Why Consider DUTCH Testing at Candescent?
DUTCH, which stands for Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones, is not your standard hormone test. Instead of just skimming the surface, it dives deep into hormones and their metabolites using urine samples, offering a richer and more detailed portrait of your hormonal landscape than traditional blood tests will offer.
Here are some reasons a DUTCH test may be right for you:
Identifying Hormonal Shifts: From estrogen and progesterone to cortisol and melatonin, DUTCH can pinpoint where imbalances might be causing symptoms like mood swings, fatigue, or sleep issues.
Tracking Adrenal Health: By mapping out your cortisol levels, we can gain insights into adrenal functionality, potentially explaining sensations of fatigue or heightened anxiety.
Menopausal Journey: As women transition into menopause or perimenopause, DUTCH becomes a beacon, guiding us in developing strategies to find balance and comfort.
Understanding PCOS: For our patients with PCOS, the test can shed light on hormone fluctuations that might be triggering symptoms such as irregular cycles or skin breakouts.
By offering tests like DUTCH and other comprehensive hormonal metabolite tests, we can gain a better understanding of your hormonal health. Whether it's suggesting lifestyle tweaks, recommending dietary shifts, or introducing supplements, our ultimate goal is to foster a harmonious hormonal balance that enriches your life and eases your discomforts.
