Estrogen Isn’t Just About How Much You Have — It’s About How You Process It.

Many women assume estrogen issues only show up as low estrogen later in life.
But for younger women, the problem is often too much estrogen or estrogen that isn’t being cleared properly.

Here’s what most standard labs don’t show you 👇

Your body doesn’t just make estrogen — it must also metabolize and detox it.
When estrogen is pushed down the 4-OH pathway or isn’t clearing efficiently, it can contribute to:

• PMS & PMDD
• Heavy or painful periods
• Breast tenderness
• Fibroids or cysts
• Mood swings & anxiety
• Weight gain that won’t budge
• Increased long-term risk if left unchecked

At the Happy Hormone Cottage, we don’t guess.

✨ Our testing shows:
• How much estrogen you’re producing
• Which pathways your estrogen is using (2-OH, 4-OH, 16-OH)
• How well you methylate and clear “dirty” estrogens

And the best part?
If we see estrogen taking the wrong path, we have targeted strategies to support safer metabolism and detoxification — before symptoms escalate.

This is why hormone care matters even when you’re young.
It’s not about age. It’s about physiology.

Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Is Not “Just a Thyroid Problem”

Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition — not simply a TSH issue. It often overlaps with gut health issues, cortisol dysregulation, estrogen dominance, and nutrient deficiencies. Treating only the lab number misses the full picture.

Why We Rely on Precision Analytical Inc., DUTCH Complete Test (and won’t compromise on it)

At the Happy Hormone Cottage, we don’t guess when it comes to hormones — we test thoroughly and intelligently. That’s why the DUTCH Complete Test is a cornerstone of our care.

The DUTCH Test gives us a 360° view of your hormones, not just a snapshot in time.

✨ Here’s what makes it so powerful:

• Measures 35+ hormones and metabolites, including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-S, and cortisol
• Shows how your body metabolizes hormones, not just how much you have
• Tracks daily free cortisol patterns, giving insight into adrenal dysfunction, chronic stress, fatigue, and sleep issues
• Includes melatonin levels, helping us understand sleep quality and circadian rhythm
• Evaluates oxidative stress (8-OHdG), a marker tied to inflammation and aging
• Assesses key nutrient and neurotransmitter pathways, including:
– Vitamin B12 & B6 status
– Glutathione (detox capacity)
– Dopamine, norepinephrine & epinephrine
• Provides clear visual graphs and provider-guided interpretation so nothing is missed

💡 In short:
The DUTCH Test helps us understand why symptoms are happening, not just silence them.

This is how we personalize hormone therapy, protect long-term health, and avoid one-size-fits-all treatment.

💗 Estrogen & Vaginal Health: It’s More Important Than You’ve Been Told 💗

Estrogen plays a critical role in vaginal and urinary health — yet it’s one of the most overlooked pieces of women’s care.

When estrogen levels (or estrogen function) are low or imbalanced, women may experience:
• Vaginal dryness or irritation
• Pain with intimacy
• Recurrent UTIs
• Changes in vaginal tissue and pH
• Increased susceptibility to infections

But here’s the part most women aren’t told 👇
It’s not just about how much estrogen you have — it’s about how your body processes it.

That’s why we use the DUTCH Complete Test. It allows us to see:
✔️ How much of each estrogen (E1, E2, E3) your body is producing
✔️ How well you methylate estrogen
✔️ Which metabolic pathways your estrogen is moving down (protective vs. inflammatory)

This matters — because the right estrogen, at the right dose, metabolized the right way can support vaginal tissue, urinary health, comfort, and confidence — without guesswork.

✨ Vaginal health is hormone health.
✨ And women deserve care that actually looks at the full picture.
