Do you ever feel like something is off—fatigue that won’t lift, mood swings you can’t explain, brain fog that makes focusing a challenge, or sleep that never feels restful? Maybe you’ve been told your lab work is “normal,” but deep down, you know something isn’t quite right.
You’re not imagining it. And you’re not alone.
The DUTCH Plus® Hormone Test is designed to go beyond traditional bloodwork. It offers a more complete, functional look at your hormone health—helping you uncover the root causes of those nagging symptoms and feel like yourself again.
Why This Hormone Test Stands Out
Traditional hormone testing often relies on a single blood or saliva sample taken at one point during the day. But hormones naturally fluctuate, especially in response to stress, sleep, and activity.
The DUTCH Plus® test captures these fluctuations through a combination of dried urine and saliva samples collected throughout the day. This gives a more accurate view of how your hormones function in real time. It helps uncover patterns of imbalance that static testing might miss—like adrenal fatigue, estrogen dominance, or disrupted cortisol rhythms.
This level of insight allows for personalized treatment plans based on what’s really going on in your body, not just what looks "normal" on paper.
What the DUTCH Plus® Test Can Reveal
This isn’t just about one hormone. The DUTCH Plus® evaluates a wide range of markers that work together to influence how you feel—day to day, and across your cycle.
For example, it measures estrogen and its metabolites to help identify if your body is detoxifying properly or holding on to excess estrogen. It assesses progesterone, which plays a major role in sleep quality, mood, and cycle regularity. And it looks at androgens like testosterone and DHEA, which impact libido, motivation, and metabolic function.
One of its standout features is how thoroughly it examines cortisol, your main stress hormone. By tracking free cortisol (the active form), cortisone (its inactive backup), and metabolized cortisol (your total daily output), it paints a complete picture of your adrenal health—something many tests overlook.
You’ll also get a glimpse into your melatonin levels, which influence your circadian rhythm and sleep, and organic acids, which provide insight into nutrient status and neurotransmitter activity.

Who Can Benefit from the DUTCH Plus®?
If you’ve been feeling persistently tired, wired-but-tired at night, dealing with unpredictable menstrual cycles or mood swings, or struggling with low libido or stubborn weight gain, this test may provide the clarity you've been searching for.
It’s especially helpful for those navigating perimenopause or postmenopause, dealing with PCOS or endometriosis, or recovering from chronic stress or burnout. Even if your conventional labs are “normal,” the DUTCH Plus® may uncover patterns that explain what’s really going on.
A Deeper Dive: DUTCH Cycle Mapping
For women with irregular cycles, fertility concerns, or symptoms that fluctuate dramatically month-to-month, there’s also DUTCH Cycle Mapping. This advanced option tracks estrogen and progesterone throughout the entire menstrual cycle, offering a dynamic view that a single-day hormone test can’t provide.
It’s especially helpful in confirming ovulation, evaluating luteal phase health, and supporting fertility planning. When combined with the DUTCH Plus®, it offers one of the most complete pictures of hormonal health available today.
Your Hormones, Your Story
Hormones don’t work in isolation—they function more like a symphony. When just one instrument is out of tune, the whole performance can feel off. The DUTCH Plus® test helps connect the dots between your hormones, stress response, sleep, metabolism, and reproductive health.
It’s not just about finding what’s “wrong.” It’s about learning what your body needs in order to thrive.
