711. Beyond the Bloodwork: Why the DUTCH Test Changes Everything

Have you ever walked out of the doctor’s office, blood test results in hand, only to hear those dreaded words: “Everything looks normal!”

Meanwhile, you’re exhausted, your hormones are all over the place, your energy is in the basement, and you just know something is off. So now what? Just accept that feeling like a tired, cranky version of yourself is the new normal? Nope, not today.

Let me introduce you to a new approach to your health: the DUTCH test.

Unlike a standard blood test (which takes a quick snapshot of your hormone levels at one moment in time), the DUTCH test is a urine test that shows you the full story of what’s happening in your body over a 24-hour period. It looks at:

✅ Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and adrenal markers
✅ Free vs. bound hormones (hello, actual usable hormones!)
✅ Cortisol patterns (because stress and energy matter)
✅ Nutrient metabolites like B12, B6, and glutathione
✅ Even neurotransmitters like dopamine and melatonin!

Basically, it's like the full diagnostic workup for your body instead of a quick glance under the hood.

Imagine going for a bike ride. A blood test is like checking to see if the bike technically has two wheels. A DUTCH test? It’s making sure the tires are fully inflated, the chain is running smoothly, and the brakes actually work—so you don’t just move, you thrive.

And here’s the kicker: if you were to order all these tests separately, you’d be looking at over $1,200 (ouch!). But a DUTCH test bundles them together for a fraction of the cost. More info, fewer headaches, and actual insights that can help you feel like you again.

So if you’re tired of feeling off and getting zero answers, it might be time to take a deeper dive. Ready to get to the root of your hormone health? Order your DUTCH test here: https://drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/
