Hi!
I am so excited to share this Facebook Live and THESE POWERFUL PEARLS of functional medicine with you. At SAFM we teach our students to be both confident and highly skilled at “puzzle piecing” and finding the interconnectedness between pieces of each patient’s unique case.
In this presentation, I’ll share a few staples but also some unexpected connections which might surprise you!
- The biggest error that even savvy practitioners make in supporting “adrenal fatigue“.
- Why the type of hormone testing you use matters. A lot! You’ll be surprised why.
- The missing link in helping your patients fully overcome PCOS dynamics.
- A hugely false assumption about menopause and estrogen levels. This is a BIG one.
- The hormonal triple-threat and how it causes Infertility.
- Why women’s fears of estrogen are often misplaced – and what to do to support them.
- The highest-impact supplements I recommend for common hormone imbalances.
Thank you very much for joining in the fun and learning!
With warmth, love, and gratitude to you for sharing your gifts with so many –
P.S. If you are passionate about transforming healthcare through the power of functional medicine, we encourage you to learn more about SAFM’s practitioner training programs. Enrollment for our next cohort is now open!

My favourite piece was the clarification of why we have estrogen dominance and then the way we can support the excretion of estrogen. Brilliant! Thanks Tracy always amazing and enlightening.

Hormone clearance! I want to learn more about this. I’ve heard a lot about estrogen dominance and even experienced it in my life. I’ve always thought this was due to over-production of estrogen and am intrigued to learn that it could be due to poor estrogen/metabolite clearance, or due to foods and products that go into our bodies. Great info!

Melissa Homner says:
The clinical pearl I heard that struck home for me was the fact that to supplement with adrenal desiccated is not necessarily the optimal treatment for high adrenal function. This is a standard go to for the Chiropractor/kinesiologist I work for. It did not have good results for me or for my son. I am going to be re-listening to this lecture many times. I am beginning with a client this Saturday that this is timely information for me to be able to effectively help her. I also have a new client to begin the end of the month who is extremely overweight and exhibits many of the surplus progesterone symptoms. This lecture is pure gold! Thank you so much for sharing. I am working toward and praying for being able to attend the next semester. Winning a free seat in this coming semester would be beyond amazing. I had the chance to attend another very well known functional medicine school but turned it down to attend SAFM. This is the place for me. My clients are currently a variety of autoimmune conditions and I am having good success with them, but know so little. With Gratitude, Melissa

I feel like hormones are my biggest issue. It doesn’t sound like you are a big fan of bio-identical hormones. I enjoyed hearing about estrogen dominance and the connection to progesterone. I’m so looking forward to diving deeper into hormones. Can’t wait to get started in the Fall!

Excess androgens, high fasting insulin, preventing woman synthesising progesterone = no fertility and the link with PCOS.

It was like a warm bath! So many pearls to offer support to all of us who are independent practitioners. I found the connection between obesity and cortisol testing modalities informative. Makes so much sense. I also felt a renewed interest in exploring DUTCH testing. Thank you!

Excellent course- Loved hearing about adrenal fatigue. I see this in my patients (and family members) so often.
We need to help these people get better…so they can heal themselves from other illnesses. -

Evelyn Andersen says:
Hormone imbalance because of INSULIN!!! Which can lead to excess of androgen’s, too low progesterone, and high insulin which can impair proper synthesis of progesterone which is a huge piece of why women may have trouble conceiving. This by far was the most inspiring piece that I took from this webinar. I am a Family Practice Nurse Practitioner in Primary Care and this is something that comes up in my practice frequently. This information is so pertinent and useful in my every day practice!

Great CE program! I was blown away by so many topics, especially related to PCOS, cortisol and obesity and the relationship of liver detox to hypothyroidism (as it relates to the conversion of T4 to T3).

I am absolutely fascinated. Your presentations are always so spot on and easy to follow. I’ve struggled with hormone imbalance myself. I worked for a functional medicine physician and this is my world, my passion. I can’t wait to take on your programs. Your generosity in sharing your knowledge with everyone is so greatly appreciated!

Thank you so Much Tracy!!! This was so so so good and you did such a great job to “simplify” one of our body’s most complex systems… It was so clear and easy to understand and digest. I am a midwife and work doing integrative gynaecology here in Mexico. I have been an avid self-study student of FM since the last two years and the clarity of the interconnectedness of all of our human systems and how to support them has been an incredible tool to get women on board to take the responsibility of their health into their own hands… The results continue to blow my mind… And they are always so so grateful that someone has given them the time and attention they needed to get to the bottom of these debilitating symptoms. I am so exited to learn so much more!!! Paying with my whole heart that the miracle of getting this scholarship/price for module 101 can come true! I have been wanting this for a long long time. Its a new science here in Mexico. There are no practitioners anywhere… to the point where men have been coming to my gynaecology practice… Hahahah! A little intimidating since I have only worked with women the last 10 years but exiting none the less! Thank you for the precios and valuable work you are doing with this school… spreading so many seeds of wisdom.

Stars aligned. Having you speak today on hormones was an incredible wrap up for the SAFM Hormones course I just wrapped up. Loved the course. And I truly enjoy your social lives. Hormones and Microbes ruling the world, who would have thought. Balance, yes. Thank you. Looking forward to starting the semester course in September!
