What are my hormone and thyroid testing options?

DUTCH TEST- Advanced Dried Urine Hormone Profile​: This is the most comprehensive hormonal testing
 

This test will measure and identify: Estrogens (x13), Progestagens (x7), Androgens (x6), Glucocorticoids (x4), free Cortisol (x4), free Cortisone (x4), and Melatonin (x4).

 

The advanced hormone profile is collected off four separate dried urine samples at key time points throughout the same day: 1st morning, 2nd morning, early evening, and bedtime. Urine is collected on filter paper strips either by dipping it in urine collected in a cup, or by urinating directly on the strip.

​

Female or Male Hormone Profile Extensive- Saliva

(Optionally you may add stress/ adrenal hormones to these panels)

​

Saliva testing is an easy and noninvasive way of assessing your hormone balancing needs, and is proving to be the most reliable medium for measuring hormone levels. Unlike blood tests, male and female saliva hormone tests measure only hormones actively delivered to receptors in the body, which is more relevant to test these bio-available hormones and provide an accurate reflection of the body’s active hormone levels.
