Advanced Women’s Health
This advanced, one-day classroom course will provide a unique opportunity to advance your clinical skills when treating your patients with BHRT. The course will cover advances in BHRT and a toolkit for advanced integration, genomic and functional insights into hormone metabolism,
Course outcomes (to be continued);
After the course you will have increased confidence in:
- Apply a structured BHRT prescribing model using clinical decision maps to guide personalised care.
- Interpret variability in hormone response and apply practical adjustments to your treatment plans, including appropriate use of genomics.
- Assess and safely prescribe BHRT in higher-risk patients using clear decision frameworks (prescribe, modify, avoid).
- Integrate thyroid, metabolic, and stress physiology to understand and manage complex hormonal presentations.
- Apply targeted strategies for mood, libido, weight resistance, and gut–hormone interactions.
- Understand guidelines for preventing and managing osteoporosis & risk factors for developing it.
- Integrate complex clinical data and confidently justify prescribing decisions using a multi-system approach
Agenda to include;
-
- The Future of Personalised BHRT. Dr Ghazala- Aziz-Scott
This session explores the current state of BHRT, where the evidence base is evolving, and the common pitfalls seen in practice, while providing a practical toolkit for advanced integration and truly personalised care.
-

HRT & Breast Cancer: Navigating Evidence, Risk and Informed Choice: A Functional Medicine Perspective. Dr Nikita Grover
This session provides an evidence-based clinical framework for prescribing practitioners managing menopausal symptoms in women with a personal or family history of breast cancer. The talk approaches the topic from a functional medicine and longevity perspective, acknowledging that breast cancer is a multifactorial disease and that hormone decisions must be contextualised within a broader understanding of metabolic, immune and genomic health. - Bone Health as a Biomarker of Longevity. Tanya Borowski
-
Bone health is one of the most underestimated clinical conversations we have — and one of the most revealing. Reduced too often to a calcium prescription and a DEXA scan every two years, it sits at the intersection of almost every system we work with: hormonal health, gut function, chronic inflammation, nutritional sufficiency, and load-bearing stimulus. When we learn to read bone properly, it stops being a standalone concern and becomes a biomarker of the whole woman in front of us.
-
- Where Did My Libido Go? How to Approach Low Libido in Mid-life Dr Monica Lascar
This session explores a structured approach to understanding the nature of female desire, examining how physical and psychological factors can contribute to low libido. It reviews the benefits and limitations of testosterone therapy, while also considering the role of stress, past trauma and relationships dynamics on sexual wellbeing.
- Complex Endocrine Cases- PMOS, Adrenal & Thyroid Dysfunction. Dr Ghazala Aziz-Scott
- Panel Q&A and Case Group Study
- Where Did My Libido Go? How to Approach Low Libido in Mid-life Dr Monica Lascar

Dr Ghazala Aziz- Scott
A GP with qualifications from Cambridge University and Oxford University, Dr Ghazala was an experienced senior GP in a large West London NHS partnership for over two decades. Now, she is dedicating her career to functional medicine and bioidentical hormone balancing, providing expertise in integrative women’s health. Dr Ghazala has always been drawn to a holistic approach to treating patients, respecting the physical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions that impact health and wellness.
Ghazala uses the functional approach to treat a range of hormonal conditions and provides a personalised treatment plan. Her areas of expertise include perimoenopause, menopause, endometriois and PMS/ PMDD
Tanya Borowski
Tanya Borowski has spent two decades studying nutrition, human biology, functional medicine, and women’s health education. As a registered nutritionist and Institute for Functional Medicine certified practitioner, she empowers women across all life stages—from menarche to menopause—to achieve optimal health and reduce their risk of chronic disease.
Tanya ran her own integrative clinic and wellbeing store in Lewes, East Sussex for a decade, before turning her focus to practitioner education. She curates and hosts functional health masterclass retreats and delivers online programmes centred on women’s health. In 2022, she founded Women’s Health Mastery — a BANT CPD-accredited mentorship programme that has since trained over 200 practitioners in the clinical application of women’s hormone health. Designed for practitioners who want to move beyond the basics, it equips graduates with the depth, confidence, and personalised frameworks to transform their clinical practice across the female lifespan.
In 2025, she was honoured with the Distinguished Faculty Award for her contribution and delivery of The Hormone module for Datis Kharrazian’s AFNLM programme.
Tanya hosts the successful podcast The Best of Health, now in its sixth season, and currently serves as Head of Education for Amrita Nutrition, a position she took up in November 2023.
Dr Ash Kapoor
With over 30 years of experience, Dr Ash focuses on restoring health at its roots—balancing hormones, healing the gut, and optimising longevity through an integrative approach.
Ash brings a refreshing blend of wisdom, warmth, and innovation to every consultation. With decades of NHS and private practice behind him, he founded Levitas to help people break free from symptom-chasing and discover lasting vitality.
His work is rooted in one belief: when we address the root cause—whether hormonal imbalance, gut disruption, or chronic fatigue—healing becomes sustainable. Ash integrates modern science with timeless practices, drawing on global training in longevity medicine and regenerative therapies.
