Hormone disorders like Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome are a growing health concern in Canada, affecting roughly 1 in 10 Canadian women who are of reproductive age, according to the Calgary Therapy Institute. Hormonal issues are drastically underdiagnosed in Canada, and can have effects like infertility, metabolic syndrome, Type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular problems. While traditional Western medicine successfully diagnoses and treats acute illnesses like Type 1 Diabetes and Addison’s disease, it is less effective with complex hormonal challenges.

Healthflow Naturopathic explains that the DUTCH test is considered effective at diagnosing problems with hormonal imbalances. This dried urine hormone assessment has been validated through peer-reviewed research, with many finding it at least comparable in reliability to some salivary methods. The at-home collection process requires four dried urine samples collected on paper strips at specific times throughout a 24-hour period.

Unlike conventional blood or saliva tests, which capture hormone levels at a single point in time, the DUTCH test measures over 30 hormones and 35 metabolites, including eight estrogen metabolites, eight androgens, progesterone markers, cortisol patterns, and metabolized cortisol. This detailed profile can reveal harmful pathways and provide a fuller clinical picture for complex conditions such as chronic fatigue and female hormone imbalance.

Healthflow Naturopathic offers DUTCH testing as part of a broader menu of functional diagnostic services, which also includes food sensitivity testing and SIBO testing. The clinic’s naturopathic doctors bring professional expertise to the interpretation of test results, positioning hormone assessment within a holistic health framework that considers the interconnected nature of bodily systems.

The clinic aims to bring Calgary residents holistic solutions that uncover the root of their health challenges. Healthflow Naturopathic focuses on collaborative care, patient education, and sustainable prevention for both chronic illnesses and general wellness. The clinic offers new patients free discovery calls.
