Nutrient Therapies in the Aesthetic Setting is the first course of its kind in Australia. An in-depth, eight-module online course designed for doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, and dermal clinicians. The course brings together current research in longevity, epigenetics, personalised nutrition and precision medicine.

The central theme evolves around the role of the gut microbiome in human health and disease. Each module provides a deep dive into:

This module, originally prepared for University College London, explores the intricate communication network between the gastrointestinal system, the nervous system, and the skin. The gut–brain–skin axis has become a central focus in understanding the systemic drivers of aesthetic and dermatological conditions.

This module focuses on mediators of gut-brain-skin signaling pathways linked to common skin presentations such as acne, rosacea and psoriasis. By addressing these pathways, practitioners can move beyond symptomatic treatments to target underlying mechanisms that contribute to both skin health and overall wellbeing.

Perimenopause is a period of profound hormonal, metabolic, and inflammatory change that directly impacts the skin, body composition, and overall wellbeing. This module, originally prepared for University College London, provides a comprehensive overview of the physiological shifts that underpin aesthetic changes during this stage of life, with an emphasis on how practitioners can support both aesthetic and systemic health through evidence-based interventions.

During perimenopause, the natural decline in oestrogen has a profound impact on skin and overall health leading to reduced collagen and elastin, drier and thinner skin, impaired barrier function, pigmentation changes, and shifts in fat distribution. These hormonal changes also interact with metabolic and inflammatory pathways, contributing to weight gain, reduced muscle mass, and increased inflammation. At the same time, many of the biological hallmarks of ageing - such as mitochondrial
dysfunction, oxidative stress, and cellular senescence - become more apparent, creating clear targets for nutritional and lifestyle interventions that can support both aesthetic outcomes and systemic wellbeing.

Injectable nutrient therapies are an emerging area of interest in aesthetic and integrative medicine. While oral supplementation remains foundational, injectable delivery can be considered when rapid repletion, enhanced bioavailability, or targeted therapeutic effects are required.

This module provides a comprehensive overview of the evidence base, safety considerations, and clinical applications for commonly used nutrients in injectable form: Vitamin D, B-vitamins, Vitamin C, Glutathione, NAD⁺, and NAD⁺ boosters.

Unlike other courses, this is an independent overview of injectable nutrient therapies, ensuring that you receive unbiased information on their role in aesthetic and integrative medicine.
