Understand why your energy is low
For you who are tired, exhausted or stressed — and experience low energy, brain fog or a lack of reserves that does not go away with sleep and rest.
Cortisol, methylation and genetic energy capacity
Tiredness and low energy are rarely about one single problem. The DUTCH test maps your cortisol curve and the interplay between your hormones and the stress response. DNA Health analyses the genetic factors that affect your ability to produce energy, handle inflammation and methylate optimally.
Together this answers: What is loading your energy system? Are there genetic causes for your inflammation tendency? And what is the most effective place to intervene?
This programme suits you if you
- Feel tired no matter how much you sleep
- Have brain fog and difficulty concentrating
- Have a sense of chronic stress load
- Want to understand the biological causes of your tiredness
Consider another programme if you
- Mainly have digestive problems (→ Hormone & Gut)
- Need fertility investigation
- Have pronounced cycle symptoms (→ Cycle & Hormone Balance)
“I had slept well — but was still exhausted from morning to night”
Thomas, 41, came to us after eighteen months of low energy, difficulty concentrating and a sense that he never really recovered. He exercised, slept 8 hours and ate sensibly — but it did not help.
The DUTCH test showed a flat cortisol curve — his adrenals responded minimally to morning stimuli and were exhausted in the afternoon. DNA Health revealed genetic variations in methylation capacity and an increased inflammation tendency, both of which loaded energy metabolism.
We worked with active support for the methylation pathway, the cortisol rhythm and inflammation. After 2 months Thomas described himself as “functional again” — and after 4 months as “himself”.

When tiredness is among the biggest problems
The programme is particularly relevant when tiredness and exhaustion are among the biggest problems.
If the tiredness is only a minor part of an otherwise hormonal symptom picture, Hormone Basic will often be a better place to start.
