✨ Unlocking Hormonal Wellness: My Journey with DUTCH Testing ✨

If you’re a woman struggling with mysterious hormone symptoms — pause right here. This is the thing I wish I had found years ago.

After feeling “off” for so long, I finally got real answers through DUTCH hormone testing at Barleycorn Clinic. Unlike basic blood work, the DUTCH test looks at 35+ hormones and biomarkers, giving a full picture of what’s actually going on inside your body.

Whether you’re navigating PMS, fertility concerns, perimenopause/menopause, low energy, mood swings, or just feel like something isn’t right… this testing can help uncover the root of it.

The best part? They create a personalized plan based on your unique results. No guessing. No cookie-cutter solutions.

I genuinely wish I’d done this sooner.

✨ Struggling with Hair Loss, Weight Gain, and Poor Sleep? ✨

You’re not alone — and there is a way forward.

This incredible 37-year-old woman came to us feeling tired, frustrated, and unsure of what was going on in her body.

We ran a DUTCH test (a comprehensive hormone panel) and a full blood workup to uncover the root causes — not just treat the symptoms. 💡

📍This is why we like to run both of these tests as they show different lenses in your health

Now she’s on a personalized path to healing, and so can you. 💪

If you’re ready to get answers instead of more confusion, drop the word “DUTCH” in the comments and we’ll send you the link to book your FREE discovery call. 🎯

Let’s get to the bottom of your health together. 🧬✨

🌟 Patient Spotlight: An Unexpected Benefit

One of my patients recently shared something incredible — since starting her GLP-1 therapy for weight management, her migraines have dramatically improved.

She went from 15 migraines a month to almost none. 😮✨

While GLP-1 medications aren’t officially approved to treat migraines, some patients do report improvements. This may be related to:

🧠 Reduced inflammation
✨ Hormone regulation
💉 Stabilized blood sugar
⚖️ Weight loss and decreased metabolic stress
😴 Better sleep and appetite regulation

Everyone’s experience is unique, and results can vary — but stories like this remind us how interconnected our metabolic and neurological health can be.

Always talk to your healthcare provider before starting or changing any medication.

“Hey there! 👋 Check out these lab results from a 30-year-old female who’s been experiencing significant fatigue.

✨ Let’s dive in.

We’re seeing low adrenal output — and alongside that, low DHEA. DHEA is a prohormone that helps produce testosterone and oestrogen, and since it’s largely made in the adrenals, it’s not surprising that it’s low here too.

She’s also showing low B12, but interestingly, her oestrogen and progesterone levels are quite robust.

Now, her melatonin is low — that’s often the body’s way of compensating for low cortisol. But remember, melatonin is also produced in the gut, so that led us to take a closer look there.

And sure enough, her gut results showed dysbiosis — lots of bad bacteria, low stomach acid, inflammation, and low gut immune function. All of this ties right back to her reduced adrenal output.

Oh, and gluten came up very high — so she definitely needs to avoid that while we work on healing.

So, the plan? We’re going to rebuild her adrenals and heal and seal the gut.

❓Question: can you take HRT for bone protection

Yes!

💪Bone health and menopause?

Did you know that research shows HRT can help protect your bones in and after menopause? 🦴

Large studies have found that HRT not only improves bone strength in women over 50 but also lowers the risk of spine and hip fractures. 🙌

✨ Starting HRT after menopause is totally possible and can make a real difference for long-term bone protection.

From the British Menopause Society 💙 — reminding us that looking after bone health is a key part of feeling our best through menopause and beyond.

👩‍⚕️ We are BMS menopause trained and here to support you every step of the way.

✨Your Adrenals & Menopause✨

Did you know your adrenals become the main source of oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone after menopause?

As the ovaries retire, they pass the baton to the adrenals — meaning robust adrenal health and balanced cortisol are key for a smoother transition. 🌿

If your cortisol has been running on overdrive (hello stress!) — or if you’re already in the exhausted phase — menopausal symptoms can hit harder.

**** Most women I let’s be clear!

That’s why during perimenopause, we focus on supporting the adrenals now, before the ovaries fully step back.

💧Think nourishment, rest, gentle movement, blood sugar balance, and stress regulation — all to help your body adapt with more ease.

Because strong adrenals = a steadier, calmer transition through menopause. 💪✨

🧪 If you fancy a hormone test to see what your adrenals are doing - trust me it’s validating for women to SEE how they are feeling this gives YOU permission to self care - drop the word DUTCH
