THE ENDO RESET
Hormone testing that tells you what's actually driving your endo symptoms
For women with diagnosed or suspected endo whose pain, fatigue and bloating still don’t have an explanation. The Endo Reset uses advanced dried urine testing to look at your hormones, how your body is clearing them, and what’s adding to the load, then I build your plan from what we find.

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR
You’ve been told your pain is normal for years.
You know it isn’t. You just can’t get anyone to see it.
Pain that stops your week. Fatigue you can’t outrun. Bloating with no clear cause. Mood shifts that feel like someone else. Tests that came back with nothing conclusive. A laparoscopy that helped for a while, then stopped. The pill, tried and hated. Gluten and dairy, cut for months, no real change.
Endo is exhausting when every answer stops at “manage it”. This is where someone finally takes it seriously. I’ve lived with endo, and I know what it takes to start feeling better: support built around your body, guided by testing that shows what’s driving your symptoms.
Endo isn’t just a “too much oestrogen” problem
You’ve probably been told endo is driven by too much oestrogen. So you’ve cut the foods, taken the supplements, maybe tried the pill. And you’re still in pain, still exhausted, still wondering what you’re doing wrong.
You’re not doing anything wrong. Oestrogen plays a role, but the answers usually sit in how your body breaks down, neutralises and clears your hormones. Most women with endo show one or more of four patterns, and each one needs something different.
The EndoMAP shows which ones are yours.
Heavy, painful periods that flare with your cycle?
The oestrogen pathway pattern. Your body breaks oestrogen down three ways. When more goes down the 4-OH or 16-OH routes instead of the protective 2-OH, you get byproducts that drive inflammation and keep oestrogen strongly active.
Tired, foggy, and worse since coming off the pill?
The slow methylation pattern. Methylation neutralises oestrogen byproducts. When it’s slow, the damaging ones hang around longer. It relies on magnesium, folate, B6 and B12, which the pill can deplete.
Wired at night, flat in the morning, flares in stressful seasons?
The cortisol and nervous system pattern. When your cortisol rhythm is off, it can disrupt ovulation and progesterone, and keep your nervous system on high alert so pain feels louder.
Bloating, sluggish bowels, flares after certain foods?
The clearance pattern. Oestrogen leaves through your liver and gut. When glutathione is low or gut bacteria are out of balance, it can be reabsorbed and recirculate.
THE ENDOMAP
What the Endo Reset looks at
The EndoMAP is a dried urine test you do at home. You collect four small samples across one day, which shows how your hormones rise, fall and clear over 24 hours rather than at a single moment.
It covers nine areas. Together they show which of the four patterns are yours, and where your plan should start.
How your body clears oestrogen
This is where the oestrogen pathway and methylation patterns show up. Your body has several routes for breaking oestrogen down and getting rid of it. Some of those routes are protective. Others produce byproducts that can drive inflammation, cell damage, and the exact symptoms endo is known for. Oestrogen dominance is not about how much oestrogen you have. It is about what your body is doing with it.
The full oestrogen picture
Not just one number. EndoMAP measures all three types of oestrogen your body makes (oestrone, oestradiol, oestriol) and how they balance against each other. This is what tells us whether you are sitting in oestrogen dominance, which is a driver in most cases of endometriosis, and it is a level of detail a standard blood test cannot give.

Progesterone and its calming byproducts
Progesterone itself, plus the byproducts your body makes when it breaks progesterone down. Each of those byproducts does a different job. Some are calming and sleep-supportive, some steady your mood in the second half of your cycle, and some influence how your body holds fluid and manages blood pressure premenstrually. When any of these are off, you can have progesterone on paper and still feel anxious, wired at night, puffy, headachey, or knocked flat by PMS. You also see your progesterone-to-oestrogen ratio, which is often more useful than either hormone measured alone.

Androgens
Testosterone, DHEA, and the metabolites they break down into. This matters because two women can have the same testosterone number on a blood test and completely different symptoms, and it comes down to which pathway their body is sending those androgens down. One pathway supports energy, drive, libido, mood, and lean muscle. The other drives the symptoms most women recognise as "hormonal", including acne along the jaw and chin, oilier skin, unwanted facial or body hair, and hair thinning at the crown. Relevant for endometriosis, and central for anyone with PCOS features alongside their endo.

Your daily cortisol pattern
Your stress hormones (cortisol and cortisone) measured at four points across the day, not once in a single blood draw. This shows your actual daily rhythm. It picks up patterns standard testing misses completely, like a normal total cortisol that is still poorly regulated hour by hour. Relevant if you feel wired at night, flat in the morning, or crash in the afternoon.
Melatonin across the day
Melatonin is not only a sleep hormone. It is one of the strongest antioxidants and anti-inflammatories your body makes, and it plays a direct role in hormone-sensitive conditions including endometriosis. Low or disrupted melatonin patterns are common and almost never tested.
.webp)
Endocrine disruptor exposure
The everyday chemicals that interfere with your hormones from the outside. Things like BPA (found in plastics, receipts, food packaging), PFAS and PFOA (in non-stick coatings, waterproofing, and cosmetics), and heavy metals including lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and aluminium. Your GP cannot test for these. For endometriosis specifically, this exposure load matters.
Nutrient status where it counts
A set of functional markers that shows whether your body actually has the nutrients it needs to do all the hormone processing work above. Not just B12 on paper. Whether your body is using B6, folate, methylation cofactors, and glutathione (your body's master antioxidant) properly. Plus markers of oxidative stress and neuroinflammation.
Gut markers relevant to hormones
This is not a stool test, but several markers on the panel reveal how your gut is influencing your hormone load. Your gut plays a direct role in clearing oestrogen out of your body. When that clearance is not working, oestrogen recirculates. That shows up here.

A plan that works on more than your hormones
Endo involves your hormones, inflammation, immune function and your gut all at once. Your results show which patterns are driving your symptoms, and your plan works on all of them together, in the order that will make the biggest difference first.
What women work towards
-
Less pain through your period and the rest of your cycle
-
Fewer and milder flares
-
Less bloating, and a gut that feels settled
-
Steadier energy through the day
-
Calmer mood across your cycle
-
Better sleep
-
Feeling like you understand your body again
-
If pregnancy is part of your plans, we factor that in from the start.

Registered member of NMHNZ - Naturopaths and Medical Herbalists of New Zealand
I’m Tegan, a naturopath and medical herbalist helping women across New Zealand. I’ve lived with endometriosis, alongside PCOS, ovarian cysts and hormonal acne. I know what it’s like to have tests come back normal while your body is clearly telling you otherwise.
That’s why I became a naturopath. I wanted to understand the why, not just manage the what. Over a decade of clinical and personal experience later, testing is still the thing that changes the most for the women I work with.
The Endo Reset is the investigation I wish I’d had. Not another protocol to try, but a clear look at what your body is doing, and a plan built from that.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Comprehensive intake form
Your full health history captured before we meet, so your first session goes deeper rather than covering the basics.
60-minute reset initial consultation
We go through your cycles, pain, symptoms, history and goals, and start mapping out which patterns your picture points to.

How the Reset works
Two ways to start. Book your reset initial consultation directly if you are ready to go, or book a free Reset Check-In Call first if you would like to talk it through.
01
Book in
Book your initial consultation directly, or start with a free 15-minuteDiscovery Call if you would like to check the Reset is the right fit first.
02
Intake and payment
Your intake forms come through automatically once you book. I will issue your invoice, and your testing is ordered as soon as payment is received.
03
Your initial consultation
A 60-minute session covering your full history, current symptoms, and what you want the Reset to answer.
04
Complete your test
Your kit arrives by courier. You collect four dried urine samples in one day, at the correct timing for your cycle, and send the kit to the lab.
05
Your strategy session
Once results are back (10 to 15 working days from the lab receiving your sample), we meet for 60 minutes to walk through your results and your personalised health plan.
Beautiful words from Naturalist women.
"I'd been dealing with endo symptoms for years and had basically given up on getting real answers, just another round of 'try this diet' or 'see how you go on the pill.' I decided to try the Endo Reset because I wanted actual data, not more guessing.
Getting my EndoMAP results back was honestly a relief. For the first time, I could see what was actually going on with my hormones instead of just being told my bloods were 'normal.' The strategy session was really thorough, Tegan walked me through everything in plain English and I left with a plan that made sense for my body specifically, not a generic list.
If you're on the fence, I'd say just do it. It's the first thing that's actually given me real clarity instead of more guesswork."
Lara | Naturalist Client
"I'd tried so many things before the Reset, cutting out gluten and dairy, different supplements, even changing my exercise, and nothing really moved the needle. What I actually needed was to understand why my body was reacting the way it was, not another thing to try blind.
The EndoMAP test was easy to do at home, and the report Tegan sent through actually made sense, it didn't feel like reading a medical file in another language. My results showed some patterns I never would have guessed on my own, and having a plan built around that instead of a generic protocol has made a real difference.
It's not a quick fix, and I don't think it claims to be. But it's the first time I've felt like someone actually looked at my whole picture instead of guessing at pieces of it."
Ruby | Naturalist Client
"Did the Endo Reset after years of being told my symptoms were probably 'just endo, manage it as best you can.' The test itself was simple, four samples over one day at home, nothing complicated.
What I liked most was that the results actually explained things, not just numbers on a page but what they meant for me specifically. My plan wasn't a generic list either, it was built around what my results actually showed.
Would recommend if you're tired of guessing."

Frequently asked questions
Not at all. A strong clinical suspicion is enough, and many of the women I work with come to the Reset without a laparoscopy on file. The EndoMAP gives us a clear picture of what your hormones are doing either way, and we can talk through your history and symptoms in your initial consultation.
No referral needed. You are welcome to book directly. If you would like to loop your GP in at any point, or share your report with them afterwards, that is completely your call and I am happy to support either way.
Yes, and you do not need to stop anything. The EndoMAP is designed to be run while you are on hormonal medication, and your prescription is factored into how I read and interpret your results. This is a common question and it is genuinely not a barrier.
Your GP does incredible work within the system they are in, and standard blood work has its place. What the EndoMAP does differently is show how your body is processing your hormones over a full day, including metabolism pathways, cortisol rhythm, endocrine disruptor exposure, and functional nutrient markers. It is a level of detail standard testing is not designed to give, and it is where the answers for endo often live.
Not at all. The Reset is delivered fully online for clients anywhere in New Zealand. Your test kit is couriered directly to your home, and all consultations are on video call.
For cycling women, collection is 5 to 7 days post-ovulation, which for most cycles falls in the week before your period is due. We confirm your exact window together, either before your initial consultation or during it, so you do not need to figure it out on your own. If your cycle is irregular, absent, or you are on hormonal contraception, we work out the right timing for your situation.
It moves at the pace of your cycle. Your test window is set by where you are when you start, and the lab takes 10 to 15 working days to return your results. From there we book your strategy session as soon as they are in. I will guide you through each step so nothing is left to guess.
