There is continuous confusion and contradiction in both lay and professional opinion about the use of HRT in menopause. Thankfully, IFM has created a data driven approach to this common clinical dilemma. Participants will hear Joel Evans, MD, the lead of the Institute for Functional Medicine Advanced Practice Module on Hormone Health, explain in detail the FM decision tree on HRT. He will discuss who should, and shouldn’t, get hormones, when to start and when to stop treatment, and what type and delivery system is best. Participants will leave with answers to all their HRT questions.
This integrative session is for the courageous and the curious, wanting to explore the mind body connections through movement, participants will experience an evidenced based blend of modern dance choreography, American Sign Language, and Qigong.
