In this episode of the Female Health Solution Podcast, I break down one of the biggest frustrations women face: Your labs come back "normal," yet you still feel exhausted, inflamed, moody, or nothing like yourself, and no one can explain why.
Regular labs look for disease, not dysfunction.
A standard CBC or hormone panel can't show how your hormones are produced, processed, or eliminated.
Blood tests catch crises, not the early warning signs of perimenopause, adrenal burnout, or estrogen dominance.
All three estrogens: E1, E2, and E3
Phase 1 and Phase 2 estrogen detox (your liver pathways)
Methylation which is a major cause of PMS, migraines, brain fog, and mood swings
Cortisol rhythm throughout the day
Nutrient deficiencies and gut-related patterns
This level of detail finally explains why you feel off and what to do about it.
Sara's story: Blood labs said "you're fine."
Her DUTCH test showed exactly why she had migraines, poor sleep, and terrible PMS. Within months on a targeted plan, PMS dropped by 50 percent and her menstrual migraines disappeared.
At her follow-up, her clinic literally told her, "We don't know how to read this."
Jenna's story: A mom of five determined not to be a "half version" of herself.
She researched every option and realized she would have to piece together three times the number of tests to get what DUTCH shows in one report.
Once she saw her results, she finally had a roadmap instead of guessing.
Your genetics, stress load, pregnancies, environmental toxins, sleep, and nutrient status all intersect.
DUTCH shows which pieces are breaking down: production, processing, or elimination, so you stop guessing and start targeting the right areas.
This test shows:
Where the "holes in your boat" actually are
Which systems need support
What is driving your symptoms
And exactly what to do next
Instead of random supplements, you get clarity.
If you're tired of hearing "your labs are normal" while your body tells a different story, it's time to go deeper.
