Pre Conference Workshop

Menopause/Andropause:
Improving the Health and Happiness
of Your Patients with Bioidentical Hormones


Jonathan V. Wright MD and Daved Rosensweet MD

Sunday, December 17

Course Description

Treating women in menopause and men in andropause is rewarding work. Many of these patients are basically healthy yet often have debilitating symptoms and are vulnerable to the long-term consequences to cognitive function, bones, muscles and bladder associated with low levels of hormones. Proper treatment can lead to dramatic and satisfying results while honoring the crucial importance of making this process as safe as possible.

Come learn from these physicians who began the use of comprehensive bio-identical hormone treatment for women and men in the 1980s and 90s. They are practicing holistic physicians and appreciate the importance of presenting practical, implementable information. This one-day seminar derives from their combined 55 years of specialization in menopause and andropause.

While medical literature is cited throughout, the seminar is focused on providing the maximum possible amount of “take-it-home-and-use it” information and tools. You will receive automated online patient evaluation questionnaires, information and specifics on hormone testing methods, hormone formulas and preparations, prescription and dosing protocols, ongoing monitoring procedures, as well as the medical background information and evidence, basic to understanding these subjects. Drs Wright and Rosensweet provide formulas, milligrams, names and phone numbers. Spend a day learning the many facets of this in-high-demand and much-appreciated treatment.

Jonathan Wright

Jonathan Wright,
MD

Jonathan V. Wright, MD, ND, is a Harvard University and University of Michigan Medical School graduate. Dr. Wright was also awarded an honorary N.D. by Bastyr University. He is a pioneer in research and application of natural treatments for health problems not requiring surgery, and in the theory and use of natural means to promote healthy aging. He has authored or co-authored 14 books, with 2 texts achieving best-selling status. Since 1983, he has educated thousands of physicians in his approach.

Called the “Father of Bio-Identical Hormones”, Dr. Wright was the first in these United States (in the early ‘80s) to prescribe comprehensive hormone replacement therapies using hormones identical to those found naturally in young humans (rather than hormones from pregnant horses and/or synthesized in factories). This therapy (Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy or “BHRT”) is now used nationwide by millions.

Other accomplishments include originating successful natural treatment for elimination of childhood asthma, developing natural treatment for the “dry” form of macular degeneration, pioneering the use of aldosterone to reverse age-related hearing loss, discovering the effects of iodine on estrogen metabolism and cobalt on steroid detoxification, treatment which improves bone density in the large majority of those with osteoporosis, as well as developing testing for steroid metabolites to ensure safety and efficacy of treatment.

Dr. Wright founded Tahoma Clinic in Washington State in 1973 where he continues to practice medicine and serve as Medical Director.

Target Audience

The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of Naturopathic doctors, Internal Medicine, General Medicine, Family Practice, Specialists, Nutritionists, Pharmacists, Nurse Practitioners, and Physician Assistants involved in the treatment of patients with menopause or andropause.

Statement of Need/Program Overview

Many women in menopause and men in andropause are basically healthy patients yet often have low levels of hormones which manifest with debilitating symptoms such as decline in cognitive function, bones, muscles, and bladder.

The 2010 U.S. census estimates a population of 50 million menopausal women by 2020, an average age of menopause at 51, and a life expectancy for American women of 85. Consequently, an enormous group of women will live one-third of their lives after menopause. A small Johns Hopkins-led study discovered that fewer than 1 in 5 obstetrics and gynecology residents receive formal training in menopause medicine and that 7 in 10 would like more.

Levels of knowledge and attitude around andropause are low among general physicians. The medical community doesn’t spend much time or energy training doctors to talk about or treat male infertility. There are a lot of options for women, but male fertility treatments are much more limited because historically medical education has always focused on the reproductive system for female health.

According to the Journal of Clinical Practice, nearly 40 percent of men over the age of 45 are affected by low testosterone. Symptoms include erectile dysfunction, low libido, irritability, muscle loss, and fatigue. This decline is more than just uncomfortable, a number of studies produced circa 2015 confirmed that men who fail to treat low levels of testosterone are at greater risk for disease like obesity, type 2 diabetes, and stroke.

When menopause and andropause significantly impact daily life, both male and female patients are recommended to seek medical advice. It therefore behooves doctors to better understand hormone replacement therapy in this patient segment as safety and effectiveness is largely dependent on the care provided with the treatment plan.
