familiar?

• You’re struggling with symptoms of hormone imbalances such as stubborn weight gain, fatigue, lack of motivation, mood swings, brain fog, very heavy periods, food cravings, poor sleep, or feeling stressed out

• You feel in the dark or concerned about what is actually happening with your hormones

• You want to manage your perimenopause and menopause in a more holistic way, either alongside, or without HRT

• Maybe you’re struggling with HRT and want to start investigating potential reasons for that, or maybe you want to do some groundwork before you start taking it. Maybe you want to prepare your body for HRT

• You’re feeling overwhelmed or confused by online advice. It’s almost as if there’s too much advice out there, so you end up feeling paralysed and not moving forward

• You’re increasingly aware that your hormones are having a negative effect on your work or personal life, or even your enjoyment of life

• You’re wondering whether that cupboard of expensive menopause supplements is actually working for you

• You just want to know what you need to do – and to make it as simple as possible

• You’ve tried hormone plans, diets, supplements and find them difficult to stick to because you’re not sure if they’re meant for you

You are absolutely not alone and this is exactly where functional testing and especially the DUTCH Complete Hormones Test can help, when paired with a full clinical review and analysis of your health history, diet and lifestyle

• It gives you answers and clear direction – even during perimenopause when your hormones are fluctuating

• This will give you some peace of mind, confidence in your ability to make changes, and will ultimately save you time, money and effort on guesswork, because you’ll have insight into how your body is actually working

• It will help you get your foundations right – giving any further treatments (including HRT if appropriate), the best chance of success.

• It measures the levels of hormones, but more importantly, how your body metabolises those hormones. This is the real key to understanding many of the symptoms of hormone imbalances.  This is also very personal to you and will be affected by your diet, lifestyle, health history and also your genetics

• You can use the information to optimise your HRT (with a medical practitioner)

• You'll be clearer about which supplements might be helpful

You really don’t have to put up with symptoms, or battle through them. With some knowledge and know-how, you can feel and look better and recover your spark.

What Does The DUTCH Test Measure?

- Your levels of 3 oestrogens (oestrodiol, oestrone, oestriol) - this will of course fluctuate during  perimenopause, but the ratios of each can provide us with added insight.

- Oestrogen Metabolites - this is the key when addressing peri-menopausal symptoms and how effectively your body detoxifies oestrogen

- Progesterone and progesterone metabolites (that can impact anxiety and poor sleep)

- Testosterone and other androgens and their metabolites, giving insight into symptoms such as acne, hair loss, increased body hair, weight loss resistance and PCOS if that is an issue.

- Markers of the status of key B vitamins, glutathione, oxidate stress (inflammation), gut dysbiosis and melatonin

- The adrenal hormones cortisol and DHEA to show how stress could be affecting hormone balance and how your body is reacting to cortisol.

As you can see, it really does cover a wide range of markers that can help you make targeted changes that will support your hormonal health, putting you in the driving seat of your menopause and future postmenopausal health.
