S3 Ep: 04 Dutch Test: Hannah's Story

The Holistic Anxiety Fix Podcast

In this episode, we dive deep into how a specific functional medicine test called DUTCH test can help to restore hormonal balance. I sit down with a hormone health practitioner - Hannah and we chat about how doing the DUTCH has allowed her to dive even deeper into rebalancing her hormones in a way she wasn't able to with general natural strategies alone.

Ever since Hannah hit puberty she had painful periods. Like most women, she went on birth control on and off for almost a decade. At the age of 25, by the end of her birth control journey, she had acne all over her jaw line, painful breasts for like a week, insomnia 3 days before her periods, and heavy periods. It wasn’t until she started to learn about holistic nutrition, that she realized how stress can play a huge role in hormonal imbalance. Amazingly, she resolved her symptoms in just 4-6 weeks, through holistic strategies.

But a year ago, she started experiencing breast tenderness around ovulation time and increased occurrence of respiratory infections. She took the DUTCH Test to look into what was going into her body. The results showed that she had slight estrogen dominance, low testosterone, and low cortisol levels. These insights guided her toward making dietary and lifestyle changes to get rid of the symptoms she was having and fix the underlying hormonal imbalance.

Tune in to completely understand the DUTCH test and its significance for healing your hormonal imbalance.
