Reviews
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.
Read MoreEric B, MDBHRT online courseI 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.
Read MoreYours 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.
Read MoreOf 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.
Read MoreThe 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.
Read MoreYour wellness courses have helped establish my wellness-oriented practice. I am no longer taking any new Medicare or Medicaid and am averaging 3 new private insurance/cash patients a day!
Read MoreIncorporating 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.
Read MoreThanks 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.

- And more!
If you take our course, you can learn more about neurotransmitter testing and treatment in a shorter period compared to other programs available on the market.
However, since we offer FAST TRACK courses, you can be sure that our content is high-quality, comprehensive, and effective. Actually, you’ll get a CME certification after completing the training.
Additionally, we focus on testing and treatment options for neurotransmitter deficiencies to help you stand out from competitors in the field. In many locations, there’s an oversupply of BHRT and weight loss providers.
However, offering neurotransmitter testing will help you attract more patients and provide comprehensive services, showing that you truly understand the effects of stress on people’s delicate nervous and endocrine systems.
Neurotransmitters are, essentially, chemical messengers that carry important information from one part of the body to another (through the nerve cells) to function properly.
As a result, neurotransmitters have a major function in key body parts, including adrenal glands, which are controlled by the pituitary gland, parathyroid glands, and more.
This effect on important hormone-brewing glands means that neurotransmitter imbalances can result in serious health problems.
If a deficiency in neurotransmitters affects your thyroid and parathyroid glands, the throat secrete hormones that regulate metabolism and monitor calcium levels will be affected.
Likewise, if there are problems with the pituitary gland caused by deficiencies in neurotransmitters, the levels of the vital growth hormone will be altered.
The same is true if neurotransmitter imbalances affect the adrenal gland, which is responsible for producing steroid and “stress” hormones, such as adrenaline and norepinephrine.
In simple terms, the nervous system directs the endocrine system. If there are neurotransmitter imbalances, your hormones will be unbalanced, which can result in many health problems, including being overweight or obese, depression or anxiety, higher cholesterol levels, and more.
As such, learning how to test, detect, and treat neurotransmitter imbalances would add value to any healthcare provider’s practice, as it would demonstrate their extensive knowledge to address problems that can result in other medical complications.
Yes, you will! We know that there are three types of neurotransmitters, which transmit specific actions in their messages. These are:
- Excitatory neurotransmitters
- Inhibitory neurotransmitters
- Modulatory neurotransmitters
Excitatory neurotransmitters excite neurons, or nerve cells, causing them to send messages and transmit them to other cells. Glutamate, norepinephrine, and epinephrine fall into this category.
Inhibitory neurotransmitters block chemical messages, so they aren’t transmitted further to other cells. GABA, also known as gamma-aminobutyric acid, is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter, as well as serotonin and glycine.
Modulatory neurotransmitters have an influence on the effects caused by other chemical messages. Essentially, they can adjust how cells communicate with each other while affecting many neurons at the same time.
Yes, you will! As mentioned, with our comprehensive course, you’ll learn everything you need to know about neurotransmitters, their effect on the body, where they’re produced within nervous systems, potential imbalances and related issues, treatments, and more.
Therefore, although we focus on testing and diagnosis, you’ll get information on the neurons that produce acetylcholine as their primary neurotransmitter.
Yes, you will! After completing our comprehensive Neurotransmitter and GI “Gut Biome/Leaky Gut” Testing and Treatment Course, you’ll earn a certification accredited by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and the American Medical Association (AMA).
This course is acceptable by both entities for up to 8.0 prescribed credits.
