Putting Out the Fire: A Functional Medicine Approach to Managing Inflammation and Health In Your Clients
We’re experiencing an epidemic of inflammation, thanks to our excessive stress, abundance of processed foods, and omnipresence of toxins (and lack of restoration, healing food, and connection). We’re also experiencing hormonal dysfunction, with Google trends showing a 500% increase in searches for “perimenopause,” and testosterone in males decreasing by nearly 25% in 20 years. Our rates of chronic diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative diseases are increasing at faster rates than ever before. As practitioners, we know these are all connected … but what can we do to help our clients change? This session is packed with information to share with your clients about what causes inflammation, as well as tips to optimize their inflammation levels, impacting their cognition, mood, and long-term health. We’ll go through client case studies and simple handouts that have helped reverse inflammation in thousands of clients.
