Supercharge your stress support
Presented by: Vanessa Hitch
Life just seems to be busier as each year passes, and even the ‘sense of busy-ness’ creates more stress and even greater demand on critical nutrients.
Whether it’s financial pressures, work deadlines, late nights, a big life-change or even just a hectic social calendar, higher levels of stress are now an inevitable part of life. Unfortunately, this demanding lifestyle reduces our resilience to stress and increases the allostatic burden. Allostasis describes the total internal and external physiological wear-and-tear (or burden) on our body and nervous system.
In this webinar you will:
- How to quickly identify key signs and symptoms of adrenal dysfunction in your clinic
- Highly effective strategies using natural medicines and ongoing stress management techniques to quickly restore your patient’s vitality and nervous system resilience
- How to effectively prescribe activated B vitamins and evidenced-based herbal medicines in combination for super-charged stress support
In modern life, chronic stress becomes a main culprit of many mental and somatic disorders and most people are impacted by stress on a daily basis. Stress may disturb sleep and conversely disturbed sleep may contribute to stress.
This webinar will review latest research on:
- How a BioRegulatory Medicine has shown to be effective in the treatment of stress and stress-related complaints such as sleeplessness.
- How a BioRegulatory Medicine may assist in managing stress by regulating the stress and anxiety network in the brain.
Development of beneficial intestinal bacteria of infants born via caesarean section
Presented by: Dr Flavia Indrio
Colonisation at birth has a determining factor on the appropriate development of immune and metabolic functions in newborns, with impacts on their health in infancy and later in life. Many factors affect the development of the microbiota, including the type of delivery. The key message in this webinar is understanding the importance of preventing or treating dysbiosis in newborns to give them the best start in life and limit disease and poor health.
In this webinar you will:
• Discover the origins and phases of microbiota colonisation in infants pre- and post-pregnancy.
• Learn how epigenetic factors shape an infant’s microbiota.
• Understand the effects of the vaginal vs caesarian deliveries on microbiota and immune development, and how that can impact infant health.
• Discover the latest research and strategies, including probiotic use, in restoring gut health in children after a C-section.
The immune system is the gate keeper for maintaining safety in the body, but it often needs support to combat the challenges of the 21st century. Recent research has uncovered natural compounds that improve immune intelligence and performance, reduce fatigue and enhance wellbeing. They are called biological response modifiers (BRMs).
Thyroid dysfunction is often overlooked or misdiagnosed and can often be the underlying cause of fatigue, weight gain, anxiety and depression, and cognitive impairment. In this informative session, we will look at how to properly and effectively assess and treat thyroid dysfunction.
Probiotics – deep diving into key mechanisms of action
Presented by: Lotta Johansson
Being able to colonise the gastrointestinal tract, normalise microbiota levels and adversely affect pathogen survival, are all desirable characteristics of an effective probiotic. But often this information is not available on specific strains.
In this unmissable webinar, you will:
- Discover how one probiotic strain has shown proven colonisation.
- Learn about a unique effector molecule produced by a single species and its effect on pathogens.
- Look at the research and review how this same probiotic modulates microbiota levels and why it should be in everyone’s treatment protocol.
The fundamentals of effective and safe detoxification
Presented by: Paul Kern
Never before have we seen such a toxic burden being placed on the body. Our cellular detoxification, digestive and excretory systems are often overwhelmed, creating entirely new challenges for practitioners. However, effective and safe detoxification requires an intricate understanding of how these toxins are broken down, transported from the cells and effectively eliminated.
In this foundational evidence-based webinar you will learn:
- Essential prescribing for detoxification, including pH regulation, gut barrier strengthening and how to safely pull toxins out of the cells.
- About entero-hepatic recycling and how to stop partially detoxified substances being reabsorbed back into the body.
- Complete nutritional and phytonutritional solutions for trouble-shooting all four phases of detoxification.
Building Immune Resilience
Presented by: Vanessa Hitch
Building and maintaining robust immunity for short and long term resilience involves supporting the immune system at a cellular level, the tissue level and systems level. However, the immune system is regularly compromised by internal and environmental stressors.
Each year acute respiratory infections account for over six million GP visits. And with the looming consequences of antibiotic overuse, health professionals are looking to find a better way.
In this informative and solution orientated webinar we will cover:
- How to formulate a successful prescription for both chronic and acute cases of immune dysfunction
- Identifying critical factors needed for immune competence
- Protection and defence strategies against seasonal immune challenges, which work rapidly to reduce symptoms and build effective resilience.
Inflammation Resolution: A New Paradigm to Treat Inflammation
Presented by: Dr Bernd Seilheimer
It is widely accepted that the first immune system response to injury or infection is inflammation. However, when the inflammatory response is inappropriate, ineffective or excessive it can contribute to the development of a range of acute and chronic disease conditions. There are well known signs of acute inflammation and a standard view on how to treat it. In this webinar, we will examine a new paradigm on treating inflammation and take a detailed look at the biological factors involved in the process.
This innovative and interesting webinar will discuss:
- Examining the paradigm shift in treatment of acute inflammation changing the perception of a passive process
- The basic biology of inflammation and its resolution
- What immunoresolvins are and how they work on acute inflammatory responses
- How to measure inflammation resolution and the latest research surrounding this topic
