Hormones & the Endocrine System

CFN-S Application to Hormones and the Endocrine System

This module provides an in-depth review of endocrine function, particularly focusing on female hormonal health, including ovarian hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol. Learners will explore how hormonal imbalances manifest, and how functional approaches can be used to support hormone regulation and address related conditions.

What this module will explore:

  • • In-depth review of endocrine function, with a special focus on the ovarian hormones and their role in health

    • The connection between hormones and other systems of the body, such as metabolism and immune function

    • Functional strategies for supporting hormone balance through diet, supplements, and lifestyle modifications

Why It Matters

Hormonal health is critical to overall well-being, particularly in women, where hormonal fluctuations can impact everything from mood to metabolism. By addressing the root causes of hormonal imbalances, functional medicine practitioners can help patients regain balance and improve quality of life.
