What physicians said

The previous BHRT course taught the hormones individually. I always wondered how they affect each other — here Dr Mitra explained the hormones work as a network. Very well organised and systematically explained. Thank you.

Dr Mitra Sir's Hormone course turned me from a novice into a capable physician who can fine-tune the complaints I used to brush off with a painkiller — low energy, low mood, chronic fatigue and the like.
