  • The BHRT course is excellent, even if a bit overwhelming. There's SO much information to take in that I watched many slides two-three times, and took copious notes. But it's all good information, and Dr. Zengo explains everthing very clearly, citing the available evidence throughout. Best of all, Dr. Zengo stands by his promise to help you interpret data from patients you test as you get started. I highly recommend his online BHRT course to anyone interested in helping their patients feel "balanced" again.

  • I definitely have benefited greatly from your training. I was very skeptical about adding Weight Loss to my practice. Your courses made it very easy to get trained and your teaching was very efficient and effective. The courses and the office forms gave me all the materials and confidence I needed to get started immediately.

    Shortly thereafter, I began offering Rapid Weight Loss in my practice and it quickly became our most successful new service in our practice in just the first 12 months. All of this with very little investment in regards to training and supplies needed to get started. We earned back the costs of our training in just a matter of days.

    The instructors have been more than helpful on numerous occasions when I have had questions…always responding to emails very quickly with just the right information. You keep up to date with all of the latest research and journals and the information presented in your training programs reflect this. Of all the CME courses I have ever had, yours have been the most exciting and beneficial to my practice. Thanks for all of your help over the past 5 years.

  • Yours was the 4th different lecture on Bio-Identical Hormones that I have attended. It was by far the most comprehensive and passionate presentation on the subject.

  • Of all the CME courses I have taken in an effort to expand my medical practice, I can say without hesitation that PracticalCME's lectures have been the most well-presented, memorable, and enjoyable.

  • The Hormone Balancing Course has been practice changing. We now have about 25% of my practice involved with hormone, adrenal support, and GI health. This is gratifying for both me and my patients, because I can now offer options that I didn't have before for menopause, fatigue, and IBS symptoms. It has also been very helpful financially, because I make profits not only on visits, but also on labs and supplements. I did not even need to advertise, because these issues are so common and patients want good answers. In summary, the courses offered by PracticalCME have helped me become more profitable and bring vitality and fun back into my practice. I would highly recommend all of these courses to anyone.

  • Incorporating the weight loss principles I learned from the "Evidence-Based Weight Loss" Course into my practice has helped my family and my patients lose a record amount of weight and improve their wellness like never before. It was also very profitable for me, netting me over $48,000 in profits in the first year from product sales alone.

  • Thanks PracticalCME. When I first ordered the video weight loss course I was skeptical about the outcome and how this will benefit my practice. It was great. It was so convincing that I took the live course. I came back and started doing right away what I learned. The course had so much information that time to time I got confused.

    I got great follow up and support after the course. The teacher (Dr. Zengo) always answered my email questions in a few hours. This was the beauty of the course (100 % follow up and support). I really felt ashamed at the very beginning of the many times I bothered him with questions. He always supportive and accurate. I do not remember any other CME like that. Dr. Zengo is an excellent advisor and teacher, he always answered my questions in less than 4-6 hours and his advice is priceless . The money that I invested in this training has been recovered in less than 1 month. I also cut my hours at the hospital, enjoying medicine and family again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy, or BHRT, measures the levels of key hormones in your body that become unbalanced due to stress or menopause and replace what is missing to restore symptoms. Only the actual natural hormones that are present in the human body normally are given. No synthetic drugs are used.
Bioidentical Hormone Therapy, or BHRT is used to treat menopause, andropause, menstrual cyclic abnormalities, hypothyroidism, sleep issues, and body clock disturbances.
When properly tested, replacing the exact hormone that is missing is always better and has fewer side effects compared to using drugs or not assessing levels prior to treatment. Bio-Identical hormones have a known metabolism in the body where synthetics are unpredictable in their metabolism and side effects. We also cannot reliably check levels of synthetic hormones in the body.
The only risks to hormone therapy is if the hormone is overdosed due to inferior or incomplete testing. For instance, using serum blood testing instead of saliva or pellets instead of daily creams can lead to overdosing and side effects, even from BHRT.
Salivary hormone testing allows for checking levels of hormones that have left the blood and entered a body tissue (the salivary gland). This assesses the hormone levels where they function instead of hormones that remain trapped in the bloodstream.
Salivary hormone testing of cortisol, estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone has been validated in over 1,000 papers in the medical literature since 1959.
Salivary hormone testing is most accurate to assess tissue levels of Estrogens, Progesterone, Testosterone, Cortisol, DHEA, and Melatonin
Since 2008, PracticalCME remains the only BHRT training that integrates Female, Male, Thyroid, and Adrenal testing in the same evidence-based course. The course is presented by a board-certified MD with 15 years’ experience in BHRT.

Our bioidentical hormone replacement training for nurse practitioners is also perfect for other medical professionals, such as doctors (MDs and DOs) and physician’s assistants.

Registered nurses can also take our bioidentical hormone training course as long as they are in an appropriate supervisory practice situation. Also, this certification program is open to pharmacists who need help collaborating with doctors.
