ForwardPersonalized Hormone Restoration Therapy – Home Study
Please note that this home study is not available for purchase on its own; it is only available as a prerequisite to the live activity, Personalized Hormone Restoration Therapy: The Fundamentals.
If you are attending the live event, your home study can be accessed by navigating to the course page for your specific live event location & date.
The roles that hormones play in body physiology and pathology are intricate, complex, and multifaceted. These communicatory molecules are central players in the maintenance and regulation of multi-organ systems and functions, including digestion, metabolism, sexual reproduction, lactation, growth, development, sleep, and stress, among much more. Hormonal actions are specific as well as interactive and diverse. With their critical roles in whole-body homeostatic maintenance, even the most subtle deviation in hormonal levels has the potential to produce vast multi-system changes that can clinically emerge as a variety of symptoms. To further complex the matter of hormonal systems, there exists substantial variations in individual hormone levels required for maintaining individual set-points. What may be normal for one, may be abnormal for another.
The intent of this home study component is to review clinical, physiological, and pharmacological principles pertinent to hormone restoration therapy. This includes endocrine organs and hormone functions, female and male reproductive systems, adrenal and thyroid functions and dysfunctions, and fundamental principles and personalized approaches applied in hormone restoration therapy. To complement material found in this home study, participants will be referred to four supplementary readings that provide current empirical evidence on hormone system dysfunctions and opportunities for customized care. To ensure competency and satisfactory understanding of the material discussed in this activity, participants will complete a learning assessment that tests their knowledge on material discussed in this manual as well as the material discussed in the four supplementary readings. Completion of this home study activity will provide participants with the fundamental basis upon which the live component of this program is based. It is encouraged that the participant well review this material prior to attending the live component so that the live component can focus largely on clinical decision-making processes and personalized therapeutic opportunities in the form of case studies and interactive activities. This will maximize the learning experience and ultimate competency of the participant.
