What is the Women's Hormone Health Certification Live Group Program?
This certification program is an immersive group experience that’s designed to transform you into a more knowledgeable and confident practitioner in just EIGHT months.
It covers everything from the foundations of women’s hormone health and menstrual cycle theory, case studies and practical application of the students’ skills, and specific condition-related strategies that can be used to support clients, along with very important mindset shifts and confidence building to help students create a thriving women’s health practice.
Students will receive in depth training with Nicole Jardim and her team of experts on general women’s health, hormones and the endocrine system, the menstrual cycle at every stage of life, various conditions including endometriosis and PCOS, as well as the step by step Fix Your Period Protocol that Nicole has been using with her clients in her practice for over a decade.
The Women’s Hormone Certification Live Group Program is part hormone health/cycle training, part mastermind, part mentorship.
How Does the Program Work?
The program combines 12 modules with over 30 hours of invaluable content, along with multiple live, interactive group teaching calls with Nicole and numerous guest teachers. It’s structured so that there are one to two 60-90 minute calls each week, so there are about 4-5 calls each month. There is a LOT of guidance, mentorship and support from Nicole and her team!
Everything is taught from a foundational perspective, so you never feel confused or behind–like you’re on step 5 but feel like you somehow missed steps 1-4! You will receive a certification at the end of the program once you have passed all of the module tests and a two-part final assessment.

What is the time commitment?
The Women’s Hormone Health Certification Program is an 8-month live group program and it is divided into three semesters. The program is structured so that there are one to two 60 to 90 minute calls each week, so generally speaking there will be 4-5 calls a month.
At the beginning of each month, one-two modules will be released which will take you 2-4 hours to go through.
So you’re looking at 2 – 3 hours a week depending on whether we have a module released that week and how long the teaching call(s) last for.
Is the Program Recognized Internationally?
Yes! In the United States, the Women’s Hormone Health Certification Program is accredited and approved for 36 CEs (Continuing Education Credits) through The National Board For Health & Wellness Coaching.

In addition to being accredited for 36 CEs through The National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC), we are currently in the process of securing certification with two internationally recognized organizations: the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM) and the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT). We should have both of these by the end of September 2025.
Both IPHM and IICT are widely respected organizations that support holistic health professionals by providing recognition, credibility, and access to professional membership benefits. Once our certification is complete, this will allow our graduates from over 55 countries to gain additional professional validation, join international practitioner directories, and, in some cases, access liability insurance options, depending on their location and scope of practice.
These certifications serve to further establish the Women’s Hormone Health Certification Program as a trusted and comprehensive training for health coaches and practitioners worldwide.
If you are looking for accreditation through a different organization, you may be able to use our course curriculum to apply for accreditation within your institute/association. In a case like this, you’ll likely have to fill out and submit some forms, along with the course curriculum, and a letter from the program signing off on your completion which we would be more than happy to provide.

This is a great question! We have had multiple people who are not native English speakers take the program before and do quite well. Each module contains multiple lectures that each come in the form of recorded videos, written transcripts, audio files, and downloadable slides. Past students have taken the transcripts, translated them into their preferred language then used that to follow along with the video lectures or with the PDF copy of the slides.
We do not offer direct translations of the program into any other language so some comfort with the English language is recommended but if you’re willing to work on the translations yourself, you can be successful in the program!
The initial payment is due to secure your place in the program, and then the remaining payments will be charged to your credit card or PayPal account automatically every 30 days.

The Women’s Hormone Health Certification Programs is a knowledge-based program.
Becoming a certified health coach requires an intensive training program specifically designed to develop coaching as a skillset—learning how to guide, motivate, and support clients in achieving their health goals. Because effective coaching is a refined practice in itself, it requires a dedicated program focused solely on that discipline.
Rather than combining both coaching education and hormone health training into one, we have intentionally designed these programs to provide a deep, specialized education in women’s physiology, hormone health, and menstrual cycles. This ensures that graduates gain an advanced level of expertise in these areas and know how to apply this knowledge effectively to support clients within their scope of practice.
Upon completing the program, you will be a Certified Women’s Hormone Health Practitioner. The exact title you use may depend on your background:

The certification program consists of 12 modules. Each module contains 3-6 lectures, which all include evidence-based content with links to all research studies and references cited (there are 100’s of studies that have been referenced). The research and content are all updated on a yearly basis. Nicole has spent years working with clients and observing their results and she has pored over the literature on hormones and menstrual health to create this program. She has also collaborated with a number of leading women’s health experts with various specialties to help create some of the content presented in the program.
There is extensive information on the menstrual cycle, ovulation, the hormone fluctuations that drive each phase of the cycle, as well as the different hormones and how they impact each area of health and overall wellbeing. Additionally, there are protocols for the foundational aspects of health like the gut and liver detoxification, and there are protocols for specific conditions like PCOS and endometriosis. Finally, there are guest expert lecturers who deliver research-backed presentations on a variety of relevant topics.
As soon as you enroll in the program you’ll get immediate access to the first two modules of the program.
Then the program officially kicks off the first week of October with our first call on Wednesday, October 1st at 3 PM ET (New York time).
After that, calls will be held weekly on Wednesdays at 12 PM ET or 3 PM ET so you can plan accordingly. The schedule will occasionally deviate from Wednesdays (a few Thursdays have been scheduled already) depending on availability and holidays observed in the US. You will get the call schedule once you’ve registered for the program.
We take the week of US Thanksgiving off, two weeks off at the end of December, one week off at the beginning of January to give everyone time to catch up, get up to date and balance business and personal commitments during these busy times of year.
Call recordings will be uploaded to the program portal within 4 hours of each call’s completion in case you can’t join us live.
Here is a brief overview of the calls we’ll have in the program:
- 1 Orientation Call
- 9 Content Teaching and Q&A Calls
- 6 Client Case Study Calls
- 4 Business Building Calls
- 4 Master Your Mindset Calls
- 7 Guest Expert Teaching Presentations
- 4 Open Office Hours Calls
- 2 Practitioner Training Workshops
- 1 Program Wrap Up Call
If you are in a country where your time zone doesn’t allow you to be on the calls live, you can still participate in the program. You are required to watch the replays within 24 hours of the live call time so you can stay up to date and involved in the content, and engage in the Facebook group.
The Women’s Hormone Health Certification Program is an 8-month live group program divided into three semesters. It’s structured so that there are one to two 60 to 90-minute calls each week, so generally speaking, there will be 4-5 calls a month.
At the beginning of each month, one to two modules will be released, which will each take 2-4 hours to work through on your own time.
So you’re looking at 2–3 hours a week, depending on whether we have a module released that week and how long the teaching call(s) last.
Due to the hecticness of the holiday season, calls will be reduced in specifically during the week of US Thanksgiving and over the winter holiday season in December and January.
The biggest difference between the Live Group Program and the Self-Study Program is the level of live interaction, community, and real-time support you receive.
In the Live Group Program, every step of your journey is guided by live teaching and direct access to Nicole and her expert team. You’ll participate in weekly live calls, including Teaching & Q&A Calls, Case Study Reviews, Business Building Calls, Mindset Calls, Guest Expert Presentations, and Office Hours Calls, so you’re never left to figure things out on your own. From start to finish, you have opportunities to ask questions in real time, get feedback, and receive expert mentorship that helps you apply what you’re learning right away.The calls and guest teachers are all brand new and we’re offering a new and more streamlined format for learning more effectly than we’ve offered in previous years.
You’ll also be part of a dedicated WhatsApp group created just for the live program, which keeps you connected daily to your peers, the Community Manager, and Nicole herself. This makes it easy to get support when you need it and build real relationships with others on the same path. On top of that, you’ll have access to a private Facebook group for deeper connection and ongoing support even after the program ends.
By contrast, the Self-Study Program contains the same core curriculum (you’ll get recordings from last year’s Content Teaching and Case Study calls) and protocols but is designed for independent learners who consider themselves self starters and dont need consistent guidance and coaching. You can move through the material at your own pace, and you’ll receive one monthly live Q&A call with one of Nicole’s coaches, plus access to the private Facebook group. This is a great option if you prefer flexibility, but it doesn’t include the ongoing live mentorship, expert access, or daily community that make the Live Group Program such a transformational experience.
Ultimately, if you want consistent live access to experts, real-time support, daily connection, and the accountability that comes with being part of a group, the Live Group Program is the premium choice, and it’s designed to help you accelerate both your learning and your career and business growth.
The IIN Hormone Health Program is an entirely self-paced program that provides a Facebook group for support. The program was created in 2016 and we aren’t sure how much it has been updated since that time. It also does not have a heavy emphasis on the menstrual cycle, the endocrine system, or the actual protocols you can implement with your clients.
This highly comprehensive program is completely up to date from a scientific perspective and is structured completely differently with a major focus on menstrual and hormonal health in the first part. In the second part of the program, Nicole teaches her foundational protocol for working with clients. This program also includes a number of protocols that help address specific issues like heavy periods, PMS, PMDD, missing cycles and more. This program will equip you with theoretical knowledge but also a clear understanding of how to actually help your current and future clients who are experiencing hormonal issues. There is no point learning information without learning the steps to utilize it in your practice.
Yes, the Women’s Hormone Health Certification Programs are more expensive than the IIN program, but it is important to spend your time and money on a program that is going to help you build a successful women’s health-focused business rather than one where you will need more training again to feel confident in your ability to help women with their health concerns.
Finally, in the live group version of the program there is a tremendous amount of live support, including weekly calls, a Facebook group, a WhatsApp group for the current cohort, and we have a community manager who checks in and makes sure you are doing well in the program. The self-study version of the program has one live Q&A call each month facilitated by Nicole to help support the self-study students as they navigate through the program.
Due to the nature of the content there is some overlap, but generally speaking, this is a comprehensive, up to date, science backed program that will be a deep dive into women’s hormone health.

Only licensed medical professionals (such as doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, naturopathic doctors and sometimes registered dietitians or chiropractors) can legally order and interpret medical tests, diagnose and prescribe (limited to doctors, nurses and physician assistants) in a way that informs treatment decisions.
Interpreting tests and diagnosing a condition are outside of the scope of practice for unlicensed practitioners. However, many health coaches, nutritionists, and other wellness professionals can legally review lab tests (like DUTCH, GI-MAP, or hormone panels) and provide educational insights—as long as they do not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatments, or claim to replace a medical professional. Instead, they can guide clients in understanding how lifestyle factors, nutrition, and habits may influence their health based on test results.
It’s essential for non-licensed practitioners to check local regulations and ensure they are staying within their legal scope of practice. Some states and countries have strict laws, while others allow for more flexibility under “health education” or “wellness coaching” models. Many practitioners collaborate with licensed providers to help clients navigate lab testing within a legal and ethical framework.
Nicole feels it is important to teach program participants about the different types of testing available and how to determine if your client’s results are outside the normal ranges, regardless of whether you are a licensed practitioner or not. This is taught in the final module of the program.
This knowledge will help you develop an introductory understanding of lab testing related to menstrual health, enabling you to guide clients in recognizing the relevance of lab results to their symptoms and encouraging them to seek appropriate testing and evaluation from their healthcare provider.
The program equips participants with the knowledge to help clients recognize patterns in their health, such as menstrual cycle irregularities or symptoms of chronic conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, or thyroid disorders. Understanding these conditions enables participants to help their clients seek appropriate evaluation and testing from their healthcare provider.
Most of the reference ranges and supplement dosages in the program are based on US measurements. However, we understand that many of our students and clients work with international standards. To make things easier, we provide online conversion calculators and resources to help you seamlessly translate values into metric measurements when needed.
Our goal is to ensure that you can confidently apply this knowledge no matter where you’re located!
So, are you in?
I can't wait to take this exciting journey with you!
