Personalized Hormone Restoration Therapy Seminar: The Fundamentals
In this educational activity, participants will appreciate the individuality and interactivity of hormone systems; learn how to appropriately test hormones and investigate symptoms; examine evidence on the risks vs. benefits, efficacy, and safety of hormone therapy; and discuss treatment approaches & hormone dosing for various hormone-related conditions. Please be advised that the live stream on June 21-22, 2025, will follow Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). Day 1 & Day 2: 6:00 AM - 3:00 PM EDT
Course description
The roles that hormones play in body physiology and pathology are intricate, complex, and multifaceted. With their critical roles in whole-body homeostatic maintenance, even the most subtle deviation in hormone levels has the potential to produce vast multi-system changes that can clinically emerge as a variety of symptoms. Additionally, there exists substantial variations in individual hormone levels required for maintaining personal set points. What may be normal for one, may be abnormal for another.
In this educational activity, participants will gain an appreciation for the individuality of hormonal systems and the need for personalized medicine tailored to an individual’s unique clinical profile. This course emphasizes a comprehensive and evidence-based approach toward medicine that involves applying empirical, clinical, and case study findings that outline the importance of addressing the underlying cause of disease. Participants will appreciate the interactivity of hormone systems; learn how to appropriately test hormones and investigate symptoms; examine evidence on the risks vs. benefits, efficacy, and safety of hormone therapy; and discuss treatment approaches & hormone dosing for various hormone-related conditions, including:

Testimonials
“Taking the Hormone Management course has radically changed and enhanced my pharmacy practice. I am a prescribing pharmacist and I have created positive relationships with physicians who refer their patients to me for review and recommendations on oral and transdermal preparations. I provide the physician with a report of my recommendations and also create an individualized preparation for the patient. The patient will return to my pharmacy for follow-up and possible adjustments. My network of referring physicians is growing and based on success, so are recommendations.”
David Robertson | Pharmacist, Alberta
“I have attended numerous other hormone/BHRT conferences and LP3 Network’s is by far the best I've seen. I have never seen such a well-laid-out conference with defined learning goals and a start-to-finish approach with concrete examples and working plans. I highly recommended my Naturopathic Doctor colleagues and Pharmacists to attend.”
Kim Bretz, | Naturopathic Doctor, Ontario
“After attending the seminar, I am better able to advise prescribers on routes of delivery, methods of testing and follow-up care. I am also better able to explain therapeutic options to patients, for both medical prescription products and supplements. It was also a good opportunity to network with local practitioners and to work together in groups, which was very nice!”
Robyn Seipp | Pharmacist, British Columbia
“Well put-together seminar on hormones. The facilitators approach hormones from a truly holistic perspective, incorporating natural supplements, nutraceuticals, diet, and vitamins along with hormones to achieve the best results for the patient.”
Barbara Rush | Physician, California
“Most of my patients are women going through menopause and difficult times in their lives. This program helped me understand how the entire endocrine system is involved in the process of menopause, and not just the ovaries. I am able to explain the patient's symptoms better and prescribe more efficiently. The program enhanced my knowledge of hormone compounding and made me confident to prescribe compounded HRT.”
Erica Alex | Physician, British Columbia
