From insulin resistance to chronic inflammation, adrenal stress, or post-birth control shifts, every woman’s PCOS has a root cause.

In this post, we’ll explore the most common PCOS types and why a root-cause approach changes everything.

Many women struggle with symptoms like bloating, migraines, skin rashes, anxiety, or intense PMS—only to be told “it’s just part of your cycle.” But what if there’s more to the story? Recent insights show that histamine intolerance can actually fluctuate with hormonal changes throughout the menstrual cycle. When estrogen rises, your body’s ability to break down histamine decreases, making you more reactive to everyday foods and triggering a cascade of uncomfortable symptoms. In this post, we’ll unpack the connection between histamine and hormones—and explore how functional testing like the GI-MAP, DUTCH test, and detailed symptom mapping can uncover the root cause and guide lasting relief.

Struggling With Hormones? Here’s the Test We Use to Finally Get Answers (When Blood Work Fails)

If you’ve ever been told “your labs are normal” while still dealing with fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, weight changes, or painful periods—you’re not alone. Most standard hormone testing only scratches the surface. It gives us a snapshot, not the full story.

At Bloomed Wellness, we use the DUTCH Test with our 1:1 clients because it goes deeper—mapping out your cortisol rhythm, estrogen detox pathways, progesterone levels, and adrenal function in a way that blood work simply can’t.

This is the test we turn to when symptoms don’t make sense, when nothing seems to work, and when our clients are ready for real answers.

If you're feeling tired but wired, bloated and burnt out, or stuck in cycles of hormonal chaos—this test can change everything.

Because healing starts with clarity. And the DUTCH Test gives us exactly that.

The feminine archetypes offer profound insight into different expressions of femininity.
