The focus of this course is:

How and why Adrenal Dyregulation develops and how we can support clients who present with this. It explores the physiology, endocrinology & psychoneuroimmunology associated with adrenal dysregulation in relation to individual differences including diet, behavioural patterns, circadian rhythms and adverse childhood events. There is a specific focus upon lifestyle factors and behaviour

There are a multitude of protocols and supplements directed at supporting adrenal dysregulation, which can mean that we often forget to focus on the foundations of health first and foremost. Additionally, many of our clients are not in a position financially to purchase exploratory tests, which can leave us confused and unsure about the safest and most effective approach to take.

This course will take you through safe, simple and effective steps that can be followed to help optimize your clients energy and restore balance. Whilst acknowledging and discussing testing and supplements the focus will be on fundamentals including diet, lifestyle and behavioural change.

This course will cover adrenal dysregulation in relation to pathophysiology, endocrinology and neurology. It will then explore circadian rhythms and the behavioural components that can contribute to adrenal dysregulation.
It will cover the ways which symptoms can be supported from a holistic perspective, adopting an individualised, whole person approach.

Examples of the questions it will answer include:

- What is adrenal dysregulation and how can it present?
- Which tests, if any, are valuable in detecting imbalances that may reflect adrenal dysfunction?
- What kind of behaviours and personality types are more likely to present with adrenal dysfunction and why?
- How can I support clients who present with symptoms of adrenal dysfunction in a personalized way that reflects their accessibility to resources such as tests?

Finally, it will provide practical problem solving scenarios to facilitate the application and development of skills in this area.

By the end of the course you will be able to:

• Create personalized, impactful programs that make a difference to your practice.
• Apply new research findings in your approach to supporting clients with adrenal dysregulation.
• Choose tests and supplements with greater confidence where appropriate and have the confidence to offer safe and
effective support where testing is not possible.
• Avoid potential pitfalls such as a one size fits all approach.
• Be more confident in supporting your clients through changing their behavior.
• Keep your client motivated.
