(Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones)
What Is the DUTCH Complete?
The DUTCH Complete is an at-home dried urine test designed to provide a detailed look at hormone patterns, hormone metabolites, and cortisol activity.
Unlike a single blood draw that provides a snapshot in time, the DUTCH Complete collects multiple urine samples over the course of a day, helping provide additional insight into how certain hormones are being produced, metabolized, and cleared.
The test is completed at home and mailed directly to the laboratory for analysis.

Understanding Your Results:
My role is to help make your results easier to understand and provide education about how the patterns may relate to your overall wellness picture.
DUTCH testing and health coaching are not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment. When results or symptoms warrant medical evaluation, I encourage clients to discuss those findings with their licensed healthcare provider.
