About the Course:
In collaboration with Jenni Gallagher, APRN, The Elite Nurse Practitioner is proud to announce the release of The Advanced Women’s Health and HRT course, the Elite NP guide one advanced women’s healthcare and hormone replacement therapy. This course has been in development over the last year, and I am finally happy to say it is now out after countless requests from the Elite NP membership.
This course is the “next step” in our women’s health course line, where the original and newly updated women’s health course provides the foundational concepts of women’s health and hormone replacement therapy. This advanced course goes over a plethora of new disease processes predominately seen in the female patient population IN ADDITION to advanced hormone replacement therapy concepts from more of a functional/integrative approach. The original women’s health course covers hormone replacement therapy from more of a standardized approach (it does include integrative approaches though) whereas this course is rooted in more integrative medicine instead.
Women’s health and hormone replacement therapy targeting females is a growing field. More and more women are aging and with that comes declines in a variety of hormones and a plethora of health conditions. Therefore, it is critical for the astute nurse practitioner to know how to provide more advanced care to your female patients outside of what the original course provides!
This course is for the nurse practitioner who already has a basic understanding of women’s health and hormone replacement. This course assumes you know foundational information; therefore, I would advise against taking this course if you are brand new to women’s health or hormone replacement therapy (no worries though, this course can be bundles with the original women’s health course for a significant discount so you can develop a solid understanding of all the concepts you need to know to get started!)
This course covers:
- The physiology of hormones in the body.
- Why DHEA and pregnenolone are critically important in the hormone cascade and for optimal health.
- Advanced testosterone replacement therapy in women.
- Advanced lab interpretation for all the concepts discussed in the course.
- Advanced estrogen and progesterone therapy in women.
- How to evaluate and treat endometriosis.
- How to evaluate and treat PMS/PMDD.
- How to evaluate and treat fibromyalgia.
- Foundational concepts of Iron and ferritin and how it affects the health of women.
- A variety of concepts surrounding thyroid disease.
- Utilizing low dose naltrexone.
- Understanding inflammation and how to affects disease in women.
- How to evaluate and treat interstitial cystitis.
- How to evaluate and treat chronic fatigue.
- The practice and business considerations with advanced women’s health.
- AND MUCH MORE!
PLUS, this course will award 8 official CE hours where 3 of those will be considered pharmacology hours.
This course is approximately 6 hours in length and will take a deep dive into advanced women’s health topics in addition to hormone replacement. Once you finish this course, you should walk away feeling empowered and confident to tackle more advanced women’s health care PLUS expand your hormone replacement therapy knowledge and skill set.
If you are looking for advanced women’s health education outside of our foundational women’s health course or simply want to expand on what you already know, then this course is for you!

Marilyn: Justin truly cares about nurse practitioners and wants them to thrive. His courses are informative and provide all you need to start a business safely and efficiently. All he does for the nursing profession is appreciated.
Sara: I am a CNM, WHNP, and functional medicine provider. Over the years I have used Elite NPs courses to add on specialty areas. To be clear, theses are areas that I already had significant training in (BHRT, Thyroid, Functional Medicine), but wanted to fill in any holes and feel more confident in my training. Elite NP's courses are very thorough. They are taught by experts in the field. Definitely to be gone through at least twice. I recommend Elite NPs courses to all of my colleagues. I have had all of my courses reimbursed through work and you can do the course work from home. And- best part- everytime I have reached out to Justin/Elite NP for help- they answer back very quickly and fix the problem immediately. I highly recommend. The courses are affordable and the info is accurate.
Takeshanicole: Trustworthy, reliable and affordable education and guidance is provided. Timely responses with continued support and encouragement to become successful.
Hi, I’m Justin Allan MSN FNP
I am the owner and author of The Elite Nurse Practitioner, one of the hottest blogs for nurse practitioners who want to break free from the shackles of modern healthcare.
I have been practicing as an NP for 7 years. I have worked all over the country and in many different settings. I became sick of working for others and not earning what I knew what was possible and fair. So I decided to venture out on my own.
I now own multiple successful side practices and businesses as an NP. My goal is to share the knowledge I have learned and developed to my fellow NP colleagues so you can reach a level of success that very few NPs will ever achieve. It is possible to build profitable practices and businesses as a nurse practitioner!
