DUTCH TEST
for perimenopause & midlife
Not feeling yourself but you've been told everything is "normal"? Find out exactly what your hormones are doing with the DUTCH test
Don't guess, test. Get clarity on why you feel the way you do with the DUTCH test
You’re tired. Confused. Frustrated. You’ve read all the things, tried all the supplements, maybe even started HRT - yet something still feels off.
Your GP says everything looks “normal.” But you don’t feel normal. You feel wired, tired, bloated, moody, foggy, or just not you.
​
This is exactly where the DUTCH Complete Hormone Test comes in. (There are other variations but this is the one you want when you're in your menopause era).
​
DUTCH stands for Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones. It’s a simple, at-home test that gives you the most complete picture of your hormone health - far beyond what a standard blood test can show. Instead of one snapshot, the DUTCH test collects samples four times over 24 hours, so we can see how your hormones rise and fall through the day (and night). You’ll literally pee on a bit of filter paper, let it dry, and post it off - easy to do from home, work, or even on holiday.
The lab then analyses your samples for key hormones and their metabolites, including:
-
Oestrogens – estradiol, estrone, and estriol
-
Progesterone
-
Testosterone and DHEA
-
Cortisol and cortisone (your stress hormones)
-
Melatonin (your sleep-wake hormone)
-
Oestrogen metabolism pathways (how safely your body detoxes hormones)
-
Nutrient markers such as B6, B12, biotin and glutathione
Why choose the DUTCH test in menopause or perimenopause?
Because this is the stage when everything starts to feel unpredictable.
Your oestrogen and progesterone are fluctuating wildly, cortisol is running the show, and you’re left guessing what’s really going on. The DUTCH test ends the guesswork.
It shows you:
-
How your stress response may be affecting energy, mood, and sleep
-
Whether you’re clearing oestrogen safely or recycling it (which can worsen symptoms)
-
If low progesterone is behind your anxiety or restless nights
-
How testosterone and DHEA are influencing motivation, libido, and muscle tone
-
The connection between your cortisol rhythm and midlife weight gain
In other words: it’s your personalised hormone map; a starting point to understand your body again.
It's for women who feel overwhelmed (and want clarity)
Most of my clients come to me feeling like they’ve tried everything: podcasts, supplements, fasting, caffeine, you name it. They’re exhausted from guessing.
The DUTCH test gives you facts, not fads.
You’ll stop wondering what’s wrong with me? and start understanding what your hormones are actually doing so you can make changes that matter.
What can the DUTCH test tell you about your hormones?​
The DUTCH test offers insights you simply can’t get from a GP blood test:
-
Cortisol rhythm – reveals if stress is keeping you wired at night or wiped out by afternoon
-
Oestrogen metabolism – shows how efficiently you detoxify hormones
-
Progesterone balance – helps explain mood and sleep changes
-
Androgen levels – link to motivation, libido and body composition
-
Melatonin and oxidative stress – clues for sleep, recovery and ageing
Why it matters in midlife
Your hormones don’t just control periods. They influence metabolism, sleep, brain chemistry, and even how your body handles stress. When these systems go out of sync, life feels harder than it should.
The DUTCH test helps us bring clarity to the chaos so we can create a plan that restores balance, energy and confidence.
