What You’ll Get From Your Consultation

The 60 minute consultation means you’ll get in-depth analysis from my 18 years as a Naturopath,  and the experience from my 14 years as Head Practitioner of Planet Naturopath, where I’ve done thousands of consultations with clients to help them find natural solutions to their health issues.

You also get the knowledge and expertise I’ve acquired over the years, learning from pioneers in the field of Functional and Integrative Medicine, like genetic expert Dr. Ben Lynch. As well as my continuing education and ongoing studies and certifications with specialists like Dr. Daniel Kalish, Chris Kresser, and Dr Datsis Kharrazian.

The core principle that I’ve adapted from my studies for Planet Naturopath is to focus on functional pathology testing to discover the underlying cause of someone’s health issues. And to use a systematic approach that treats each person’s whole body and not just focus on their symptoms like conventional medicine.

Planet Naturopath’s treatment philosophy is proactive prevention. It uses a “real” food approach to diet, stress reduction, improving sleep quality, and improving lifestyle choices so you can take control of your health naturally and not rely on unnecessary medications.

To get a snapshot of the in-depth analysis our consultations provide, take a look at this short preview video below. I’ll take you through a quick tour of the DUTCH Test results. You’ll not only see how the test works, but the type of information you can learn from your results.

Your hormones being in balance, along with optimal digestion is the key to good health! The DUTCH Test will let you know exactly what is happening with your adrenal hormones and sex hormones, and a plan from Planet Naturopath will help you to optimize your health.

That’s why the DUTCH Test is so important…

Wouldn’t it make sense to start with the most comprehensive hormone testing available? The information that you learn from this test will help me to help you get your health back on track.

What does the DUTCH Test measure?

The DUTCH test is the most advanced and comprehensive hormone test on the market because it measures your hormones and hormone metabolites, which assesses hormone production and hormone breakdown.

The DUTCH test measures these hormones and metabolites:

Sex Hormones & Metabolites: 

  • Estrogens – The balance between estrogen and progesterone is important for fertility, PMS and menopausal symptoms.
  • Estrogen metabolites – These metabolites show how your body is detoxifying estrogen. If not optimized, it can increase your risk of breast cancer, prostate cancer, cysts and fibroids.
  • Testosterone – there is an optimal range for men and women which is associated with vitality and wellbeing, low levels can affect mood, fertility, libido and athletic performance.
  • Progesterone metabolites – (a-pregnanediol, b-pregnanediol) will indicate your total progesterone levels, these are also precursors to make the neurotransmitter GABA. Low progesterone levels can lead to PMS symptoms and infertility.
  • Androgen metabolites of DHEAS and Testosterone – this is important to assess how well your body is processing testosterone, if it is metabolized down the 5a-DHT pathway this can cause hair loss, skin problems, aggression and even increase prostate cancer risk in men.

Adrenal Hormones & Metabolites:

  • Total metabolized cortisol – this shows you how much cortisol your body is making over the entire day and can be very different to the free cortisol level. The amount of cortisol you are producing will help to guide your treatment plan.
  • Total cortisone – tells us how quickly your body is deactivating cortisol to cortisone.
  • Free cortisol – this shows you the active levels of cortisol in your body, the level and rhythm of free cortisol will help to guide your treatment plan.
  • Free cortisone – plus the metabolites of cortisone to show how quickly cortisol is getting deactivated to cortisone, this will help to guide us on the best treatment strategy for you.
  • Tetrahyrdocortisone – this is a metabolite of cortisone;
  • a-tetrahydrocortisol – this is a metabolite of cortisol;
  • b-tetrahydrocortisol – this is a metabolite of cortisol.
  • DHEAs – is a precursor to testosterone and estrogen, a high level can indicate PCOS and inflammation, a low level can indicate adrenal insufficiency.

Organic Acids:

  • Just added to the DUTCH test are markers for neurotransmitters, B12, B6 and glutathione.

Melatonin:  

  • 6-OH-melatonin-sulfate – which assesses melatonin production, low melatonin can affect sleep quality making it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep. Melatonin also has antioxidant affects which can help to protect the brain and improve mood.

Hi, my name is Michael Smith, ND BHSC and Head Practitioner at Planet Naturopath.

While I don’t know the exact reason you’re interested in doing the DUTCH hormone test, I do know you’re searching for answers.

Whether that means looking for natural solutions to chronic health problems, finding out the cause of your fatigue, eliminating hormone symptoms, or just wanting to optimize your health.

If you want to find those answers, I can tell you the best way to start...is with testing.

But not just any old test. Doctors only offer basic pathology tests, and often these tests come back showing that “everything is fine”, yet you feel far from feeling great.

Our DUTCH hormone test, on the other hand, looks at a wider range of hormones, as well as assessing how your body is metabolizing and detoxifying these hormones, this is important for overall health and reducing cancer risk.

But what makes the DUTCH Test from Planet Naturopath invaluable, is what happens after you get your results. With our 60 minute in-depth one on one consultation, I’ll explain what your results actually mean to you, your health, and your body.

This is the fun part for me, because as Head Practitioner I enjoy doing all the consultations with our clients. My passion is helping people find natural solutions to optimize their health.

I’ll give you the complete details on how the consultations work and how they can benefit you.

Let me analyze your results, give you a breakdown of what your ranges mean - whether they’re elevated, normal, or low. And answer any questions you might have - plus give you options and recommendations on how you can optimize your heart health.

At Planet Naturopath, we want you to feel safe, confident, and secure when you purchase any of our tests, knowing that you’re protected by our:

100% Money Back Guarantee

If you’re not satisfied with the service we provide at Planet Naturopath – let us know within 30 days and you’ll receive a full refund. No questions asked.

Now obviously, we can’t guarantee that your results will be good - that’s kinda the whole reason you’re here right? To see where you’re at and what natural solutions are available to improve your health…

But we will guarantee you’ll get the best service and most professional and personalized advice available to help optimize your health with natural solutions.

We understand how frustrating it can be when you don’t feel right - but yet you’re told by a doctor there’s nothing wrong.

A Planet Naturopath we believe your health is the key to a long and happy life. And want to be there to help when you don’t get the answers you want through conventional medicine.

Yours in good health.

Customer Testimonials

”

I would recommend Michael's service to anyone with digestive issues, hormone imbalances (including women who are having a terrible time of peri/menopause symptoms), unexplained or sudden weight gain, and health associated anxiety. These were all my symptoms. Under Michael's expert and precise, compassionate and thoughtful guidance, I have been able to regain a normal life again.

Everyone thought I had a thyroid problem because high estrogen shares the same symptoms as hypothyroidism. I hardly ate anything unnatural or highly inflammatory and kept my calories at 1400 daily plus did HIT training, strength based training and moderate exercise too like walking and yoga. I took the recommended supplements and great news, I'm now down to 69kgs in a few months of doing EXACTLY what you suggested.
