Welcome back to the Happily Hormonal Podcast. In this episode, I am really excited to dive into hormone testing, more specifically DUTCH testing.DUTCH testing is the hormone test that I use most often with my clients, and I'm going to give you the lowdown on what it is, and how to know if you need it or if you can balance your hormones without testing. Plus, I'm going to go over a real DUTCH test that I recently received from one of my clients just to help you understand some of the things that might show up if you decide to get one. In this episode:

  • [02:27] What is DUTCH testing? And why I prefer it to other hormone tests
  • [05:41] Who I would recommend DUTCH testing for
  • [10:18] Understanding the results of a real DUTCH test
  • [20:24] How cortisol affects your body
  • [23:30] Bonus markers in the DUTCH test – like B12, dopamine, and neuroinflammation markers
