Advanced Hormone Testing
The DUTCH Test at Resurrection Health:
Whole-Body Approach to Women's Health
At Resurrection Health, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all medicine.
Your hormones don’t function in isolation—they are deeply connected to your metabolism, stress response, detox pathways, sleep, and overall cellular health.
That’s why we use advanced tools like the DUTCH Test to go beyond basic lab work—helping us understand not just what your hormone levels are, but how your body is actually using them.
How the DUTCH Test Fits Into Your Care
Foundational Hormone Screening (Bloodwork)
This is where we start for many patients:Identifies hormone deficiencies or imbalances
Guides BHRT (Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy) decisions
Establishes safe and effective baseline levels
Functional Insight (DUTCH Testing)
The DUTCH Test builds on that foundation by showing:How your body metabolizes hormones
How stress is impacting your system
Whether detox pathways are working properly
Why symptoms may persist—even if labs look “normal”
DUTCH does not replace BHRT—it enhances how precisely we use it.
Why This Matters for BHRT Patients
If you are currently on—or considering—BHRT, the DUTCH Test can:
Help us fine-tune your dosing
Ensure hormones are being metabolized safely
Identify risks like estrogen dominance or poor detoxification
Explain why you may still have symptoms despite “normal” labs
This allows us to move from:
“Your labs look normal” to
“Your body is truly optimized.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the DUTCH test only for women?
No, the DUTCH test is not only for women. It is a comprehensive hormone test designed for both men and women to analyze sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone), adrenal hormones (cortisol), and their metabolites. While popular for female issues like PCOS and menopause, it is equally effective for men dealing with fatigue, low libido, or hormone imbalances.
How does advanced hormone testing actually help with my Medical Weight Loss?
If you are dealing with stubborn weight, a stalled metabolism, or weight loss plateaus despite being on a GLP-1 protocol (like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide), your hormones are often the hidden culprit. Advanced testing evaluates your 24-hour cortisol curve (stress response) and androgen pathways, showing us exactly how stress or estrogen dominance might be forcing your body to hold onto fat.
I'm already on HRT, why would my provider recommend a DUTCH test later on?
While standard blood draws give us a great snapshot of the hormone levels in your system, the DUTCH test tracks your hormone metabolites over 24 hours. For our HRT clients, this tells us exactly how your body is processing and clearing those hormones. It allows us to fine-tune your exact dosages, optimize your energy, and ensure your body is breaking down your therapies through the safest, healthiest pathways possible.
Can advanced hormone testing help optimize my energy and sleep alongside weight loss?
Absolutely. True results require looking at the whole body—not just the scale. By measuring melatonin, adrenal rhythms, and nutritional markers alongside your sex hormones, advanced testing uncovers precisely why you might feel "wired but tired," foggy, or fatigued. This helps us customize your supplementation and recovery plan to supercharge your vitality.
Do I need a DUTCH test before starting HRT or Medical Weight Loss?
No. The absolute first step for all of our hormone and weight loss programs is booking our comprehensive, in-house fasting blood panel and your initial expert provider consultation. This baseline bloodwork gives us the foundational data we need to map out your primary care path.If your symptoms or metabolic blocks require a more granular, 24-hour look, we will then layer on advanced testing like the DUTCH test.
Do I need DUTCH testing before starting BHRT?
No. Many patients begin with standard labs. DUTCH is used when deeper insight is needed.
Can I do DUTCH testing if I’m already on BHRT?
Yes—and it can be especially helpful for optimizing your therapy.
Is this covered by insurance?
DUTCH testing is a cash-based functional lab. We provide full transparency before ordering.
