Why this one-day workshop will broaden your perspective on modern women's health

Hormonal changes, menstrual cycle disorders, endometriosis, menopause & hormonal imbalance can no longer be viewed in isolation. Modern women's health takes a holistic view of a woman's body and incorporates important insights from gynaecological practice to help women through life.

In this intensive one-day workshop, you will work with hormone experts Olivia Hirschberg & Dr. med. Julia Dette on real-life case studies from women's health.

You will analyse the connections between menstrual cycle disorders, findings & the body as a holistic system. You will derive practical diagnostic & therapeutic strategies.

Instead of classic frontal lectures, you will experience a compact workshop day where functional diagnostics become understandable, applicable and directly integrable into your daily practice – for more safety, clarity and sustainable therapy success.

Frequently Asked Questions & Answers

What is special about this one-day workshop?

The workshop focuses on hands-on work with real-world case studies in women's health within the context of functional medicine. Together with Olivia Hirschberg and Dr. med. Julia Dette, you will analyze hormonal, metabolic, and systemic relationships and develop structured diagnostic and therapeutic strategies based on these findings.


Instead of purely theoretical lectures, an interactive learning day awaits you with concrete practical cases, professional exchange, and directly applicable knowledge for everyday therapeutic practice. Special focus is placed on functional diagnostics, individualized therapy approaches, and sustainable treatment concepts for women in different life stages – from cycle disorders and endometriosis to menopause.

Who is the workshop suitable for?

This full-day workshop is aimed at specialist users and therapists in the fields of functional medicine, integrative medicine, classical and functional gynecology, naturopathy, and nutritional medicine.


The workshop is particularly suitable for anyone who wants to better understand hormonal and systemic connections in women's health, apply functional diagnostics in a targeted manner, and make well-founded therapeutic decisions based on practical case studies.

How can the workshop benefit my daily work?

The focus is on current topics in functional women's health, including:

  • PCOS
    and hormonal imbalances
  • Endometriosis
    from an integrative perspective
  • Menopause
    and functional therapeutic approaches
  • Functional
    diagnostics & lab parameters
  • Microbiome,
    nutrition and micronutrients
  • Holistic
    therapy and prevention strategies
  • Practical
    case studies and therapeutic decision-making

Do I need any prior knowledge?

Basic knowledge of functional medicine, hormonal systems, or integrative therapy approaches is helpful but not a mandatory prerequisite.


The content is practically oriented and suitable for experienced therapists as well as specialist users who want to specifically deepen their knowledge in women's health.

Why is focusing on women's health so important?

Many hormonal and chronic conditions in women are viewed in isolation in everyday practice, although complex systemic relationships often underlie them. The workshop provides an integrated view of hormonal regulation, metabolism, the microbiome, inflammatory processes, and lifestyle factors.


The aim is to understand women's complaints not only symptom-oriented but holistically and causally, and to provide therapeutic support.

How can the workshop benefit my daily work?

The workshop provides practical knowledge that can be applied directly in everyday professional life. You will learn how to better classify complex hormonal and systemic complaints, meaningfully interpret functional diagnostics, and systematically derive therapeutic decisions.

By working on real cases, you will gain more confidence in dealing with topics such as PCOS, endometriosis, hormonal imbalances, and menopausal symptoms. At the same time, you will broaden your perspective on integrative therapeutic approaches from functional medicine, nutritional medicine, naturopathy, and modern gynecology.


The goal is to take away concrete strategies and approaches that will enrich and facilitate your work with female patients in the long term.

How does a case study proceed in the workshop?

The speakers present real-world case studies and guide participants step-by-step through anamnesis, laboratory parameters, functional correlations, and diagnostic considerations.

Participants are actively encouraged to consider and discuss possible causes, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic strategies. Afterwards, the experts present their own diagnostic and therapeutic solutions.
This creates a structured, interactive learning process that optimally combines theory and practice and makes concrete decision-making processes understandable.

Can I ask the experts questions?

Yes, expressly desired. The workshop thrives on professional exchange and active discussion.

After each case study, there will be a Q&A session where individual questions can be asked and personal thoughts or experiences can be shared. There will also be opportunities for personal exchange with the speakers and other participants during breaks.

Are there any documents?

Yes. You will receive accompanying handouts as well as relevant overviews of laboratory parameters and diagnostic correlations, so that you can sustainably apply the content in your daily practice.

Where is the workshop taking place?

The one-day workshop will take place at the Hospital for Naturopathic Medicine (KfN) in Munich.
