Join us for a clinical webinar on stress, perimenopause, and hormone imbalance designed for naturopathic and functional medicine practitioners. Dr. Leah Hechtman, PhD demonstrates how chronic stress and sleep deprivation can mimic perimenopause using detailed Endo Insight hormone testing, including cortisol curves, DHEA, sex hormones, and melatonin patterns. Learn how to distinguish adrenal dysfunction from true ovarian decline and apply practical strategies for adrenal fatigue, HPA axis dysregulation, and women’s hormone support in clinical practice.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand how chronic stress and sleep deprivation alter cortisol, DHEA, sex hormones, and melatonin patterns on functional hormone testing.
- Learn to differentiate stress-induced hormone disruption from true perimenopause using Endo Insight interpretation.
- Interpret cortisol metabolism, free vs. metabolized patterns, and adrenal depletion within a clinical context.
- Apply practical strategies for sleep restoration, nervous system repair, and targeted hormonal support in complex female patients.
