ForwardBio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy Symposium
At the very root of Anti-Aging medicine lies the firm belief that a clinician's role is to not merely help patients live longer, but to live more satisfying lives throughout the entirety of the aging process. As a cornerstone within the practice of Anti-Aging and integrative medicine, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy serves as a key tool in allowing patients to maintain full and healthy lives regardless of age.
Grounded in the most recent and well-supported research, the BHRT Symposium provides in-depth knowledge on the relationship between hormones and overall health, and identify effective ways in which clinicians can wield effective tools such as bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to treat a variety of conditions. Through a diverse and engaging array of sessions and Q&A discussions, participants will complete the symposium equipped to properly implement this emerging and in-demand treatment option to relieve, and even prevent, unwanted aging symptoms.
