BHRT Training Course
Revolutionize your clinical practice with the power of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). This course is tailored for medical doctors and allied health professionals eager to trait Hormonal Imbalances and help people live longer & fitter with confidence, precision, and evidence-based strategies.
Whether you’re managing PCOD, thyroid dysfunction, perimenopaus, menopause, fertility challenges or anti-aging, this course equips you with the skills to start practical prescribing from Day 1.
What is BHRT?
The ‘B’ in BHRT utilizes “Bio Identical” hormones that are structurally identical to those produced by the body. These non-patentable, natural hormones, often extracted from plant and animal sources, offer a safer and more effective alternative to synthetic hormones. What’s more, treatment is customised as per root-cause diagnosis of hormone dysfunction, providing transformative results in managing conditions.
