Hormone testing via functional laboratories can check for more subtle imbalances.
The ‘Rhythm’ profile tracks your oestrogen and progesterone over a monthly cycle so you can see when (and if) you are ovulating and we can also check for signs of oestrogen dominance. We can see the size of the progesterone surge in the second half of the cycle. This test is good for people with PMS, PCOS, Endometriosis and other oestrogen related conditions.
The DUTCH test analyses your level of hormones, as well as how your hormones are being broken down and processed. Perhaps you are not detoxifying your hormones in a healthy way which can lead to oestrogen related conditions. These detoxfication pathways are influenced by genetics but can also be modulated using targeted nutrients such as magnesium to support the methylation pathway.
