Hormone testing is not the norm in mainstream medical practices.
In fact, many of my patients come to me after having been denied a request to order hormone testing or having had very minimal/basic hormone testing and then told everything “looks fine.” This is largely because there aren’t many pharmaceutical solutions for chronic hormone imbalances.
There are, on the other hand, an abundance of naturopathic solutions to hormone imbalances…enough that it makes sense for us to do comprehensive testing so I can further understand the nuances of your case.
In my practice, I offer an array of hormone panels.
One of my favorites is the DUTCH Complete. DUTCH = Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones. Comprehensive is the key word here – it’s a lot of information to give us a very solid overview of your hormonal milieu.
This test looks at a combination of sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone), adrenal hormones (like cortisol and DHEA), estrogen metabolites, detox factors, and nutrients like B6 and B12 which influence hormone production.
For more info, please set up a meet and greet call or ask me at our next appointment.
