Hormone Testing in Jacksonville, FL (DUTCH Test & More)

Comprehensive Hormone Testing in Jacksonville, FL

Hormones regulate virtually every system in the body: energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, libido, inflammation and immune function. When hormone levels are off, even subtly, you feel it everywhere. Yet most standard hormone testing checks only a few basic markers and misses the complete picture.

At Meridian Integrative Wellness, we offer hormone testing in Jacksonville, FL that goes beyond standard lab panels. Our clinical team looks at the full hormonal picture: not just whether you are “in range,” but whether your hormones are balanced for how you actually feel and function.

Signs You May Have a Hormonal Imbalance

• Chronic fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
• Weight gain or inability to lose weight despite diet and exercise
• Brain fog, poor concentration, or memory issues
• Anxiety, depression, or mood swings
• Poor sleep or waking unrefreshed
• Low libido or sexual dysfunction
• Irregular, heavy, or painful periods
• PMS symptoms, perimenopause, or menopause difficulties
• Hair thinning or loss
• Dry skin, cold sensitivity, or feeling cold all the time
• Low motivation or drive

Looking for a hormone doctor near you?

Most people searching for a hormone doctor want three things: someone who will test more than one number, someone who will explain the results in plain language, and a plan that changes how they feel. That is how our functional medicine visits work. Your first visit runs 45 to 60 minutes. We go through your symptoms, history, cycle, sleep, stress and diet, decide which tests fit, and set a plan once the results are back. Follow-up visits can be done by video once you are an established patient.

We see hormone patients at our Southside Jacksonville office on Old Baymeadows Road, (904) 379-9412, and our Orange Park office, (904) 541-4826. Both are open Monday through Thursday 9am–7pm and Friday 8am–5pm.

The DUTCH Test — Advanced Hormone Analysis

The DUTCH Complete Hormone Test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) is a detailed hormone panel you collect at home. Unlike a standard blood test that captures hormone levels at a single moment, the DUTCH test measures hormones and their metabolites across a full day, which shows patterns a single blood draw can miss.

The DUTCH Complete measures:

• Estrogen and metabolites — estradiol, estrone, estriol, and the 2-OH, 4-OH and 16-OH estrogen metabolite pathways that show how your body processes estrogen
• Progesterone and metabolites — your body’s own progesterone production
• Testosterone and metabolites — DHT conversion and androgen balance
• Cortisol and cortisone — a 4-point daily pattern showing how cortisol rises and falls through the day
• DHEA-S — an adrenal hormone
• Melatonin — sleep regulation and circadian rhythm
• Neurotransmitter metabolites — dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin breakdown products
• Organic acid markers — B12, B6, glutathione and oxidative stress indicators

Comprehensive Thyroid Panel

Standard thyroid testing often measures only TSH, and TSH can look normal even when the thyroid is not working well. Our thyroid panel includes TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, TPO antibodies and thyroglobulin antibodies. That full picture helps identify Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, poor T4-to-T3 conversion and thyroid autoimmunity that a TSH-only test can miss.

Adrenal and Cortisol Testing

Stress and HPA axis problems are a common driver of fatigue, burnout and hormonal imbalance. The DUTCH test’s 4-point cortisol curve shows whether your cortisol rises properly in the morning, runs low all day, or is out of rhythm, and each pattern calls for a different plan.

Why we start with your gut

Our hormone work follows a set order: gut first, then adrenals, then sex hormones. Your gut absorbs the nutrients hormones are built from and helps clear used hormones out of the body. When digestion is off, hormone work tends to stall. So if your history points to gut problems, we address them first, often with the Organic Acids Test, and then move to the adrenal and hormone plan. Doing it in this order keeps the hormone plan from working against an untreated gut.

Sex Hormone Testing for Men and Women

Hormone imbalances affect both men and women, though the patterns differ. For women, we look at estrogen dominance, low progesterone, perimenopause changes and androgen excess (PCOS). For men, we look at testosterone decline, estrogen excess, DHT conversion and adrenal function. Plans are individualized and may include targeted nutrition, supplementation, stress and sleep work, and, when appropriate, coordination with an endocrinologist for hormone replacement therapy.
