Functional Hormone Health Package

A comprehensive look at hormones, stress, metabolism, and digestive health

The Functional Hormone Health Package is designed for individuals who want to better understand how hormone patterns and gastrointestinal health may be contributing to their symptoms.

Hormones do not function independently. Digestive health, nutrient absorption, blood-sugar regulation, inflammation, stress, liver function, and the intestinal microbiome may all influence how hormones are produced, metabolized, and eliminated.

This package combines the DUTCH Hormone Test with the GI-MAP comprehensive stool test. You will also receive an in-depth initial consultation, a dedicated appointment to review both tests and create your personalized plan, and three follow-up appointments for continued guidance.

This Package May Be Right for You If:

• You experience irregular, painful, or heavy periods

• You experience PMS, mood changes, irritability, or menstrual migraines

• You have PCOS or symptoms associated with androgen imbalance

• You are navigating perimenopause or menopause

• You experience hot flashes, night sweats, or changes in your cycle

• You experience low energy, poor stress tolerance, or difficulty sleeping

• You have unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight

• You experience hair thinning, acne, or changes in your skin

• You have low libido

• You experience anxiety, brain fog, or changes in mood

• You have digestive symptoms along with hormonal concerns

• You have autoimmune or thyroid-related concerns

• You want to understand how your digestive health may be influencing hormone metabolism

• You have tried hormone-supportive supplements or diets without lasting improvement

• You want a personalized plan based on testing rather than continuing to guess

What’s Included

Comprehensive Initial Functional Health Consultation

Your care begins with an in-depth, one-on-one consultation. We will review your hormone-related concerns within the context of your complete health history.

During your consultation, we will review:

• Your primary symptoms and health goals

• Menstrual-cycle history and current cycle patterns

• PMS, painful periods, heavy bleeding, or irregular cycles

• Fertility and pregnancy history when relevant

• Perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms

• Energy, sleep, mood, and stress response

• Weight, blood-sugar, and metabolic concerns

• Hair, skin, and libido changes

• Digestive health and bowel habits

• Thyroid and autoimmune-related concerns

• Nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, and lifestyle

• Current medications, hormones, and supplements

• Hormonal birth-control or hormone-replacement use

• Previously completed bloodwork and functional testing

• Treatments, diets, medications, or protocols you have already tried

• Your short- and long-term health goals

Please provide copies of previous laboratory results before your consultation whenever possible. We will review relevant hormone panels, thyroid testing, metabolic markers, nutrient levels, and previous functional testing to help identify patterns and avoid unnecessary duplication.

DUTCH Hormone Test

The DUTCH test is an at-home dried urine test that provides a comprehensive evaluation of reproductive and adrenal hormone patterns.

Depending on the panel ordered, the DUTCH test may evaluate:

• Estrogen levels and metabolites

• Progesterone metabolites

• Testosterone and androgen metabolism

• DHEA

• Daily free-cortisol patterns

• Metabolized cortisol

• Cortisol and cortisone balance

• Cortisol awakening response

• Estrogen-metabolism pathways

• Certain nutrient, oxidative-stress, and neurotransmitter metabolites

The DUTCH test provides more than a single hormone measurement. It helps us evaluate how hormones are being produced and metabolized and how your stress-response patterns may relate to your symptoms.

Testing must be completed at the appropriate time based on your menstrual cycle, hormone use, and individual situation. Your provider will give you personalized collection instructions.

GI-MAP Comprehensive Stool Test

The GI-MAP is an at-home stool test that uses DNA-based technology to evaluate microorganisms and markers related to the gastrointestinal environment.

Depending on the panel ordered, it may provide information about:

• H. pylori

• Beneficial and commensal bacteria

• Opportunistic or potentially pathogenic bacteria

• Parasites

• Yeast and fungal markers

• Digestive function

• Intestinal immune activity

• Inflammatory markers

• Markers associated with intestinal permeability

The GI-MAP helps us look beyond hormone levels alone. Digestive health may influence nutrient absorption, inflammation, immune activity, estrogen metabolism, and the body’s ability to eliminate hormone metabolites.

Your results will be interpreted alongside your symptoms, health history, previous testing, medications, hormone use, and overall health picture.

Dedicated Test-Review and Planning Appointment

Once both test results are available, you will have a dedicated one-on-one appointment with your provider to review your DUTCH and GI-MAP results in detail.

This is a complete functional health appointment—not simply a written interpretation or copies of your laboratory reports.

During this appointment, we will discuss:

• What each test evaluated

• What was identified in your results

• Which findings appear most relevant

• How your hormone and digestive findings may be connected

• How your results may relate to your menstrual cycle, mood, energy, sleep, weight, skin, digestion, and other concerns

• How your findings compare with previous laboratory results

• What we recommend prioritizing first

• Whether additional bloodwork, testing, or medical evaluation should be considered

• What your personalized functional health plan will look like

You will have time to ask questions and understand the reasoning behind your recommendations. By the end of the appointment, you will have a clear and prioritized plan for moving forward.

Personalized Functional Hormone Health Plan

Following your test-review appointment, you will receive an individualized plan based on your results, symptoms, medical history, medications, hormone use, and goals.

Your recommendations may include:

• Personalized nutrition and meal guidance

• Blood-sugar and metabolic support

• Digestive and gastrointestinal support

• Strategies to support a balanced intestinal environment

• Hormone-metabolism support

• Menstrual-cycle or perimenopausal support

• Stress and nervous-system regulation

• Sleep and circadian-rhythm support

• Nutrient-repletion strategies

• Personalized supplement recommendations

• Referrals or coordination with physicians and specialists when appropriate

Recommendations are introduced in a thoughtful and manageable order. We will prioritize the most foundational areas instead of asking you to change everything at once.

Three Additional Follow-Up Appointments

Hormone and digestive health plans often require adjustments as your cycle, digestion, energy, mood, sleep, and other symptoms change.

In addition to your dedicated test-review appointment, this package includes three follow-up appointments.

These appointments allow us to:

• Evaluate your response to the plan

• Review changes in hormonal, digestive, and whole-body symptoms

• Monitor menstrual patterns, energy, mood, sleep, weight, and digestion

• Address questions, challenges, or reactions

• Adjust nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations

• Introduce recommendations in manageable phases

• Determine whether additional testing or referrals are needed

• Develop an appropriate long-term health strategy
