DUTCH hormone testing in Atlanta, read by a physician who turns it into a plan.
If a standard blood panel keeps coming back “normal” while your cycles, sleep, and mood say otherwise, the problem was never in your head. It is that a single morning blood draw misses most of the hormone story.
I am Dr. Nina Ross, ND PhD. The DUTCH test maps your hormones and their metabolites across a full day, and I read it as one move inside a plan that treats what it uncovers. That is how a stack of numbers becomes an actual answer.

Book the $99 Symptom ConsultationA full day of your hormones and their metabolites, mapped end to end.
The DUTCH test uses dried-urine samples across a day to measure your sex hormones, how your body breaks them down, and your cortisol rhythm. That depth is real and genuinely useful, and it pays off when a clinician reads it against your symptoms and turns it into a plan.
- It shows not just your levels but how your body is processing them, which blood often misses.
- Sampling across the day reveals the adrenal pattern behind wired-but-tired and broken sleep.
- Dr. Nina interprets it against your symptoms and history, so the results actually mean something.
The DUTCH test is right for some people. It is wrong for others.
- Your symptoms scream hormones but standard bloodwork keeps reading “normal”
- You are navigating perimenopause, menopause, PCOS, or stubborn cycle issues
- You want a clinician to turn the results into an actual plan you can follow
- You want raw numbers with no interest in what to do about them
- You are hoping a test alone will fix something a test can only measure
- You expect one panel to replace an ongoing relationship with a clinician
If that second list stung a little, good. That honesty is exactly what you are paying for here.

DUTCH Test, answered plainly
What does the DUTCH test actually measure?
It measures your sex hormones (like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone), how your body metabolizes them, and your daily cortisol pattern, from dried-urine samples collected across a day. That gives a fuller picture than a single blood draw, especially for cycle, sleep, and adrenal symptoms.
How is DUTCH different from a regular hormone blood test?
Blood gives one snapshot of total levels. DUTCH adds the metabolites (how your body is breaking hormones down) and a full-day cortisol rhythm, which often explains symptoms that bloodwork calls “normal.”
Do I collect the DUTCH test at home?
Yes. After your consult you receive an at-home kit and collect dried-urine samples at set times over a day, then send it to the lab. Dr. Nina reviews the results with you afterward.
Is the DUTCH test worth it?
It is worth it when your symptoms point to hormones and the results will change your plan. Run for the right reason and interpreted by a clinician, it can shortcut a lot of guessing; run randomly with no one reading it, it is just paper.
Can I order a DUTCH test without a doctor?
You can buy kits online, but you are then left to interpret a complex report alone. Here it is ordered off your symptoms and read by a physician who turns it into an actual plan.
Can I just do the test without becoming a patient?
Testing here is always part of physician-led care. You start with a $99 Symptom Consultation so it is ordered for the right reason and the results are actually used.
