The results can be life changing.

Steroid hormones ae a group of hormones derived from cholesterol including progesterone, oestrogen, testosterone, DHEA and cortisol. They are involved in the regulation of many physiological processes in both men and women such as the development and function of the reproductive system, metabolism, inflammation and the immune system. Steroid hormones are generally carried in the blood, bound to specific carrier proteins. Symptoms of steroid hormone imbalance can affect men and women, and include: infertility, low libido, low sperm count, acne, excess facial hair in women, PCOS, mood swings, weight gain, depression, menopausal issues, poor memory, or hormone-sensitive cancers.

The Hormones test analyses genes involved in the regulation, production, transport and metabolism of the stress and sex hormones (and there are a number). It looks how gene variants affects hormone imbalance and details the nutrients and environmental factors that can influence and improve their balance. Suitable for men and women.

Detoxification is the physiological removal of toxic substances from the human body. It is mainly carried out by the liver, and to a lesser extent the small intestine, kidneys and lungs. Substances such as nutrients, food additives, pesticides, medications, air pollutants, alcohol are transformed from being fat-soluble to water-soluble allowing them to be more easily excreted from the body.

Poor detoxification causes symptoms such as headaches, muscle aches, fatigue, allergies, skin disorders, weight gain, bloating, acid reflux and heartburn, excessive sweating, chronic infections, sub-fertility, low libido, poor mental function and low stress tolerance.

The test examines the genes which most impact detoxification pathways and provides personalised nutritional recommendations to optimise detoxification.

Oestrogen is one of the two major female steroidal sex hormones, the other being progesterone. Men also require oestrogen for producing sperm and maintaining libido, but at significantly lower levels.

Oestrogen imbalance can contribute to female gynaecological issues including fibroids, PMS, heavy menstrual bleeding, skin related issues including acne and rashes, and ER positive breast cancer.

The Oestrogen Balance test analyses genes involved in the oestrogen lifecycle.

It looks at how gene variations affect production, activation and elimination of oestrogen as well as detailing the nutrients and environmental factors that can influence and improve their balance. This report is great for all women struggling with oestrogen-linked conditions.

The DUTCH Complete offers an extensive profile of sex and adrenal hormones plus melatonin (your sleep hormone). It provides a unique insight into your body’s metabolism of oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol and the neurotransmitters such as dopamine, adrenaline and serotonin.

It can provide deep and accurate insights into menopause, PCOS, weight gain, fatigue, low libido, PMS, sleep disorders, and prostate issues in men. The test can also be used as a baseline for monitoring of hormone replacement therapy. It’s a simple and precise method of hormone testing for men and women at any age using a dry urine sample which remains stable for several weeks whilst your tests are being processed.

Your nutritional programme can then be accurately personalised based on the findings.

Many other hormone tests are available including thyroid and adrenal testing.ription
