Your hormones are the command center for your energy, mood, and metabolism. Yet, so many people are told their blood work is “normal” while they struggle with brain fog, mid-afternoon crashes, and disrupted sleep.
At NYC Nutritionist, we believe “normal” isn’t the same as “optimal.” We use the DUTCH Test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) to provide a 360-degree view of your endocrine system.
Meet with a functional dietitian nutritionist and receive targeted nutrition interventions to optimize your hormone health.

The DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) is a technology developed by Precision Analytical Inc. based in Oregon. It consists in a person collecting four urine samples over a 24-hour period (at home). It measures basic hormones, cortisol metabolites, estrogen metabolites, androgen metabolites, free cortisol pattern, melatonin, 8-OHdG (oxidative stress), and neurotransmitter metabolites.
Standard blood tests offer a “snapshot” of a single moment. The DUTCH test provides a complete narrative of your hormonal health by measuring:
The Stress Curve (Cortisol Rhythms): Instead of one cortisol reading, we map your levels throughout the day to identify “Adrenal Fatigue” or “Tired but Wired” patterns common in high-stress environments.
Hormone Metabolism: We don’t just see how much Estrogen or Progesterone you have; we see how your body processes and clears them, identifying risks for estrogen dominance.
Androgen Balance: Insight into DHEA and Testosterone levels to support lean muscle mass, libido, and skin health.
Organic Acid Markers: Including B12, B6, and Melatonin levels to understand how your nutrition is fueling your hormone production.
Over 90% of our patients pay nothing out of pocket. We’re in-network with most major insurance plans. We will check your coverage for you.

As functional nutrition therapists, the why of what our patients are experiencing is the crux of any nutrition therapy. Many women come to us who struggle with fertility, irregular and painful periods, endometriosis, chronic fatigue, weight imbalances, and more. With access to the most comprehensive hormone testing on the market (testing 47 markers), we can better understand what is going on in our patients’ bodies to develop individualized, targeted diet plans. Hormone imbalances are a combination of many things including genetics, stress, exercise, sleep, environmental toxins, and diet.
Functional medicine testing gives a holistic picture of what is going on in your body. With the DUTCH test results, one of the functional nutritionists on our team will develop an individualized medical nutrition therapy approach to help our patients optimize hormone health. Whether that means helping them achieve meaningful weight loss, optimizing fertility, or managing menopause symptoms, our patients will see improvement in their health status.
Our NYC Functional Nutritionists take your DUTCH results and translate them into a sustainable, weight-neutral lifestyle plan. We focus on:
Circadian Reset: Aligning your habits with your natural cortisol rhythms.
Nutrient Density: Using “Nutrition by Addition” to provide the raw materials your hormones need to thrive.
Blood Sugar Stability: Minimizing the insulin spikes that disrupt your entire hormonal cascade.
We adhere to a holistic, functional nutrition approach. Women’s health is public health, and we work with patients who struggle with:
One of our expert Dietitian Nutritionists will develop an individualized nutrition plan in response to your body’s hormone needs. Seed cycling protocol is included in our Dutch Test nutrition bundle.
Seed cycling is the practice of eating specific seeds during the two main phases of a woman’s menstrual cycle (the follicular and luteal phases). In our experience, the women who try seed cycling receive many benefits when including flax, pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower seeds in their diets. All seeds are high in fiber, have healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, and contain important vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They help reduce blood glucose levels, cholesterol, and blood pressure.
Seed cycling protocol promotes the use of specific seeds during certain times of a woman’s menstrual cycle to improve menstrual health, reduce uncomfortable PMS symptoms, and be part of a woman’s process to optimize fertility.
Western medicine lags in women’s health and women’s health studies. Insurance often relegates “women’s issues” as elective. In our experience as NYC women’s dietitian nutritionists, we have seen seed cycling genuinely benefit our patients. Bottom line: adding seeds to a woman’s diet is always a healthy thing to do.

We see so many clients who come in because they’re...
Read MoreMany claim to be a nutritionist. But only a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) meets rigorous academic requirements with clinical training, holding a degree from an accredited university. Our RDNs stay informed of guidelines set by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics to provide our patients with expert nutrition counseling.
Our approach is simple: eat what you like, learn to moderate certain foods and make informed food decisions. Start today!.
It takes approximately four weeks to get test results back, but it’s worth the wait. The comprehensive results can give us the big picture on how to better help you. Based on the information from the test, we can develop an individualized diet plan, so you can begin to feel better.
The DUTCH Test® can provide valuable information for your functional nutritionist. Based on test results, we can implement meaningful dietary interventions to improve men’s health and wellness. It’s common for patients to focus on testosterone, but it’s important to understand that many hormones play key roles in symptoms such as fatigue, abdominal weight gain, gynecomastia, male pattern baldness, depression, insomnia, and more.
The short answer is no; most insurance providers do not currently cover the cost of the DUTCH test, as it is considered a specialized functional assessment.
However, there is good news.
While the test kit itself is an out-of-pocket investment, medical nutrition therapy to interpret your results and implement your personalized hormone optimization plan is often covered by insurance. At NYC Nutritionist, we believe that data is only as good as the action plan behind it. Our NYC Functional Nutritionists are experts at translating your DUTCH markers into a clinical roadmap. By billing your consultation sessions to insurance, we help make the most comprehensive hormonal recovery and optimization process accessible and affordable.
