Endocrine Disruption vs Humanity:

Global pollution is assaulting our hormones, from pesticides and plastics to pharmaceuticals, affecting everyone from the womb to the tomb. This endocrine disruption is linked to increasing rates of infertility, early-onset cancers, and cognitive decline, impacting both genders and even influencing gender identity. 

In this presentation, we'll explore the reality of endocrine disruption and its widespread impact beyond typical hormonal issues like PMS. We'll discuss the emerging problem of hormone deficiencies in younger individuals affecting their brain, bone health, and mood. 

Participants will learn to identify signs of hormonal imbalance in patients through symptoms not traditionally associated with hormonal issues, such as digestive disorders, autoimmune diseases, and metabolic conditions. 

Hormonal therapy, often misunderstood and underutilized in the U.S., is crucial for maintaining health and is readily available in many countries. This session will equip you with knowledge to improve hormone health across various medical fields, focusing on innovative strategies like managing cancer stem cells and supporting key estrogen receptors to integrate these insights into your practice immediately.
