UPCOMING WEBINARS
Mitochondria are the energy producing factories of our cells. Unfortunately, they are susceptible to damage from various things such as heavy metals, chemicals, inflammation and chronic infections. This presentation will discuss how and why these and other factors lead to mitochondrial problems.
The Organic Acids Test (OAT) is a complicated profile with various markers. This presentation will cover the basics in effectively analyzing certain common lab findings.
Existing research demonstrates that obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a multifactorial condition that is influenced by genetics and environmental risk factors. First-line treatment of OCD is typically a combination of an antidepressant medication and cognitive behavioral therapy. However, SSRI treatments for OCD yields benefit to approximately only 40-60% of patients and has been found to cause adverse side effects. There has been an emerging interest in the use of nutritional and plant-based interventions to treat OCD, including N-acetylcysteine, inositol, and probiotics. This webinar will discuss the research evaluating its clinical utility, and how to incorporate adjuvant therapies to minimize medication side effects while enhancing treatment outcomes.
