NUTRITIONAL THERAPY PACKAGE: FERTILITY, CYCLES, AND HORMONES
This package gives special emphasis on getting cycles and hormones back into balance and offers optional support for those discontinuing birth control. This package includes a comprehensive nutritional analysis. This is great for anyone experiencing infertility, irregular cycles, heavy bleeding, painful periods, acne, PMS symptoms, PCOS, mood swings, PMDD, endometriosis, hot flashes, night sweats, estrogen dominance, bloating, migraines, missed periods, or hormonal imbalances. This will also help anyone transitioning off birth control. This service helps to get to the root cause of these issues and helps to regulate cycles and balance hormones.
Included with this Assessment:
An Initial Interview Form, which includes an overview of your health goals, areas of concern, medical history, sleep quality, toxic exposures, etc.
A Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire, which includes a 320 question/symptom assessment to analyze and identify areas of dysfunction and imbalance in the body.
A 5-Day Food and Mood Journal Analysis
Symptom Burden Comparison Charts
Recommendation Meeting to explain assessment results, define health goals/concerns, and discuss a personalized protocol (nutrition, lifestyle, supplement recommendations).
Special emphasis and teaching on women’s reproductive health to help balance fertility, cycles, and hormones.
(Optional) Education on how birth control affects mental health, vitamin depletion, and gut dysfunction, and how to support the body after birth control to bring it back into balance.
Nutritional Therapy Package: GUT, DIGESTION AND BLOOD SUGAR REGULATION
This package is great for anyone experiencing symptoms or conditions due to poor diet, gut and digestive dysfunction, or blood sugar dysregulation. Some examples include the following: Crohn’s disease, diabetes, ADHD, insomnia, anxiety, depression, constipation, diarrhea, allergies, weight gain, chronic fatigue, gastrointestinal dysfunctions, tics, brain fog, low energy, thyroid disease, liver/gallbladder dysfunction, acid reflux, etc. This service helps to get to the root cause of these issues in order to help you feel your best.

hormone testing with the dutch test
DUTCH COMPLETE
The DUTCH Complete is the flagship product offering an extensive profile of sex and adrenal hormones and melatonin, along with their metabolites, to identify symptoms of hormonal imbalances. Easily collect your samples in the comfort of your home and send them back to the lab to be processed.
DUTCH PLUS
The DUTCH Plus takes hormone testing to a new level. In addition to sex hormones and metabolites, the DUTCH Plus adds the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) to bring another important piece of the HPA axis into focus.
CORTISOL AWAKENING RESPONSE
As a separate kit from the DUTCH PLUS, the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) captures an important piece of the HPA axis and brings it into focus.
DUTCH CYCLE MAPPING
For some female patients, testing on just one day of the month is not enough. Women with infertility, irregular cycles, or no menstrual bleeding due to an ablation or partial hysterectomy, can benefit from the DUTCH Cycle Mapping.
DUTCH CYCLE MAPPING PLUS
Cycle Mapping PLUS combines the full picture of a women’s cycle and adds salivary measurements of the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) to bring another important piece of the HPA axis into focus and answer important questions for patients with month-long symptoms, infertility, and PCOS.

HAIR, TISSUE, MINERAL ANALYSIS (HTMA)
HTMA is combined with the Nutritional Therapy Assessment for a comprehensive assessment of your body and it’s nutritional needs.
What is HTMA?
HTMA is a safe and non-invasive pathology test.
HTMA is a soft tissue mineral biopsy that measures the levels and comparative ratios of nutrients and toxic minerals found in the hair.
Your hair contains all the minerals present in your body, including nutritional minerals as well as toxic heavy metals. Hair mineral analysis is a laboratory test that measures this mineral content in the hair. In most cases, the test results reflect how much of these elements are in your tissue and provide a vivid picture of your internal environment. With this information, a world of metabolic events can be interpreted. Not only can your nutritional status be viewed, but we can also learn much about how efficiently your body is working.
HTMA is a representative of an average rate of mineral and heavy metal accumulation in the hair sample over the previous 8-12 weeks.
HTMA shows if the body’s energy system is out of balance and how to use nutrition and diet to correct it.
Why Test for Minerals?
Minerals are essential for growth and wellbeing. They provide structural support in bones and teeth, and they participate in almost every metabolic process in the body. They are the true ‘spark plugs’ of life. Therefore, we need adequate amounts of them, and the correct ratios among them, for your body to grow, repair and thrive. For example:
Zinc is involved in the production, storage, and secretion of insulin and is necessary for growth hormones.
Magnesium is required for normal muscular function, especially the heart. A deficiency has been associated with an increased incidence of heart attacks, anxiety and nervousness.
If we consider that diet is what we consume and nutrition is what we retain, then we can see that discovering what your body needs when it needs it is a valuable tool in creating health. Your Hair Analysis Report is designed to help determine the best nutritional program for you.
What Can Cause Mineral Imbalance?
We will discuss how Diet, Stress, Medications, Pollution, Nutritional Supplements and Inherited Patterns can all lead to an imbalance of minerals in your body.
Why Can’t I Just Take a Good Multi-Vitamin?
We now know more than ever about the interactions of vitamins and minerals. Obtaining a proper ratio of vitamins is important. Too much zinc for example can antagonize vitamin D. Therefore, taking zinc indiscriminately may cause an imbalance in vitamin D. Too little vitamin D antagonizes calcium, creating poor conditions for calcium absorption. Too much vitamin C can cause a copper deficiency and allow too much iron to build up in the body.
Is it Easy to Take a Sample?
Taking a hair sample is quick and easy, you only need a small amount of hair, and it’s done. If head hair is not available, other areas of hair can be used.
Hair samples are sent to a licensed and certified clinical laboratory that undergoes regular inspection with the Clinical Laboratory Division of the Department of Health and Human Services.
HTMA testing is quick, easy and provides a wealth of information!
