Men’s Health and the DUTCH Test

The DUTCH Test provides excellent information to men looking to optimize their health and wellbeing. While the media focus is often on increasing testosterone, other hormones play key roles in common symptoms such as fatigue, abdominal weight gain, gynecomastia, male pattern baldness, depression, insomnia and more. The DUTCH Test provides insights into multiple androgens such as DHEA-S, etiocholanolone, androsterone, 5a-DHT and testosterone. It evaluates the three main estrogens including phases 1 and 2 of estrogen metabolism. While estrogen metabolism is often associated with women’s health, men need healthy clearance as well. Lastly, hormones such as cortisol and melatonin play a role in testosterone production and spermatogenesis. This webinar will review the sex, adrenal, nutritional organic acids and neurotransmitter results for common male complaints while discussing case examples.
