The DUTCH™ test is ordered through a qualified practitioner — here's how Canadians do it remotely, without a referral or a local naturopath visit.
No. The DUTCH™ test must be ordered by a qualified practitioner, but you don't need to track down a naturopath in your city. A certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P) contracted by Dutch Test Canada orders your test and reviews your results remotely, anywhere in Canada — no referral, no waitlist for an in-person appointment.
Whether you're in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa, Montreal, Halifax or a rural community, the process is the same and fully remote:
Fill out the online medical history intake form — about 10–15 minutes. Start the intake form →
A contracted FDN-P reviews your intake and orders the right DUTCH™ panel for your goals. No doctor's referral needed.
Your kit ships free to your Canadian address; you collect dried-urine (and saliva, for CAR) samples at home.
Your report is reviewed in the context of your intake, and your practitioner can walk you through what it means.
Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner
Madison reviews intake forms, coordinates DUTCH™ panel orders, and helps Dutch Test Canada clients understand their hormone results. FDN‑P certification involves specialized training in functional lab interpretation — including DUTCH™ hormone panels.
Our contracted practitioners are independent, licensed professionals operating under their own license and insurance — not employees of Dutch Test Canada or Precision Analytical, Inc. Dutch Test Canada acts as an administrative intermediary between you, the practitioner, and the laboratory. We encourage every client to also share results with their primary healthcare provider; functional insight complements — it does not replace — conventional care.

Either way, you don't need a referral, and you don't need to live near a specific clinic.
No. The test must be ordered by a qualified practitioner, but that does not have to be a naturopath you find locally. A certified FDN-P contracted by Dutch Test Canada can order it for you and review your results — no in-person naturopath appointment or referral required.
Yes — the process is remote and identical anywhere in Canada. Your kit ships to your address, you collect samples at home, and your practitioner reviews the results. There's no local office to visit.
