Why should you consider getting a DUTCH Test?
The DUTCH Test offers a comprehensive look at your hormones — assessing 35 hormones and biomarkers, including progesterone, oestrogens (and how they’re metabolised), DHEA, testosterone, and other androgens.
It also evaluates adrenal hormones throughout the day, including cortisol, giving insight into your stress response and energy patterns.
The DUTCH Test also highlights imbalances or deficiencies in: • B vitamins • Glutathione • Melatonin • Oxidative stress • Neuro-markers • Inflammation • Gut marker
Why choose the DUTCH Test over standard hormone testing?
Many women come to us after visiting their GP, only to feel they still don’t have answers. Traditional blood tests (which we run) show hormone levels, but the DUTCH Test goes deeper — revealing how your body processes, uses, and detoxifies hormones, particularly oestrogen.
Understanding oestrogen metabolism is key for long-term health and reducing potential risks associated with oestrogen dominance. Balance is always the goal.
The DUTCH Test also allows us to: ✔ Monitor transdermal body-identical oestrogen (important for HRT users) ✔ Assess cortisol across the full circadian rhythm — not just a single snapshot ✔ Measure both free and metabolised cortisol for a complete picture of adrenal function
Supporting adrenal health now can make all the difference later.
A truly holistic approach We consider: Nutrition • lifestyle • stress • gut health • liver & detox pathways • sleep • movement • mineral balance and more.
We are both conventional medicine, Menopause and functional medicine trained, blending our clinical expertise to ensure you’re fully supported.

I’ve got to be brutally honest this season has floored me! Anyone else?
But I’m leaning in and listening..
Winter isn’t the season for pushing harder.
Biologically, it’s about conservation, repair, immunity, and warmth.
Our ancestors honored this — no extreme training, fat loss goals, or detoxes in the dead of winter.
Holding onto energy in colder months is natural.
That’s wisdom, not failure.
Real growth happens in spring, when light increases, temperatures rise, and the body is biologically primed for growth, fat loss, and renewal.
So if you are feeling slower, or more inward this time of year, nothing is wrong with you. You are responding exactly as nature intended.
Just be kind to you and mirror the waves of nature 🍃
