Navigating Perimenopause and Menopause Gracefully (CE)

Speaker

Women today face more health challenges than ever before, from hormonal imbalances to increasing rates of mood, cardiovascular, and metabolic concerns. It’s clear that women’s health is often approached with generalized solutions rather than personalized care—too often relying on interventions like birth control, ablations, or hysterectomies instead of exploring the underlying factors that may be contributing to hormonal imbalance. 

Practicing endocrine wellness effectively with female patients is simply a matter of understanding a few key principles, knowing how to test and interpret findings, supporting lifestyle modifications, and choosing the most effective protocols for change. 

This presentation will provide practitioners with the tools to better support women through hormonal transitions. Attendees will explore core endocrine principles, effective testing and evaluation, and how to prioritize findings to recommend supplements and lifestyle strategies. From adrenal and thyroid support to bioidentical hormone therapy, this course offers practical insights that practitioners can implement immediately to help women achieve greater balance and vitality.

Attendees will learn to:

  • Identify key hormonal and physiological changes that occur during peri-menopause and menopause, including common symptoms and related conditions affecting women in this age range.
  • Describe the regulation of the endocrine system, including the hypothalamic-pituitary axis and the roles of the adrenal and thyroid glands in female hormonal balance. 
  • Demonstrate an understanding of appropriate clinical testing and evaluation methods to assess endocrine function and guide individualized recommendations. 
  • Develop effective case management strategies that integrate targeted nutritional, lifestyle, and evidence-informed hormonal support to promote optimal endocrine wellness in female patients. 

Along with case studies and Standard Process clinical product application that can be used in practice Monday morning!
