Content
Women go through normally occurring obesogenic stages at various times of their lives. The main stages are: intrauterine life, adolescence, pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause. These stages are also influenced by mental health, and influence mental health in turn. Stages are characterized mainly by hormonal changes, but are also influenced by lifestyle and stressful conditions. While these stages cannot be eliminated, they can be managed and supported. This course will review the evidence and clinical support guidelines to care for patients in each of these stages.

FEMM Teacher Training Courses are only offered in English at this time.
While the language barrier could be a concern, we have participation from many for whom English is a second language.
All quizzes, course work, practice teaching reports, and chart assessments have to be completed in English. At this time we are only able to provide Spanish language materials for teachers to use with their clients but the course certification itself is entirely in English.
As a FEMM Teacher you will be trained to identify hormonal imbalances in the cycle, such as noting estrogen imbalances or low progesterone, however, since layperson’s are not equipped to make medical diagnosis’ we do not train our FEMM Teachers to identify or diagnose specific reproductive disorders such as PCOS or endometriosis. Specific reproductive disorders and cycle patterns is something that is covered in the Medical Management Training course. FEMM teachers are equipped to work with clients to identify abnormalities in their cycle, and refer to trained FEMM medical providers.
