Welcome to the 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 treat hormone imbalances and help people live longer and 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 like:
. Menopause symptoms (e.g., hot flashes, mood swings, low libido, insomnia, etc).
. Autoimmune thyroid disorders.
. Infertility linked to hormonal imbalances.
. PCOD and PMS management.
. Aging
