Course Description
In this exclusive 3-day seminar, listen to experts analyze the medical evidence surrounding BHRT, while learning from instructors actively practicing this specialty. Sessions will allow you to gain the information needed to safely and effectively merge BHRT into your practice. While the traditional medical view of aging focuses on its inevitable complications and steady decline in quality of life, this therapy functions as a means of relieving-and even preventing-many of these symptoms.

“As a psychiatrist I treat people with a variety of psychiatric disorders, including addictions. BHRT Symposium has helped me get back to good basic medicine by considering the differential diagnosis to rule/out or rule/in physical, hormonal or nutritional imbalances. I then replenish what’s needed and the results have been absolutely nothing short of astounding. I love treating the underlying issues, rather than merely each symptom. My patients are the real winners in this. Anti-Aging is NOT just for staying young!!! It’s about returning to good, basic medical practice.” – Suzie Schuder, MD, Orange County, California
“I feel that I am a good internist. After 3 days at the BHRT Symposium I had to go back and completely change the way I practice medicine by incorporating BHRT.” – Steve Bajo, MD, Reno, Nevada
“Working in the field of advanced preventative and anti-aging medicine requires one to have an excellent resource of sound scientific education with clinically relevant teaching provided by recognized leaders in the field. This conference is one of the best organized educational forums that I have attended in my career. The education provided is focused on clinically relevant material to optimize the highest level of care that you can provide in this field of medicine.” – Jack Anstandig, MD, Board Certified Neurology, Board Certified Anti-Aging Medicine, BodyLogicMD, Las Vegas, NV
