A woman's life cycle transitions and corresponding health issues are a primary focus for the medical community. Scientific research also indicates women experience symptoms and diseases differently than men. To more effectively meet the unique health needs of this growing demographic (an estimated 1.1 billion women will be age 50 or older by the year 2025) scientists have incorporated the latest discoveries to develop advanced nutritional and lifestyle therapy protocols. Join Dr. Deanna Minich, respected clinician, lecturer, and author, for this enlightening seminar on how to apply this cutting-edge functional medicine approach for managing female hormonal complaints and age-related health issues. She will present recent scientific findings and clinical protocols for issues in the early part of midlife, including:
Dr. Minich will also discuss conditions associated with postmenopause, such as:
These advanced functional medicine approaches, using nutrition and lifestyle therapies, empower clinicians and their patients to make a substantial impact on quality of living. Make a difference for your patients and your practice. Don't miss this exciting opportunity to discover the next level of women's health care. |
