Course description
Hormone imbalances can occur throughout our lives, changing the way our organs function, and therefore our overall health. Bev Maya, a practicing Medical Herbalist from Vancouver BC, guides students into understanding the common signs and symptoms associated with hormone imbalances. Through this course, she’ll describe the role of each hormone-producing organ and describe how they affect each other. Bev also highlights the key concepts of Somatic Syndrome, and how it’s recognized. Students will be lead through real case studies to further understand the contributors in its development—from the primary organs of elimination to the entire hormonal signaling axis. This course is also chock-full of preventative holistic health tips!

- Clusters of symptoms that are often treated in isolation, and their common pathological origins
