Welcome back to the Happily Hormonal Podcast. In this episode, I am really excited to dive into hormone testing, more specifically DUTCH testing.
DUTCH testing is the hormone test that I use most often with my clients, and I'm going to give you the lowdown on what it is, and how to know if you need it or if you can balance your hormones without testing.
Plus, I'm going to go over a real DUTCH test that I recently received from one of my clients just to help you understand some of the things that might show up if you decide to get one.

In this episode:

• [02:27] What is DUTCH testing? And why I prefer it to other hormone tests
• [05:41] Who I would recommend DUTCH testing for
• [10:18] Understanding the results of a real DUTCH test
• [20:24] How cortisol affects your body
• [23:30] Bonus markers in the DUTCH test – like B12, dopamine, and neuroinflammation markers

“Living well is the best medicine.” - Dr. Deb Matthew

Testosterone is crucial in both men and women for physical health, sexual function, mood, motivation, and more.

Many people who feel "off" or "not like themselves" may be experiencing a testosterone imbalance but may be misdiagnosed with depression and prescribed medication that does not address the root cause.

Today I’m joined by Dr. Deb Matthew to explore the importance of testosterone in our bodies, not just for sexual health but for overall physical and mental well-being. Dr. Deb Matthew is known as the Happy Hormones Doctor, and she's a best-selling author, international speaker, educator, wife, and mom of four boys. After suffering for years from fatigue and irritability due to hormone imbalances, her quest to resolve for personal health led her to change everything about her practice of medicine.

In this conversation, Dr. Deb and I discuss why testosterone is vital, the common reasons for testosterone deficiencies and why it may be elevated, the connection between testosterone levels and thyroid health, the impact of environmental toxins, and more. Enjoy the episode!

Are your hormones out of whack? If you suffer from weight gain, insomnia, fatigue, GI issues, or mood swings...the answer is likely yes! But how can we actually know what’s going on with our hormones? 

Watch this interview with Esther Blum, functional nutritionist to learn how the Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones (DUTCH) test gives you a clearer picture than blood tests alone. 

The DUTCH test uses 5 dried urine samples collected at various times throughout the day to get a better picture of how your hormones are produced and metabolized. Get insight into estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and other androgen hormones, cortisol, and more. You can even see how much dopamine and melatonin you’re producing. 

These detailed results are especially helpful for someone who is getting “normal” hormone blood work back but is clearly having signs of hormonal dysfunction. 

Highlights From This Episode

• What is the DUTCH Test?
• What is the difference in training and expertise between a registered dietitian and an integrative dietician?
• What information does the DUTCH test give that can’t be obtained from the GI MAP test or a subjective interview?
• Overview of adaptogens and how to use them to help reduce your stress and cortisol levels. 
• Why does going through menopause increase a women’s risk for cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s?
• Is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy good for Alzheimer’s prevention?
• What to do for estrogen dominance symptoms?
• Where does someone start for better stress and sleep?
• Why you should swipe your thoughts and not allow negative thoughts in your life. 
• Why the quick fix mentality is wrecking your health and what to do instead.
