This seminar will focus on both routine and the most complex cases. It will include a detailed and well referenced manual that will allow the clinician to understand how to interpret male and female hormone profiles, as well as their management to optimize physiology. The expanded course manual is a 200-page sourcebook containing state-of-the-art information on clinical laboratory testing and interpretation, select topics in endocrine metabolism and physiology, case studies with sample reports, and hundreds of peer-reviewed journal citations. Truly, this manual organizes thousands of hours of research and clinical experience into a readily available in-office reference source for clinical practice.
This unique seminar will teach the clinician a simple and thorough thought process to dissect and support complex hormone test patterns in the following areas:
The types of testing that are best suited for various disorders, namely, interpretation of salivary, serum, and urinary hormone profiles.
Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of different types of testing.
Understanding how to identify and manage andropause, the most unrecognized health disorder in males today, and other male hormone disorders.
Understanding how to identify and manage primary and secondary female hormone disorders.
Understanding how to use the latest and most effective natural hormones and metabolic support creams, powders and supplements for optimal patient management.
Understanding how to manage and monitor patients with functional hormone disorders from a clinical practice perspective.
Understanding the complex interconnections of hormone dysfunctions within human metabolism and physiology.
This course will discuss defects at the cellular level including ligand/receptor binding defects, substrate imbalances, signal transduction defects, intercellular communication dysfunctions, abnormal nuclear transcription, and proteomic responses in simple and easy to understand format.
Numerous flow charts and diagrams will be provided in the course material to help understand the orchestration of human metabolism in a straightforward manner.
