DUTCH Hormone Testing – A Comprehensive Hormonal Health Assessment
The DUTCH hormone test is one of the most comprehensive at home hormone tests available and is used widely by Naturopaths to assess a full hormonal picture. Our Naturopaths at Brisbane Livewell Clinic regularly recommend this test kit for their patients.
DUTCH stands for Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones. It measures sex hormones, adrenal hormones and their metabolites, providing a detailed insight into how your body is producing, metabolising and clearing hormones.
Unlike standard hormone tests that provide only a snapshot, the DUTCH test reveals patterns over time, helping to identify underlying causes of hormonal imbalances. It is particularly useful for people experiencing complex or persistent symptoms that cannot be explained by simple blood testing.
DUTCH testing must be arranged through a Naturopath as part of a supported consultation and treatment process. It is not available for purchase directly.
Working with a practitioner ensures the right type of DUTCH test is selected – whether that is DUTCH Complete, DUTCH Cycle Mapping, or DUTCH Plus – and that results are interpreted accurately and applied to a personalised care plan.
For these reasons, we do not provide test kits on their own to our patients – they come as a package with both an initial and a subsequent Naturopath consultation.
What Symptoms Suggest You May Need DUTCH Hormone Testing
DUTCH testing may be recommended if you are experiencing hormonal symptoms that affect your daily quality of life or are resistant to improvement through basic interventions.
Symptoms suggesting a DUTCH test may be appropriate include persistent fatigue, low energy levels, anxiety, mood swings, sleep disturbances, irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, acne, unexplained weight gain, stubborn weight loss resistance, low libido, hair thinning, or worsening menopausal symptoms. It can also be valuable for people with known conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, adrenal dysfunction or thyroid disorders.
Because the DUTCH test captures detailed information on oestrogen metabolism, androgen activity, cortisol rhythms and melatonin production, it provides a complete view of the body’s hormonal environment. This allows Naturopaths to create far more targeted and effective strategies for restoring hormonal balance, rather than relying on generalised treatment approaches.
Testing through a professional like our Naturopaths at Brisbane Livewell Clinic ensures that any underlying causes are identified and that treatment recommendations are safe, structured and based on your body’s specific hormonal profile.

Costs of At Home Hormone Testing and Consultation
Costs include the Naturopathic consultation, the price of the test kit, laboratory analysis and follow-up support.
