NutriPATH EndoMAP Hormone Test

What It Is

Australia's most advanced dried urine hormone panel. The EndoMAP goes far beyond standard blood or saliva hormone tests by measuring over 35 markers, including not just your hormone levels but how your body metabolises, converts and clears those hormones. It covers the four key hormone pathways (oestrogen, progesterone, androgen and glucocorticoid), along with cortisol patterns across the day, melatonin, endocrine disruptors, heavy metals and selected organic acids. All from a simple at-home urine collection.

What It Measures

Oestrogen Pathway

  • Estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), estriol (E3)

  • Phase 1 metabolites: 2-OH, 4-OH and 16a-OH oestrone

  • Methylation markers: 2-MeO and 4-MeO estrone and estradiol (reveal how well your body is detoxifying oestrogen)

Progesterone Pathway

  • Pregnanediol

  • Allopregnanolone

  • Allopregnanediol

  • Related metabolites

Androgen Pathway

  • Testosterone and epi-testosterone

  • DHEA and androstenedione

  • Androsterone and etiocholanolone

  • 5a-DHT and 5a3a-androstanediol

Cortisol and Adrenal Function

  • Free cortisol and cortisone measured at four time points across the day (morning, midday, afternoon, evening)

  • Total cortisol and cortisone

  • Cortisol/cortisone ratio

  • Tetrahydrocortisol, tetrahydrocortisone

  • Corticosterone and deoxycorticosterone

Melatonin

  • Measured at four time points to assess your sleep hormone rhythm and night-time recovery capacity

Endocrine Disruptors and Heavy Metals

  • BPA (bisphenol A)

  • PFOA, PFOS

  • Aluminium, arsenic, cadmium, chromium

  • Lead, mercury, nickel

Organic Acid Markers

  • 8-OHdG (oxidative stress)

  • Methylmalonate, pyroglutamate

  • Homovanillate, kynurenate, quinolinate, xanthurenate

  • B-hydroxyisovalerate, indican

  • These reveal detoxification capacity, nutrient needs, neurotransmitter metabolism and inflammatory load

Who This Is For

  • PMS, irregular or painful periods, PCOS

  • Perimenopause or menopause symptoms

  • Low libido, infertility or hormonal acne

  • Hair thinning, mood swings or anxiety

  • Sleep disturbance, chronic fatigue or brain fog

  • Weight resistance

  • Currently on hormone replacement therapy and needing precise monitoring

  • Suspected environmental toxin exposure affecting hormones

Why It Matters

Two people with identical blood hormone levels can feel completely different. The reason lies in metabolism. How your body breaks down, converts and eliminates hormones determines your symptoms just as much as the hormones themselves. If your body is pushing oestrogen down a problematic metabolic pathway, or converting too much cortisol to cortisone, or poorly methylating oestrogen metabolites, none of that will show up on a standard blood test. The EndoMAP shows the full cascade, giving us the precision needed to address root causes rather than just managing symptoms.

How It Works

  • Order through the Genesis Functional Health website

  • A collection kit will be mailed to your door with detailed instructions

  • Collect dried urine samples on filter paper strips at four intervals across a 24-hour period (morning, midday, afternoon and evening)

  • Once the strips are dry, return them in the provided packaging

  • For cycling women, the test is typically performed between days 19 and 22 of your cycle

  • Avoid hormone supplements for 48 hours prior to collection if possible (always discuss this with your practitioner first)

  • Results are usually available within 7 to 10 business days

  • A follow-up consultation is then booked to walk through your hormone map in detail and create a targeted treatment plan
