BHRT Part 2: Expand Treatment Options
Bioidentical Hormone Training Part II follows with advanced concepts and up-to-date research above and beyond BHRT Part I. This three-day hrt medical seminar will keep you current on the appropriate skills needed to manage everyday HRT-related problems. It will serve as a short refresher of HRT but will primarily serve to teach new and alternative therapies not explained previously, as well as introduce management of new conditions such as PCOS, Osteoporosis, Cancer and hormones and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Prerequisites
CME BHRT Training
Bioidentical Hormone Training Part II follows with advanced concepts and up-to-date research above and beyond BHRT Part I. This three-day hrt medical seminar will keep you current on the appropriate skills needed to manage everyday HRT-related problems. It will serve as a short refresher of HRT but will primarily serve to teach new and alternative therapies not explained previously, as well as introduce management of new conditions such as PCOS, Osteoporosis, Cancer and hormones and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Some of the other exciting topics to be discussed include the following:
- Alternatives to raising testosterone, including methods that maintain or even may increase fertility in men, such as clomid and HCG.
- The importance of early identification of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), including recognizing its associated signs and symptoms, atypical presentation, and treatment options to potentially improve fertility and reduce risk of long term health consequences, such as obesity, uterine cancer, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and type two diabetes. Also, learning why the word “PCOS” is a poor name and a misnomer for the condition, as it is primarily an endocrine condition.
- Review what the literature shows about how hormones affect cancer progression and knowing when and which hormones may be appropriate and why
Bioidentical Hormone Training Part II goes into greater depth than the nuts and bolts covered in BHRT Part I, showcasing literature reviews that highlights the many benefits of HRT, particularly as they pertain to cardiovascular and cancer protection. We also review the scientific literature supporting a more preventive approach to chronic disease vs a sick care model that never treats root causes.

- Describe the strategies for using the new cardiovascular risk markers, inflammation markers, new lipid parameters and how to make sense of all the new lipid fractionation components.
- Identify rational approaches to vitamins and supplements with a review of the medical literature supporting their use in wellness as well as citing any harmful effects and interactions.
- Determine current screening methods and management strategies of the most common pre-menopausal hormone disorder, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in addition to, implementing diagnostic and treatment strategies for PCOS.
