BHRT Part 1: Discover The Power of BHRT
BHRT Part 1 is a Bioidentical hormone training online workshop involving an in-depth scientific literature review of HRT fundamentals, case presentations, and case management, an approach designed to help physicians successfully and knowledgeably treat their patients, whether younger or older, male or female, premenopausal, postmenopausal, or andropausal.

BHRT Course Overview
Worldlink Medical teaches you beginning-level concepts such as:
- The overall relationship of BHRT and the integration with your overall health
- Tools and resources involving bioidentical hormonal replacement therapy and its uses helping ailments
After an in-depth literature review of the importance of optimizing hormones for men and women, guidelines for diagnosing, prescribing, monitoring, and adjusting dosages based on both patient symptomatology and lab tests when applicable are delineated. Some of the hormones discussed and their associated benefits include the following:
- Testosterone for men and women
- Estradiol
- Progesterone
- Thyroid
- Melatonin
- DHEA
- Pregnenolone
BHRT Part I is designed to provide the nuts and bolts of hormone replacement therapy. In addition to learning the fundamentals of BHRT, you’ll learn about troubleshooting HRT challenges through literature presentations, case studies, and open discussions.
Once you complete Part I: Discover the Power of BHRT, we encourage you to start seeing patients and recommend for those patients that would benefit. We cover each hormone in detail that includes research, protocols, monitoring, adjusting and case studies. We also provide online Hormone Summary Recommendations and access to the online Forum for case questions as you get started.
Access: This workshop is offered in-person and/or virtually. You can choose if you would like to be shipped printed educational materials. We will also post a recording for each day that same evening. The recording will be available until Thursday of the week after the event to re-watch or catch up on anything you may have missed, but it will not be available after this time.
Accreditation: 20 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits | 20 Nursing Contact Hours (20 pharmacologic hours) | 20 Hours Pharmacy Credit (knowledge based)
Course Objectives
- Evaluate and become proficient in the medical literature that supports biologically identical hormone replacement in contrast to synthetic hormones (chemically altered) and realize that “all hormones are not the same” as demonstrated per the literature.
- Identify the uses of melatonin, DHEA, and pregnenolone, including correct dosing, monitoring, adjusting, and troubleshooting.
- Discuss the prescribing of testosterone for men and women, including methods for administration, complications, precautions, and potential side effects of testosterone.
- Evaluate new evidence that contradicts the experts conclusions from the HERS and WHI trials on estrogen treatment in women.
- Compare and contrast the health benefits of estrogen and progesterone to the health detriments and harm of synthetic hormones, estrogen and progestin.
- Describe the types, doses, and methods used to administer estrogen and progesterone, in addition to how different formulations affect absorption, efficacy, side effects, and complications.
- Discuss recent literature, questions, and answers that demonstrate the beneficial effects of hormones, such as improved function, healing, and better quality of life.
- Describe current concepts of thyroid replacement, and compare and contrast different options available for thyroid medications as supported by the medical literature in which lab tests are recommended.
- Implement best clinical practices in diagnosing, prescribing, monitoring, and adjusting of BHRT for improved function and patient symptomatology.
- Identify that some compounded hormones are poor in quality, poorly absorbed, not micronized, and usually prescribed in very inadequate amounts to conform to scientific standards of maintaining therapeutic levels.
- Analyze and review treatment protocols in case management for both simple and complex cases as it pertains to BHRT and be able to recommend the most appropriate mechanism of delivery.
