HFM - Hormone Functional Medicine Advanced Practice Modules (APM) 2025

Hormones play a vital role in the body by signaling specific biological processes in cells, tissues, and organ systems responsible for glycemic control and metabolism, reproductive function, energy production, sleep, and more. Before considering hormone replacement therapy, what if there were another way to naturally modulate hormones in alignment with a patient's biochemical makeup, genetic history, and lifestyle? Functional medicine prioritizes a root-cause approach to identifying and addressing the underlying processes contributing to hormonal dysfunction. By looking upstream to the wide variety of ways that the hypothalamic, pituitary, adrenal, thyroid, and gonadal (HPATG) axis modulates health, you will learn how to identify and address issues with the production, transport, or processing of these hormones.

The Hormone APM equips you with comprehensive diagnostic and evaluation strategies to determine the unique causes of hormone imbalance in each patient. From there, you'll gain new tools to deliver personalized care by applying dietary modifications, nutraceutical supplementation, and other lifestyle modifications as primary and adjunctive care strategies.

New Online Cohort Format - Learn at Your Own Pace!

The Hormone APM is now offered as a six-week online cohort course! Learners can access course materials and review lectures when it is most convenient for them. The new format expands access to functional medicine education, allowing clinicians to balance the demands of their practice and their training.
