7 - The Endocrine System
F.D.M. Module #7
The Neuroendocrine System-Adrenal, Thyroid, and Sex Hormone Regulation

This will be your resource page for all the lessons in module #7. All the training videos, audio recordings, handouts, powerpoint slides, reference material, Insider's Guides and online resources for Module #7 are posted here.

This module is focused on the endocrine system. In this module we will explore the various facets of the endocrine system (the adrenal hormones, the thyroid hormones and the sex hormones) and how they interconnect with one another. We will look at the ways the endocrine system manifests its dysfunction and the best ways to assess and effectively treat our patient's endocrine system.
Upon completing this module you will have:

  • An understanding of the various components of the endocrine system (the hypothalamus, the pituitary, the thyroid, the parathyroid glands, the adrenals, and the sex hormones.)
  • The ability to assess each area of the endocrine system using Primary and Advanced Functional Diagnostic Medicine (FDM) techniques.
  • Treatment techniques to bring about harmony and balance in the endocrine system and resolve dysfunctions that have a primary endocrine location.
