'DUTCH ALTERNATIVE' HORMONE TEST £120. Adrenal | Menopause, Anxiety, Periods
A more affordable hormone Balance test. More straight forward, it’s popular with practitioners and clients alike in Menopause, Peri-menopause, irregular periods, stress/fatigue (for PCOS or complex hormone conditions choose the DUTCH test).
This test is a cheaper alternative to ‘DUTCH’ test that is easier for the layperson to understand. Measuring only adrenals and sex hormones, this test is focussed on hormone imbalances and is unique in that it looks only at how well your body is producing ACTIVE hormones (unlike bloods which looks at ALL your hormones). This is really useful in understanding deficits/overproduction and in measuring effectiveness of HRT.
What is this Hormone Test?
It’s an alternative to the DUTCH test for those who want a cheaper, more straight forward high/low hormone imbalance test that still does more than just looking at hormones in the blood. Unlike the DUTCH test, it does not include the Nutrition, methylation element or the Testosterone/Oestrogen break-down metabolites. This can be replaced by thinking about your diet and symptoms instead (or get our help). The lifestyle & diet approach is the same.
What does this hormone imbalance test tell you?
The unique benefits of this test is that it looks for three key underlying causes and factors in any hormone imbalance:
Which key hormone is imbalanced
Your stress/ ‘burnout’ levels
How much ‘active’, usable hormones your body (or HRT) is producing
If your HRT is actually working for you (blood not ideal to measure this)
How does it differ from the DUTCH test?
The dutch test is a great value test as it also includes information around your nutrition and detoxification which could explain the causes for hormone imbalance - but not everyone needs this. This test does not include this. In our clinical experience however, it’s much more important to go by client history and diet/symptoms in respect of the causes.
The test is excellent for a variety of scenarios, such as:
Understand if HRT is working for you
Perimenopause and menopause symptoms
Irregular periods
PMS/PTM
Oestrogen dominance
Anxiety and Depression
The test is particularly useful in those with unexplained irregular/heavy periods, or those taking HRT to assess effectiveness. Kindly read the test sample instructions.

What Does The Dutch Hormone Test for Women Measure?
The test looks at oestrogen balance, progesterone production (in still menstruating woman), testosterone, DHEA, as well as your cortisol (stress/adrenal). What makes this test unique however, is that it doesn’t just measure how much of these hormones new make - it also looks at how we might use them and manage them in the body. The key bit about the test however, is that, whilst it tests hormones - it looks at a range of factors which may be contributing to imbalanced hormones. Having the ‘WHY’s help you create an action plan straight away.
What does thE female hormone Complete Test Include?
The complete hormone (Adrenal and Sex Hormone) test is a comprehensive assessment of sex and adrenal hormones, and gives unique insight into how your body processes and balance these hormones. It’s broken down into two key areas and covers the following elements:
FEMALE Sex Hormones
STRESS/ Adrenal fatigue and health
Sex Hormones
Our complete Hormone panel looks at hormone measurements including oestrogen, androgens (testosterone, DHEA) and progesterone. As well as the raw data this information is provided as a graphical representation so that any breakdown pathways can be easily understood.
DUTCH Adrenal Panel
The DUTCH adrenal measurements looks at daily free cortisol and DHEA, produced by the adrenal gland. It can help you understand if your adrenals are overworked, if you’re in the ‘danger zone’ of depleting your adrenal resilience and rule out causes for insomnia and fatigue during the day (there are also other causes!)
Mood and Sleep
Hormones tend to affect sleep, mood and how we feel in ourselves.
This test is a more straight forward test that is easier for a layperson to understand, compared with the DUTCH test. It’s therefore more suitable for the public to undertake themselves without professional help interpreting the test.
Note that the this test is a Functional Health test with the aim of giving you diet and lifestyle changes to help your symptoms. It is not a diagnostic test.
IMPORTANT TEST INSTRUCTIONS
This is a SALIVA test that you carry out at home, and post to the lab. You will need have an awareness of your menstrual cycle, as this test should be carried out ideally on day 22 of your cycle (from the first day of your last period) - or just after or thereabouts. This is so that you capture progesterone which spikes in a particular time of the month and indicate ovulation. If you no longer have periods - take the test sample on any day!
