A hormonal-balance and clearance pattern considered through reproductive hormone relationships, symptoms, history, metabolic processing, and practitioner interpretation.
Pufferfish brings reproductive hormone relationships and clearance into the same conversation. The practitioner reviews symptoms and history alongside relevant hormone information and metabolic processing rather than interpreting one value on its own.
The archetype is a way to organize information for practitioner review. It is not a diagnosis and does not mean every person with this pattern will have the same symptoms or needs.
The approved clinical protocol maps Pufferfish to estrogen-dominance/progesterone-deficiency patterns and impaired estrogen metabolism. These are practitioner framework concepts and do not establish a diagnosis by themselves.
The approved TCM lens is Liver Qi Stagnation with Blood Stasis and Phlegm. In the DYD framework, this describes a pattern of constrained movement and accumulation that must be differentiated by a qualified practitioner in the context of the individual.
A primary archetype may also appear alongside supporting archetype influences. When supported by approved DYD logic, this combination may be described as a Metabolic Constellation. The purpose is not to add more labels—it is to help the practitioner see how multiple patterns may interact within the whole clinical picture.
Decode Your Dolphin helps connect symptoms, bloodwork, health history, questionnaire information, and clinical patterns into a clearer framework for review and communication. Technology may help organize information, but clinical interpretation and decisions remain with the practitioner.
