BIO CONCEPTS & LEAH HECHTMAN PRESENT…
PRINCIPLES OF WOMEN’S REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
What does it mean to have a female reproductive system in harmony and balance? How does a functional reproductive system behave and present?
Patients and practitioners are often so focussed on conception and preconception care that we often forget about the importance of a healthy reproductive system in and of itself.
Join respected naturopath, researcher and educator Leah Hechtman for this 4-part MasterSeries as she uncovers the underlying causes, pathologies and treatments for common yet misunderstood clinical presentations. She covers breast care, ovarian health, uterine health and vulval, vaginal and cervical health.
ACNEM TRAINING – WOMEN’S HEALTH
