“Cultivating a healthy vital endocrine system requires an optimally functioning digestive, nervous and immune system. The endocrine system includes the adrenal, pancreas, and thyroid glands whose function directly influences the neuro-imunno-endocrine system. Many aspects of modern day life directly affect endocrine gland health and function including pollution, environmental toxins, heavy metals, stress, light, nutritional factors, electromagnetic waves, gluten, soy, viruses, and community.”
 
This 6 week course looks at endocrine health through a functional model, looking at its interconnection with the nervous and immune systems, linking that to the health and wellness of and botanical strategies for endocrine health and function. Using a functional model to review endocrine system physiology, case histories, clinical presentations, and therapeutics. Review of botanical Adaptogens, which modulate the body’s response to all forms of stress helping to regulate the interconnected endocrine, immune, and nervous systems, will be highlighted along with specific endocrine gland botanicals. Discussion will include the concept of the adaptogen mechanism, the links between neuro-endocrine-immune systems and specific adaptogen plants, including relative clinical studies, and therapeutic application.

​This is a recorded course and you will receive access to the recordings for at least 6 months.

About Dr. Mary Bove

Dr. Mary Bove, Naturopathic Physician and Medical Herbalist, was called to the study of herbs as a young woman, traveling to Alert Bay, Canada in 1977 to meet her teacher and mentor Norma Meyers, which started her career in herbs.

 In 1980 she opened an herb shop in her hometown of Portland, Maine called Hippocrates’s Herbarium which was clearly “a little before its time”. She continued her work at Ram Island Farm in Cape Elizabeth, Maine growing and farming herbs for retail sales.

In 1984 Mary left the farm and traveled to England to begin her studies at the National Institute of Medical Herbalist’s School of Phytotherapy, gaining membership with the institute shortly after receiving her Diploma of Phytotherapy.  Returning to the US she attended Bastyr University and received her doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine and Certificate of Midwifery. Mary served as the Chair of Botanical Medicine and Midwifery Co-Chair at Bastyr University for several years before returning east for clinical practice.

She owned and managed the Brattleboro Naturopathic Clinic for 25 years practicing general family medicine, offering homebirths and specializing in pediatric care. She left clinical practice a year ago to educate, write, and to teach. Dr. Bove’s book “The Encyclopedia of Natural healing for Infants and Children” has served as a leading reference for herbal care with children. Dr. Bove lectures internationally, participating in many natural medicine conferences, and currently works as the Medical Director for Gaia Herbs.
