"Most women I see have been told their hormones are normal. Functional testing shows me a completely different story not just what your hormones are, but how your body is making, using, and clearing them."

Dr Amanda Waaldyk · Doctor of Chinese Medicin

What I test in clinic

Testing that goes beyond the standard.

Every test is ordered through a consultation, interpreted by me, and woven into your treatment protocol.

01 — Precision Analytical

DUTCH Complete

Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones

The internationally recognised gold standard in functional hormone testing. DUTCH measures sex hormones, adrenal hormones and their metabolites, the full 24-hour cortisol pattern, organic acids, melatonin, and oxidative stress markers — all from a simple at-home dried urine collection. It shows not just your hormone levels, but how your body is producing, metabolising, and clearing them. For women who have been told their hormones are normal and feel anything but, this is often where answers begin.

02 — NutriPath · Test Code 1501

EndoMAP

Advanced Dried Urine Hormone Profile

NutriPath's most advanced dried urine hormone test — and the one I reach for most often in complex cases. The EndoMAP reports 35+ markers including oestrogen and its metabolites, progesterone, androgens, cortisol rhythm, melatonin, organic acids, and environmental exposure markers. It maps the complete hormone cascade — how hormones are produced, metabolised, and cleared — including whether oestrogen is being broken down through protective or potentially harmful pathways. Australia's equivalent of the DUTCH Advanced panel, processed by an accredited Australian laboratory.

03 — NutriPath

Gut Microbiome Testing

Comprehensive Digestive & Stool Analysis

The gut and the hormonal system are inseparable. An imbalanced gut microbiome disrupts oestrogen clearance, drives inflammation, impairs nutrient absorption, and undermines every hormonal treatment we put in place. NutriPath's comprehensive stool analysis assesses the diversity and balance of your gut microbiome, digestive function, intestinal permeability, and inflammatory markers — giving us the foundation we need to address hormonal health from the inside out.

04 — NutriPath

Vaginal Microbiome Testing

Vaginal Ecology & Immune Health

The vaginal microbiome is profoundly affected by hormonal fluctuations — across the menstrual cycle, during perimenopause, and with conditions like PCOS and endometriosis. NutriPath vaginal microbiome testing assesses the balance of protective and dysbiotic organisms, giving us clinical insight into recurrent infections, pelvic inflammatory concerns, fertility preparation, and the downstream effects of oestrogen decline. Often overlooked. Always relevant.

05 — NutriPath Integrative Pathology

Full NutriPath Testing Suite

200+ functional tests across hormones, gut, thyroid, nutrients, immunity and more

NutriPath is Australia's leading integrative and functional pathology laboratory, offering over 200 specialty tests across hormonal health, thyroid function, adrenal assessment, gut health, nutritional status, immune function, food sensitivities, heavy metals, and genetic markers. I draw on the full NutriPath test suite to investigate whatever your clinical picture requires — ordering precisely what will give us the most relevant data for your presentation, not a blanket panel.

"Functional testing doesn't just tell me what is happening. It tells me why. And why is where treatment begins."
