DUTCH Hormone Testing and Cycle Mapping

At Coast Spine Center, we understand how deeply hormones influence your overall health, mood, energy, and quality of life.

When hormones are imbalanced, it can affect everything from sleep and weight management to fertility and emotional well-being.

That’s why we offer DUTCH Hormone Testing and Cycle Mapping: a state-of-the-art tool that provides a complete picture of your hormone health so we can create a personalized care plan tailored just for you.

What is DUTCH Hormone Testing

The DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) test is one of the most advanced hormone assessments available today. Unlike traditional blood or saliva testing, the DUTCH test measures hormones and their metabolites through dried urine samples, providing a more complete and accurate analysis of how your body produces, metabolizes, and eliminates hormones.

This test evaluates key areas of hormone health, including:

• Cortisol patterns (stress & adrenal function)
• Sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone)
• Metabolites of estrogen (important for breast & uterine health)
• Melatonin (sleep regulation)
• DHEA and other adrenal hormones
• Cycle mapping for women (tracking hormone fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle)

Why GI Mapping is Important?

Your gut health affects much more than digestion. An imbalance in the microbiome has been linked to:

• Chronic digestive problems (IBS, bloating, constipation, diarrhea)
• Food sensitivities and intolerances
• Autoimmune conditions
• Skin issues (eczema, acne, rashes)
• Brain fog, anxiety, and mood disorders
• Persistent fatigue and low energy
• Inflammation and joint pain

By uncovering the root causes of these issues, GI Mapping helps us move beyond symptom management and toward true healing.

Why Consider DUTCH Testing & Cycle Mapping?

Hormone imbalances can contribute to a variety of symptoms, such as:

• Irregular or painful menstrual cycles
• PMS, PMDD, or menopausal symptoms
• Infertility or difficulty conceiving
• Low energy, fatigue, or “burnout”
• Anxiety, depression, or mood swings
• Weight fluctuations or slow metabolism
• Sleep disturbances
• Brain fog and difficulty concentrating

By mapping your unique hormone patterns, we can uncover the root causes of these issues and recommend targeted, natural solutions.

The Process

The process is simple and non-invasive:

• You’ll collect urine samples at home using an easy test kit.
• The samples are sent to a specialized lab for analysis.
• Once results are ready, our team will review your comprehensive hormone profile with you.

From there, we’ll design a personalized wellness plan that may include nutrition strategies, stress reduction techniques, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle adjustments to bring your hormones back into balance.
