Overview

DNA Hormones is a DNA-based nutrigenetic test assessing genetic variation influencing sex hormone production, transport, metabolism, clearance and clotting risk. The panel focuses on biological systems that contribute to hormonal production and regulation in both men and women, helping practitioners explore how inherited differences may shape hormonal physiology across the lifespan.

The profile includes pathways involved in steroid hormone synthesis, hormone binding and detoxification processes that influence how hormones are activated, converted and eliminated. Genetic variation in these systems may contribute to differences in hormone availability, metabolite balance, hormone handling or individual responses to hormonal transitions such as puberty, perimenopause or ageing. Coagulation-related markers are also included to provide additional context when hormone therapy or contraception is being considered.

Results are interpreted alongside symptom history, life stage, lifestyle factors and nutritional status. Integrating genetic information with clinical context can support more personalised discussion around nutrition, lifestyle planning and longer-term hormonal health monitoring. The DNA Hormone DUTCH test pairing overlaps to give deeper insights into genetic influences and how they may be playing out in real time hormone balance or dysregulation.

Practical

Test type:

The test is suitable for those who are suffering from, or have a family history of, any hormone related disorder or experiencing symptoms that might be related to imbalanced hormone metabolism. Hormone related disorders include endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), (sub)fertility, earlier onset of, and heightened symptoms in menopause, bone health disorders, thrombosis, as well as breast, ovarian and prostate cancer.
It is also beneficial for anyone taking/considering hormone therapy (contraceptive or replacement therapy) for insights into potential clotting risk and to ensure detoxification pathways are optimally supported.
