The Journey Starts Here. Understanding Sex Hormones
Harness the knowledge of DNA so you can accelerate optimal hormone health for your patients.
Functional Genomics of Sex Hormone's is the first of six modules to become a Certified Functional Genomics Practitioner (CFGP).
Functional Genomics will give your patients the answers to questions they haven't received anywhere else, like why they:
Struggle to gain and maintain lean muscle mass
Struggle with weight & fat loss
Are dealing with balding or thinning hair
Display symptoms of PCOS and cystic acne, as well as complain about endometriosis, fibroids and painful periods
Display symptoms of fibromyalgia and neuropathy
Complain about urinary trouble and BPH
Are not responding well to Hormone Replacement Therapy
Have unwanted complications from Hormone Replacement Therapy and the Birth Control Pill
Have issues with fertility and getting pregnant
Have low libido and sexual dysfunction
How to use this course
What are sex hormones and where do they come from?
How do the days, weeks, months, and seasons of the year influence hormone production?
Visualize the genes and pathways that form the foundation of sex hormone production
Testosterone is the first major crossroad of the hormone lifecycle. After your body converts progesterone into testosterone, functional gene variations determine what happens to that testosterone
Estrogen is the major female sex hormone, and much of female hormone health and wellness depends on what happens to estrogen after it is produced
Your body has an internal system for dealing with harmful estrogen metabolites. How effective that system is depends on functional gene variations in your DNA
Now that you understand the storyboard, it's time to watch the action unfold through real life case studies.
What common and not so common health concerns, conditions, disorders and diseases in women can be attributed to sex hormones?
Functional genomics profiles that increase your predisposition towards cystic acne and irregular ovulation are discussed
Gain a deeper understanding of the multifactorial nature of PCOS as well as its contributing genomic factors
How do genomic pathways contribute to a woman's predisposition towards endometriosis, fibroids, and even cancer?
