General Naturopathic Council

General Naturopathic Council The aim of the General Naturopathic Council is to regulate and support naturopathic practitioners in order to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the public.

As more and more people choose natural healthcare practitioners alongside conventional medical treatments, the public and medical professions are becoming more interested in the safe practice and efficacy of complementary therapies. In conjunction with Skills for Health, the GNC has recently developed National Occupational Standards for Naturopaths. The GNC is currently discussing voluntary self-r

egulation; this is an ongoing process and the site will be updated with the latest developments and achievements.

Join the BSEM for an exciting training day about hormones, focusing on fertility, preconception care and hormone replacement, set within the wider context of longevity and supporting healthier years across the lifespan.

As an attendee, you’ll gain practical, evidence-informed knowledge spanning ecological and functional approaches to hormones, natural fertility and preconception care, cardiovascular implications, and testosterone replacement therapy in men and women.

You will also have the opportunity to engage directly with remarkable speakers, many of whom have over 30 years of experience, and you will walk away from the day feeling empowered to support patients with confidence in all of these areas.

The day will include a mix of in-depth lectures, interviews, dynamic panel discussions, and case reviews with the BSEM panel, chaired by Dr Shideh Pouria.

Whether you’re looking to refine your clinical approach or stay up to date with evolving best practice, this training day offers valuable, actionable learning in a collaborative and supportive environment.

Lunch (gluten-free, dairy-free, low-carb, paleo, vegetarian and vegan options available) is included.

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.
