DUTCH Lab Testing Available at NYC Total Health

As a healthcare provider committed to offering the best in holistic and functional medicine, I am thrilled to announce that NYC Total Health is a registered DUTCH Lab provider, conveniently located in the heart of Manhattan (10001), NY. Our clinic is dedicated to addressing the unique health challenges of our patients, and DUTCH testing is a powerful tool that enables us to do just that.

What is DUTCH Lab Testing?
DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) testing is a revolutionary approach to hormone testing. It provides a comprehensive view of your hormonal health, giving insights into hormone levels, metabolites, and the intricate balance that influences your overall well-being. Unlike traditional blood tests, DUTCH testing offers a more detailed analysis by measuring hormone levels over a 24-hour period, providing a clearer picture of your body’s hormonal fluctuations.

Who Can Benefit from DUTCH Testing?
At NYC Total Health, we see a diverse range of patients, many of whom are dealing with stress, hormonal imbalances, and fertility issues. DUTCH testing is particularly beneficial for:

Women with Hormonal Imbalances: Whether it's irregular menstrual cycles, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), or menopausal symptoms, DUTCH testing can identify specific imbalances and guide personalized treatment plans.

Individuals Facing Chronic Stress: Chronic stress can wreak havoc on your adrenal glands, leading to fatigue, anxiety, and other health issues. DUTCH testing can assess adrenal function and stress hormone levels, helping us to create effective stress management strategies.

Couples Trying to Conceive: For those facing fertility challenges, understanding hormonal health is crucial. DUTCH testing can pinpoint issues with estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and other hormones critical for reproduction.

Patients with Sleep Disorders: Hormones like cortisol and melatonin play a significant role in sleep patterns. DUTCH testing helps in identifying imbalances that may be disrupting your sleep.

Anyone Seeking Optimal Health: Even if you’re just looking to optimize your health and wellness, DUTCH testing provides valuable insights that can help you achieve your health goals.

DUTCH Lab Options
DUTCH Lab offers a variety of testing options, each designed to provide detailed insights into different aspects of hormonal health:

DUTCH Complete: This comprehensive test measures a wide range of hormones and their metabolites, including cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA. It provides a complete picture of your hormonal health.

DUTCH Adrenal: Focused on adrenal health, this test measures cortisol patterns and cortisone levels throughout the day, offering insights into stress response and adrenal function.

DUTCH Plus: This advanced test includes all the measurements of the DUTCH Complete, plus additional markers for assessing the HPA axis and sleep/wake cycle, providing a deeper understanding of how stress and sleep affect your hormones.

DUTCH Cycle Mapping: Specifically designed for women with irregular menstrual cycles or fertility concerns, this test tracks estrogen and progesterone levels throughout the menstrual cycle.
