Episode Description
Have you ever heard the DUTCH test is the gold standard for hormone testing?
Are you looking for hormone testing, and are considering getting a DUTCH test?
Maybe your practitioner recommended it. Maybe you’ve seen functional medicine influencers promoting it. Or maybe you’ve been thinking… “If I could just see my hormone levels, then I’d finally know what’s wrong.”
Here’s the problem: The DUTCH test absolutely is the best hormone test out there that I know of - but can it actually tell you what to do to HEAL your symptoms?
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down:
- What the DUTCH test is
- Why it’s actually the weakest of all the functional medicine tests when it comes to real healing
- When doing the DUTCH test is actually helpful
- And, if you're not going to do a DUTCH test, what I recommend you do instead
If you’ve been frustrated by hormone symptoms that won’t go away, or you’ve tried “fixing” your hormones without success — this episode is going to give you a whole new perspective.
