Hormone Health
It’s never too early to start learning about your hormones.
Many hormone levels, such as estrogen and testosterone, start to drift downward when you’re in your twenties. Those in their early thirties may feel increasingly tense and overwhelmed, in need of better strategies on how to relax. Women in their fifties and sixties may want to regain some of their youth and wake up feeling restored without the brain fog from disrupted sleep. Women in their sixties, seventies, and eighties may want to optimize their cognitive functioning to improve their thinking & memory.
Many women & men suffer from hormonal imbalances
Many women and men suffer from hormonal imbalances. Whether it is menopause, weight gain, fatigue, low libido, premenstrual symptoms (PMS), mood swings, or depression, these symptoms can lead to more serious problems if misdiagnosed. Identifying the root cause of chronic health issues is certainly correctable, but only if properly identified. Hormone imbalances in men and weight gain are linked, as high estrogen and low testosterone contribute to a loss of muscle mass and increased abdominal fat. Other symptoms include: Sexual problems such as low semen volume, low libido, and erectile dysfunction
The DUTCHTest® was created to provide insight into many of these concerns, working to deliver the most complete assessment of sex and adrenal hormones, along with their metabolites, in one easy to administer test. No blood to draw, spitting in tubes, or filling up jugs of urine. Our dried urine collection process is great for baseline measurements of women with hormonal imbalances and for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) monitoring.
