DUTCH Test
Go deeper than standard hormone tests
The DUTCH doesn’t just measure hormone levels, it shows how your body is producing, using and clearing them, giving a more comprehensive picture than standard blood tests alone.
Find out if the DUTCH is right next step for you.
When ‘normal’ results don’t reflect how you feel
If you’ve been struggling with hormone-related symptoms such as weight changes, fatigue, acne, brain fog, mood swings or poor sleep, the DUTCH test can provide fresh answers, even if you’ve previously been told your hormone levels are ‘normal’.
For many women, it’s the first time their symptoms actually start to make sense.
A more complete picture of your hormones
Most hormone tests measure one blood sample at specific moment in time. The DUTCH test goes much further, analysing dried urine samples collected across the day to show not just hormone levels, but how your body is metabolising them too. That metabolic insight often explains symptoms that standard testing can't.
The test measures 35+ hormonal markers and is completed at home using a simple collection kit that's delivered directly to you.
Sex hormones & metabolites
Oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone - plus how your body is breaking them down and clearing them.
Stress & adrenal health
Your cortisol rhythm across the day, helping explain issues with stress, sleep, burnout and energy.
Sleep & circadian rhythm
Melatonin, your sleep hormone, measured alongside cortisol to assess your sleep-wake cycle.
Nutritional & metabolic markers
Including B12, B6, glutathione and markers linked to gut and metabolic health.
Take the guesswork out of women’s health conditions
“For many of our clients, the DUTCH test is the first time they get a clear explanation for symptoms they’ve been managing - or being told to accept - for years. It helps us build personalised plans based on what’s actually driving symptoms, rather than trying to manage them blindly.”
- Melanie Cohen, Aligned Wellness Founder
The DUTCH can help create clarity for:
Perimenopause & menopause
When your body feels different but blood tests don’t give clear answers. Especially useful during perimenopause, when hormones fluctuate too much for a single blood test to capture the full picture.
Fertility struggles
For women trying to conceive who want a clearer picture of hormone health and ovulation patterns.
PCOS, endometriosis & fibroids
For women struggling with painful, irregular or difficult periods who want a clearer understanding of the hormonal patterns driving symptoms.
Women using HRT
To understand how your body is responding to and metabolising HRT - not just your hormone levels on paper.
PMS & PMDD
When mood changes, anxiety, irritability or exhaustion around your cycle feel disruptive - and you want to understand what’s happening hormonally.
‘Normal’ blood work but ongoing symptoms
When something doesn’t feel right, despite being told everything looks ‘normal’.

Find the right next step
The DUTCH test can provide incredibly valuable insights, but only when it's used in the right context. Not every set of hormone symptoms need the DUTCH, and part of what we do is make sure you’re investing in testing that’s actually going to give meaningful answers.
If the DUTCH test is right for you, we handle everything directly through Aligned Wellness - including access to preferential pricing through our partner labs, so you're not paying more than you need to.
