Disclaimer – Important Notice on HRT Content

Please be aware: The material in this course discussing Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) was accurate at the time of recording/publication. However, medical guidelines for HRT have evolved since then. As Giovanni Maciocia sadly passed away in 2018, he was unable to update the content to reflect these recent developments. This course is therefore presented for educational purposes only and may not reflect the most current clinical standards or research regarding HRT. We’re providing this information to honour Giovanni’s expertise in TCM, but we strongly encourage you to consult up-to-date Western medical sources and licensed healthcare professionals when making decisions related to hormone therapy.

The courses are also approved by the Australian Traditional Medicine Society (ATMS), New Zealand Register of Acupuncturists (AcNZ) and New Zealand Acupuncture Standards Authority (NZASA) for the purpose of CPD Category 2.
