This graduate course examines women’s hormonal health through perimenopause, menopause, and the years beyond, integrating endocrinology with evidence-informed integrative modalities. Students study the endocrinology of the menopause transition and the physiologic changes it produces then apply that foundation to symptom management, menopausal hormone therapy, and healthy aging. This course prepares students to evaluate integrative modalities, nutrition, botanicals, lifestyle, and mind-body practices, within a whole-person, evidence-informed framework.
Explain the endocrinology of the perimenopausal and menopausal transition and the physiologic changes it produces in order to establish a foundation for evaluating midlife hormonal health.
Analyze the presentation and conventional management of common menopausal symptoms and conditions in order to inform whole-person care planning.
Determine the indications, risks, benefits, and individualization of menopausal hormone therapy in order to support evidence-informed, shared decision-making.
Appraise the evidence for integrative modalities used for peri-menopausal and menopausal symptoms in order to assess their safety, efficacy, and appropriate application.
Evaluate the safety, quality, and potential interactions of botanical and nutritional interventions in order to integrate them responsibly alongside conventional care.
Integrate endocrinology with evidence-informed integrative modalities, including prevention strategies, in order to design individualized, whole-person care across the menopausal lifespan.
