This webinar series will cover a range of topics relating to functional testing.
The Neurotransmitter Connection to Stress: Case Studies and Clinical Applications
Case studies are always a great opportunity to solidify clinical applications. Responses to stress vary patient by patient. Insomnia, fatigue, anxiousness, depressive episodes, poor attention, increased pain, GI distress, and weight gain are some of the most common presentations to our offices. Looking for common threads is crucial to supporting patients on their road to health. The nervous system uses neurotransmitters all day, every day, and stress places an increased demand on these neurotransmitter systems. Join Dr Scott Theirl as he discusses why neurotransmitters, along with hormones such as cortisol, are key to understanding your patients stress responses and symptoms. The basic concepts involved in neurotransmitter interpretation will be reviewed. Case studies will then be utilised to personalise therapeutic recommendations.
Mould & Yeast in Children: Case Studies in Using the Urine Organic Acid and Mycotoxin Tests to Guide Treatment
In this webinar and through the use of case studies, Dr Nancy O’Hara will discuss the use of history, physical exam and appropriate lab testing to help each child reach their full potential. She will talk about the interpretation of the OAT in facilitating diagnosis and appropriate treatment options. She will define triggers and treatment of Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CRIS) and using the Mycotox test in the diagnosis and treatment of CIRS as well as review the use of the Mycotox test in the diagnosis and treatment of Mould Mycotoxin disease.
The Power and Potential of the DUTCH test – Maximising clinical outcomes
Dr Rice will highlight typical questions and scenarios to look for when working with your patients to get the most out of the DUTCH test. She provides what to look for on DUTCH test patterns specific to certain symptoms including oestrogen dominance, hair loss, acne, HPA axis dysfunction, inflammation, and multiple responses to stress. She also provides a review of general treatment guidelines relevant to patients’ symptoms.
This presentation will enhance your understanding and utilisation of DUTCH testing and support the best clinical outcomes.
Learning Outcomes
- This webinar will give you, as a practitioner a more in-depth tool kit when utilising the DUTCH test to improve clinical outcomes on a deeper level by looking at complex case studies and having more in-depth questions answered
- Increase awareness and knowledge around specific patterns to look out for when assessing a DUTCH test report
- Enhance your understanding of what supplements and lifestyle interventions can be used alongside a DUTCH test for the best clinical outcomes
Even ‘Healthy Foods’ Can Make Your Patients Unwell
During this webinar Dr Kristi, a practicing ND, will discuss how she utilises food inflammatory testing (FIT) to uncover potentially harmful foods that may be creating underlying inflammation in individual patients. She will explain what the FIT test is and the advantages of testing IgG and C3d (complement) to understand how certain foods may be the driver of inflammation. She will explain how something as simple as removing these foods, even those considered ‘healthy’, from your patients diet may improve the symptoms presenting to you in clinic.
Assessing the Gut Barrier Function and Addressing Intestinal Permeability
During this webinar Dr Kristi, a practicing ND, will discuss utilising food inflammatory testing (FIT) to uncover potentially harmful foods that may be creating underlying inflammation in patients. She will explain what the FIT test is and the advantages of testing IgG and C3d (complement) to understand how certain foods may be the driver of inflammation. She will explain how removing these foods, even those considered ‘healthy’, may improve the symptoms in patients.
Practitioner’s Guide and GI Case Study Review
Dr Kristi dives into the resource that has been created for practitioners ‘The KBMO Practitioners Guide’ and how it can assist practitioners to go deeper into their knowledge behind immune complexes, inflammatory cascades and looking at strategies for managing gut barrier problems. Dr Krista continues discussing the Gut Barrier Panel through case study review.
