Optimising Oestrogen Metabolism in High-Risk Patients



Optimising Oestrogen Metabolism in High-Risk Patients

Oestrogen and progesterone are designed to ‘dance’ together in health-sustaining harmony, but we know that for many women this hormonal ‘dance’ can lose its rhythm due to sub-optimal hormone metabolism and result in hormone imbalance.

For female patients with an identified increased risk of hormone-dependant cancers, such as breast, endometrial or ovarian cancer, or other health conditions complicated by oestrogen imbalance such as endometriosis, sub-optimal hormone metabolism can pose a substantial health risk.

As clinicians, we need to be able to identify the hormonal imbalance and genetic abnormalities that may be contributing to symptomology and risk in these patients, and address these issues with holistic, specific, and strategic protocols to restore health and wellbeing in our female patients.

This 2-part online event will help you identify oestrogen excess, the specific genetic mutations related to oestrogen metabolism, and how to confidently support your high-risk patients.

During the sessions Dr. Shala Rasouli will cover:

  • How oestrogen and progesterone fall out of balance
  • The importance of optimal oestrogen synthesis and the role of methylation in oestrogen metabolism
  • The importance of recognising and treating oestrogen imbalance, including oestrogen excess
  • Relevant genetic abnormalities that increase risk, ie BRCA genetic mutations
  • How to assist and counsel patients (and their immediate family) when there is an identified increased cancer risk
  • How to optimise oestrogen metabolism using complementary medicines and diet and lifestyle therapies

* The content of Clinical Mastery is intended to provide high level information for healthcare professionals and may not include all relevant information in relation to medications/drug interactions/product ingredients. Specific and tailored advice is required for each patient.

Dr Shala Rasouli and Kate O’Flynn will translate the research highlights and patient management insights from Session 1 Optimising Oestrogen Metabolism in High-Risk Patients into actionable insights that you can effortlessly integrate into your clinical practice.

This live and online masterclass will draw on a real-life clinical case study with an identified increased risk of a hormone-dependent cancer and assist you to return to your clinic with greater confidence in supporting similar patient scenarios.  

15 minutes of the session will be dedicated to live Q+A.
