The DUTCH Plus Test is a urine and saliva hormone test. It is the best test in the world for hormone testing. It provides a comprehensive look at your adrenal hormones (cortisol) and sex hormones (oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone), offering an accurate picture of how you are coping with life’s challenges.
The DUTCH Plus Test looks at the stress hormones you produce across the day which is important to see if your hormone levels are up when they should be down, or down when they should be up.
In other words, if you can’t fall asleep at night, can’t get out of bed in the morning and/or fall asleep at the desk middle of the afternoon.
We can also see the impact on your thyroid of these hormones which relates to your energy and metabolism. We also get a window into whether you are stressed and at a brain level over producing stress hormones or under.
The results can indicate the presence of psychological burnout, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), sleep apnea or poor sleep in general, PTSD, chronic fatigue and/or chronic pain, hypertension, digestive and autoimmune conditions.
There is also a mini stress test included with the second part of the test that uses several saliva samples to look at the size of the rise in stress hormone first thing in the morning and whether it correlates with normal and expected responses.
The levels of your stress hormones can show the impact of job related stress, the presence of poor blood sugar control (a key factor in the inability to lose weight) as well as general depression.
