DUTCH Hormone Test
The gold standard in comprehensive hormone testing
~$400
7–10 business days
The Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones (DUTCH) is the most advanced hormone test available, mapping your complete hormonal landscape including cortisol patterns, sex hormones, their metabolites, and melatonin — all from dried urine samples collected at home.
Unlike serum blood tests that capture a single moment in time, DUTCH tracks your cortisol curve throughout the day and reveals how your body metabolizes hormones — critical information for understanding estrogen dominance, adrenal dysfunction, and androgen imbalances.
What It Measures
Full cortisol curve (free and metabolized)
Estrogen metabolites (2-OH, 4-OH, 16-OH pathways)
Progesterone and its metabolites
Testosterone, DHT, and androgen pathways
DHEA and its metabolites
Melatonin (6-OH-melatonin-sulfate)
Organic acid markers for B12, B6, and glutathione status
Why Gabriel Recommends It
Standard blood hormone panels are like taking a photograph of a river — you see the water level at one moment but miss the flow. DUTCH shows the complete picture: not just how much estrogen you have, but how you're metabolizing it. The 4-OH estrogen pathway, for example, is associated with increased cancer risk — information that standard panels completely miss. Gabriel uses DUTCH data to guide bioidentical hormone protocols, adrenal support, and targeted detoxification strategies.
What to Expect
You'll collect dried urine samples on filter paper at four specific times throughout one day (and one first-morning void the next day). Simply saturate the paper, let it dry, and mail it in the prepaid envelope. Results arrive in 7–10 business days with detailed hormone mapping. Upload your results to Gabriel for naturopathic interpretation.
How Gabriel Interprets This
Conventional practitioners read these results through a disease-focused lens — looking for what's broken. Gabriel reads them through a holistic lens — looking for what's out of balance and how to restore it. We see optimal ranges, not just "normal" ranges. We connect findings across all your diagnostics to reveal patterns that siloed specialists miss.

Frequently Asked Questions
DUTCH measures hormone metabolites, not just circulating levels. Blood tests show what's in your bloodstream at one moment. DUTCH shows how your body is actually processing and clearing hormones, which is critical for understanding issues like estrogen dominance, adrenal dysfunction, and methylation problems.
You collect 4-5 urine samples on filter paper strips throughout one day, from evening through the next morning. The strips dry at room temperature and are mailed to the lab. No blood draw, no clinic visit needed.
For cycling women, collection is typically done on days 19-22 of your cycle (luteal phase) when progesterone should be at its peak. Post-menopausal women and men can test any time. Your practitioner will guide timing based on your specific situation.
Typically 7-10 business days from when the lab receives your samples. Results are sent to your ordering practitioner, who will schedule a consultation to review findings and create a treatment plan.
Generally no. The DUTCH Complete test costs approximately $300-400. Some HSA/FSA plans will reimburse it. The depth of information it provides typically exceeds what insurance-covered blood panels offer, which is why many practitioners consider it worth the out-of-pocket cost.
Hormonal acne, irregular periods, fertility issues, PMS/PMDD, perimenopause symptoms, adrenal fatigue, low libido, unexplained weight gain, mood disorders, and sleep problems. It's particularly valuable when standard blood work comes back 'normal' but symptoms persist.
