The “Hormones and Nutritional Modulation of Testes & Ovary” course provides a deep understanding of the endocrine control of male and female gonads and the nutritional factors that affect their function.
Participants will study the synthesis, regulation, and feedback mechanisms of key reproductive hormones—testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, LH, FSH, inhibin, and others. Emphasis is placed on how macro- and micronutrients, energy balance, oxidative stress, and metabolic disorders (like obesity, insulin resistance, or malnutrition) alter reproductive hormone balance and fertility outcomes.

The course integrates current research on how specific nutrients (e.g., zinc, vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, phytoestrogens, antioxidants) affect spermatogenesis, ovulation, and hormonal homeostasis. Case-based discussions, molecular pathway illustrations, and nutrition intervention planning will help learners apply theoretical knowledge to clinical and research contexts.

By the end, learners will be equipped to evaluate hormonal-nutritional interactions, design nutrition-based support plans for reproductive health, and interpret endocrine test results in the context of dietary modulation.
