Hormone Testing & BHRT

Comprehensive hormone testing and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) led by Dr Ritoo Chhabra, trained under Dr Thierry Hertoghe. Services include DUTCH Complete urine hormone and metabolite analysis via Precision Analytics, saliva hormone testing via Nutripath, and personalised BHRT protocols for menopause, andropause, PCOS, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and adrenal fatigue. All testing ordered and interpreted by a hormone-specialist GP.

Sydney Functional Medicine offers one of Sydney's most thorough hormone evaluation and management services, led by Dr Ritoo Chhabra, a Fellow of the Australasian and American Academies of Anti-Ageing and Regenerative Medicine who received advanced clinical training in hormone medicine under Dr Thierry Hertoghe — widely regarded as the world's leading expert in hormone and longevity medicine. Hormone assessment at this Macquarie Park clinic goes far beyond standard GP blood tests. The primary diagnostic platform is DUTCH Complete testing — a dried urine collection method offered by Precision Analytics that measures not only estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-S, and cortisol levels, but also their downstream metabolites, providing a uniquely detailed picture of hormone production, conversion, and clearance pathways. This metabolite-level view is critical for understanding oestrogen dominance, impaired cortisol clearance, androgen conversion patterns, and detoxification capacity — information that a serum hormone panel alone cannot capture. Saliva hormone testing via Nutripath is used for free-fraction hormones that reflect bioavailable levels at tissue level. Dr Chhabra interprets results within the context of a patient's complete clinical presentation, ordering tests after an in-depth initial consultation that covers medical history, symptoms, lifestyle, and health goals. Treatment protocols incorporating bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) are individualised and may include transdermal oestrogen and progesterone, DHEA, testosterone, pregnenolone, thyroid support, and adrenal adaptogens depending on test findings. Conditions commonly managed include perimenopause and menopause, andropause (male hormone decline), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), Hashimoto's thyroiditis, adrenal fatigue, and age-related hormonal imbalance. For patients in Sydney, New South Wales, and beyond, this clinic represents a specialist resource combining GP registration, advanced anti-ageing credentials, and functional medicine expertise in the one practitioner.
