Lab Testing
At Advanced Wellness, supplements and lab testing are never used in isolation - they’re part of a thoughtful, root-cause approach to healing. We use advanced testing to understand how your body is functioning, then apply targeted, whole-food and herbal formulas that support the body’s own ability to regulate, restore, and rebalance.
Rather than replacing hormones with synthetic or bioidentical therapies, our focus is on stimulating your natural production and improving the pathways that influence hormonal balance, gut health, and overall resilience. This philosophy sets our care apart and allows us to create personalized, sustainable wellness plans based on what your body truly needs.
DUTCH Hormone Testing
What is it?
DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) is a comprehensive, non-invasive hormone test that provides detailed insights into your hormonal health. Unlike standard blood tests, DUTCH testing analyzes both your hormone levels and their metabolites (breakdown products), offering a complete picture of how your body is processing and balancing hormones. This advanced testing method evaluates key hormones involved in critical functions such as stress response, metabolism, reproductive health, and more.
Whether you’re dealing with fatigue, hormonal imbalances, or stress-related symptoms, DUTCH testing helps uncover underlying issues and provides valuable information to guide personalized treatment plans.
DUTCH Complete: Focuses on evaluating hormone levels and their metabolites, offering insights into sex hormones, adrenal hormones, and related health markers.
DUTCH Plus: Includes all the features of the DUTCH Complete but adds the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR), providing a deeper understanding of your body’s stress response and adrenal function.
