Management of Menopause Type^®Seminar
Module E: Plan
Designing a Treatment Plan
Plan:
	a method for doing something or achieving an end; a detailed program;
Treatment plans for the management of Menopause Types^® will be presented in templates that can be customized to the unique needs of each woman. Following the guidelines discussed in previous modules, these templates can be merged into a cohesive plan.
Treatment Plans For The Management of Menopause Types^®.
Some of the guidelines that apply to the development of a treatment plan:
	The evolving trend in healthcare is towards functional medicine with a stated goal of maintaining and restoring normal function of tissue and body systems. This goal applies to the endocrine system as well, which responds to lifestyle, nutritional, herbal and other therapies that can restore function without replacing the function.
	The goal continues to be maintaining and restoring normal function of endocrine tissue, while keeping hormone precursors and hormone replacement therapy as later options in therapeutic intervention. The modification of risks & symptoms are best approached in the following order.
			1. Lifestyle Choices 2. Adequate Nutrients with Proper Elimination 3. Herbs and Homeopathy 4. Glandulars 5. Hormone Precursors 6. Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy
	Therapeutic interventions based on only subjective data should include nutritional and herbal support, and limited to non-hormonal therapies. Therapeutic interventions based only on subjective data should be initiated on the first visit.
	Objective data allows more advanced therapy. The therapeutic interventions based on objective data can now include more advanced therapies. These include glandulars, hormone precursors and natural hormones. These therapies are more "directive" and can directly raise hormone levels in the body. An important distinction is that glandulars, hormone precursors and natural hormone replacement are so potent that they "do not give the body a choice".
	The assessment is derived from the correlative interpretation of both subjective and objective data.
	The structure and function of body systems and tissues require more than hormones. Variations in tissue response are due to needs of other substances such as nutrients, shifts in hormone levels, cell receptor resistance and / or the presence of antagonists are recognized, as defined in the function response model.
	Symptoms are usually multi-causal in nature and not always the effect of a single imbalance or deficiency. The symptoms associated with any condition (even a “hormonal condition”) are rarely symptoms that are exclusive to that condition. As noted, there are other causes of estrogen deficiency symptoms, other causes of progesterone deficiency symptoms, other causes of testosterone deficiency symptoms, and other causes of androgen excess symptoms. These non-hormonal causes of symptoms respond well to lifestyle choices, nutrients, proper elimination, herbs and homeopathy.
Designing a Treatment Plan – Components of a Plan
Based on the above guidelines, a treatment plan for the management of Menopause Types^®can be designed the following components.
				Protocols Based only on Subjective Data Protocols Based on Objective Data Protocols to Manage Specific Symptoms Protocols to Support Body Systems
The merging of these protocols into a collective plan will result in comprehensive therapeutic interventions.
The protocols will be introduced in the components outlined above: {1} subjective; {2} objective; {3} specific symptoms & {4} support of body systems. The guidelines for choosing within each component, and merging them into a cohesive treatment plan will then be discussed.
What's Next?
Protocols based only on subjective data.
