Endocrine Health in Perimenopause for Prescribers

In this course, Dr. Disha Narang guides prescribers through the complex endocrine changes of perimenopause and their impact on metabolism, weight, and overall health. You’ll gain the skills to assess, differentiate, and manage hormone-related metabolic concerns with evidence-based strategies tailored to each patient.

After this course, you will be able to:

  • Explain the perimenopause neuro-hormonal transition and its systemic effects on the brain, bones, pituitary, thyroid, reproductive glands, and adrenals to provide comprehensive patient care.

  • Evaluate the interconnected physiological mechanisms behind perimenopausal weight changes—hormonal shifts, insulin resistance, fat redistribution, and metabolic alterations—to develop targeted intervention strategies.

  • Differentiate between evidence-based medical weight management approaches and unsubstantiated social media trends to guide patients toward safe and effective treatment options during perimenopause.

  • Design comprehensive assessment strategies to identify endocrine disruptions, recognize when specialist referrals are needed, and communicate findings compassionately to patients.

Learning Format: Video-based instruction, clinical case discussions, and downloadable resources.

Part of our ongoing library of women’s health education for prescribers, this course is also a mandatory component of the Perimenopause Certificate®.
