Menopause

Menopause

Menopause is a natural part of aging for women, marked by varying experiences and symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, low mood, anxiety, weight gain, reduced sex drive, and cognitive challenges. These symptoms are caused by hormonal fluctuations and can significantly affect quality of life. The lecture will explore menopause from both Western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspectives, detailing clinical symptoms and signs, current management approaches like Menopausal Hormonal Therapy (MHT) and TCM, and strategies for improving quality of life, including lifestyle adjustments. Group discussions will allow participants to share practical experiences in managing menopause.

Making sense of Laboratory findings

Making sense of Laboratory findings

In conventional healthcare, laboratory testing plays a significant role in diagnosis and patient follow-up. Patients of complementary practitioners often present test results from laboratory analyses carried out for them. This interactive continuing education day will review a series of common parameters: the origin of various substances measured in blood and urine, what their values may indicate, and the significance of frequently encountered abnormalities. The implications for complementary healthcare practice will also be discussed.
