Course description

The Introduction to Hormones and Nutrition Certificate Course provides a comprehensive overview of the interrelationship between the endocrine system and nutritional science. Participants will learn how hormones regulate key body functions—such as growth, reproduction, stress response, and metabolism—and how diet and lifestyle factors can positively or negatively influence hormonal activity.

Through interactive lectures, case discussions, and evidence-based content, learners will explore topics such as insulin and blood glucose regulation, thyroid and metabolic health, leptin and appetite control, cortisol and stress, and the nutritional management of common hormonal disorders.

This course is ideal for those seeking to understand the biochemical foundations of nutrition and its clinical applications in hormonal health, preparing them for advanced studies or professional roles in dietetics, wellness, and health education.
