Advanced Hormone Testing

Storm from Functional Naturopathy

Hey Neighbor's I am your local Naturopath & Medical Herbalist with a special focus on Women's health and wellness.
I thought I would pop in and talk you about the advanced hormone testing I offer in my clinic.

I see women everyday who say to me "I AM SICK OF THE TESTS NOT SHOWING ANYTHING 🤷‍♀️ But, I still have all the signs and symptoms of hormone imbalance"

If this is you - it's simply because you haven't had the RIGHT tests done!

The standard blood test 💉is a great first step but it still can't give you the whole picture when it comes to your hormone health.

This is where advanced hormone testing comes in; the DUTCH Test (Dried Urine Comprehensive Testing)
!

So, what are the difference's between getting a blood test or the advanced dried urine test?

🩸Blood - one blood sample taken mid-cycle
🔬DUTCH - urine samples collected 4-5x mid-cycle, options for full month tracking to monitor your hormones throughout your entire cycle

🩸Blood - tests for estradiol, or total estrogen
🔬DUTCH - tests for all three estrogens; estradiol, estrone & estriol, total estrogen AND estrogen metabolites; 2-OH, 4-Oh and 16-OH, AND their detoxification through two methylation markers.

🩸Blood - tests for progesterone
🔬DUTCH - tests for alpha & beta progesterone

🩸Blood - tests for testosterone
🔬DUTCH - tests for DHEA, testosterone, Etiocholanolone, androsterone AND detoxification pathways of 5a & 5B reductase.

🩸Blood - tests for cortisol once in day
🔬DUTCH - tests for 24 hour free cortisol, 24 hour free cortisone, waking, morning, afternoon & evening values of cortisol & a-THF, b-THF, B-THE & DHEA-S


If blood labs ranges aren't giving you answers, come in - let's get you tested and find out what is really happening in the body 👩‍⚕️

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
