Hormonal health is not just about periods and menopause. It's the invisible thread running through every system in the body. Understand the connections, address the root cause and transform your clients' outcomes.
Hormonal imbalance is rarely an isolated issue. It's a ripple effect, touching gut, brain, metabolism, bones, heart and joints. Learn to see the whole picture. Because the client in front of you is never just one symptom.
Supporting Materials & Private Facebook Group Included
Your clients' hormones are talking to every system in their body, yet most practitioners are only trained to listen to one conversation at a time. Chronic stress, blood sugar dysregulation, environmental toxin exposure, and the natural hormonal shifts of the menstrual cycle, perimenopause and menopause are driving a growing wave of complex, overlapping presentations in clinic: unexplained gut symptoms and recurrent infections rooted in immune and inflammatory dysfunction; anxiety, low mood and brain fog driven by neurochemical and HPA-axis disruption; stubborn weight gain and metabolic resistance that does not improve with dietary intervention alone; and the silent, accelerating risks to bone density, cardiovascular health and joint integrity as hormone levels decline with age.
Connecting the Dots: Hormones and Whole Body Health is a practical, science-based programme designed to help you trace these threads back to their hormonal root. Across four expert-led webinars, we will simplify the biology of the endocrine system and its far reaching influence on inflammation, gut and immune health, mood and cognitive function, metabolism and weight regulation, and long term structural and cardiovascular health. You'll leave with practical, clinically-relevant tools including nutrition, supplements and lifestyle strategies to help you assess, address and explain these hormonal connections with confidence. This programme is designed for practitioners who want to move beyond single symptom thinking and start treating the whole, connected picture in front of them.
The programme includes 1 professional grade supplement, 5 online webinars

Webinar 1
Monday 9th November, 12:00pm
The Hormonal Link To Inflammation, Gut & Immune Health
How many of your clients with IBS, bloating, or recurring infections have an underlying hormonal driver that's never been addressed? This first session unpacks the bidirectional relationship between hormones, gut integrity and immune function, including how hormones can influence the microbiome and systemic inflammation. You will learn practical assessment cues and intervention strategies to bring straight into clinic, so you can stop treating gut symptoms in isolation and start addressing the hormonal picture underneath.
Webinar 2
Monday 16th November, 12:00pm
The Hormonal Link To Mood, Anxiety & Brain Health
Mood and anxiety complaints are among the most common, and most frustrating, presentations in clinic, especially when standard nutrition advice isn't moving the needle. This session explores how hormonal fluctuations across the menstrual cycle, perimenopause and chronic stress states directly impact neurotransmitter production, HPA-axis regulation and cognitive function. You will come away with a clearer clinical lens for recognising when a client's mood symptoms are hormonally driven, plus practical, evidence-informed strategies to support brain health through the hormonal lens.
Webinar 3
Wednesday 18th November, 6:00pm
Unlock the Secrets of Hormone Balance: Join Lylen Ferris ND for an Exclusive Webinar on the HUMAP Test!
Are you ready to revolutionize your approach to hormone health? Dive deep into the groundbreaking Hormone & Urinary Metabolites Assessment Profile (HUMAP™) test with renowned naturopathic doctor, Lylen Ferris ND. In this dynamic webinar, Lylen will unveil how this innovative, non-invasive urine-based tool provides unparalleled insights into your patients' hormonal world - empowering you to optimise wellness like never before!
Discover the power of HUMAP as it meticulously evaluates key analytes like cortisol and cortisone for adrenal function and stress resilience, alongside DHEA to gauge vitality and hormone precursor balance. Lylen will guide you through progesterone metabolites for reproductive harmony, androgen pathways including testosterone and 5α-reductase activity for energy and mood regulation, and oestrogen metabolites (like 2-OH-E1, 4-OH-E1, and 16-OH-E1) to uncover detoxification efficiency and oestrogen dominance risks. Plus, explore cortisol/cortisone ratios and catechol oestrogens to pinpoint enzyme efficiencies and liver processes that drive overall metabolic health.
Lylen will also provide a summary of the advantages of the HUMAP compared to other hormonal tests.
Whether you're tackling fatigue, mood swings, or hormonal imbalances, this webinar equips you with practical strategies to interpret results, support detoxification, and personalise interventions. Don't miss this opportunity to elevate your clinical toolkit!
Webinar 4
Monday 23rd November, 12:00pm
The Hormonal Link To Metabolism & Weight Management
"I'm doing everything right and still can't lose weight" is one of the most common, and most complex, statements you'll hear in clinic. This session dives into the real hormonal drivers of metabolic resistance: insulin, cortisol, thyroid and sex hormone interplay, and why weight management advice that ignores this picture so often falls flat. You will gain a deeper understanding of how to assess and address these hormonal metabolic blocks, giving you new tools to support clients who've felt stuck despite their best efforts.
Webinar 5
Monday 30th November, 12:00pm
The Hormonal Link To Bone, Heart & Joint Health
As clients move through perimenopause and beyond, bone density, cardiovascular risk and joint health become increasingly urgent, yet these are often the areas practitioners can feel least equipped to address from a hormonal perspective. This final session connects the dots between declining hormone levels and long term structural and cardiovascular health, giving you a proactive framework for supporting clients through this transition rather than just reacting to symptoms as they arise. You will finish the programme equipped to support your clients' whole body health, long into the future
You will also receive:
Guides, recipes and information sheets to support you before, during and after the programme:
✔ Exclusive meal plans
✔ Access to a Private Facebook Group to ask Antony, Karen and fellow attendees questions
