Many clients will tell you that their acne is hormonal.

But is it really hormonal acne? And if so, what kind of hormonal acne!? There's only one way to find out. The old adage: 'test, don't guess' has never been more relevant... 

The problem is; analysing and interpreting hormone test results can be overwhelming, confusing and a complete waste of time and money if you don't know what you are looking for. 

Is it androgenic acne? Could it be oestrogen driven acne? Where do hormones such as insulin and cortisol come into play? Is the client secreting too much, too little or just not clearing these hormones effectively?

 A complete understanding of hormonal interplay through testing can save both you and your client a lot of time, money and energy.

THIS TRAINING WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE ASSESSMENT & TREATMENT OF HORMONAL ACNE.

YOU'LL LEARN:

• How to appropriately request bulk-billed blood hormone testing (this increases the chance of the GP testing everything we want to see)

• How to accurately interpret all blood test results (not just hormones) in the context of acne (hint: it's not just about the testosterone!)

• The common patterns that sex hormones form in acne; from PCOS type acne to PMS acne and everything in between (I'll give you my optimal ranges)

• The role that each hormone has to play in your client's presentation

• Herbal and nutritional medicine treatment protocols that can help to recalibrate hormone production, communication and utilisation
