You’ll work through the clinical gray areas:

When, why, and how to approach hormone testing
Best practices for initiating, monitoring, and discontinuing hormone therapy

Addressing myths and patient concerns about “hormone levels”

Practical strategies for non-hormonal management

Evidence-based answers for high-risk patients, sexual dysfunction, and persistent symptoms
