In this webinar, nutrition scientist and author, Dr. Deanna Minich, will unlock the power of the endocrine system: how it interconnects with other body systems and its importance for optimal human health. The messengers of the endocrine circuit are hormones of all types, including those involved in stress, reproduction, appetite, and metabolism. Within this presentation, nutrition professionals will learn how to assess hormone imbalance, describe the role of endocrine disruptors, and nutrition/lifestyle approaches to optimize hormones for greater harmony throughout the lifespan.
