Continue your professional development with ION’s course: Menopause in clinical practice: hormones, metabolism, brain and cardiometabolic health.
Are your midlife clients experiencing unexplained weight gain, mood changes, brain fog, sleep disruption, or rising concerns about longer-term cardiovascular and cognitive health? This one day course examines a whole-body, functional approach to the menopause transition equipping you with the clinical knowledge, testing tools, and evidence-based strategies to assess and address its multi-system impact in practice.
Menopause is not simply a reproductive event it is a profound, whole-body endocrine and metabolic transition driven by the decline of oestradiol and progesterone. These hormones influence virtually every system: the cardiovascular, metabolic, neurological, and gastrointestinal systems are all profoundly affected as their levels fall.
For practitioners, this complexity presents a challenge. Many women present with overlapping, multi-system complaints that don’t fit neatly into a single diagnosis. Supporting them effectively requires both a strong mechanistic understanding of what is changing and why, and a practical toolkit of evidence-based dietary, lifestyle, and supplementation strategies.
This one-day CPD course takes a functional, systems-based approach to menopause, beginning with the hormonal transition and the far-reaching consequences of hormone decline across the body and brain. It then moves through four key clinical domains:
- Metabolic health: insulin resistance, weight, sarcopenia, and mitochondrial function
- Cardiometabolic health: lipid changes, ApoB, blood pressure, endothelial function, and cardiovascular risk
- Brain health: mood, cognition, anxiety, and oestrogen-neurotransmitter interactions
- Gut health: the oestrobolome, microbiome shifts, motility changes and systemic impacts
The course includes a case study integrating perimenopause presentation with Urinary hormone testing, and guidance of key supplementation support.
