Course description

The PGT in Hormones and Nutrition is a comprehensive training program focusing on the vital relationship between the endocrine system and nutritional health. Hormones play a critical role in regulating metabolism, growth, reproduction, and overall well-being, and nutrition is a key modifiable factor influencing hormonal balance. This program provides in-depth knowledge of hormone physiology, nutrition-hormone interactions, and evidence-based nutritional interventions for conditions such as diabetes, obesity, thyroid disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), menopause, infertility, and metabolic syndrome.

Participants will gain practical skills in dietary planning, case-based clinical nutrition management, and integration of nutraceuticals and supplements for hormonal health. The training emphasizes a patient-centered approach, bridging the gap between endocrinology and nutrition to empower professionals in both clinical and wellness settings.

Upon completion, graduates will be able to apply advanced knowledge in hospitals, clinics, nutrition consultancy, research, and wellness industries, making them highly competitive in the growing field of integrative healthcare.
