In this 4-part webinar series, Dr Clark will discuss four areas that share similar treatment approaches and explain how to assess when the dysfunction is most closely associated with inflammation. Register now to learn about the latest research to support inflammatory health and disease states, including protocols, timelines and patient resources.

Practitioner only event | Free PANDAS and PANS are creating a paradigm shift in the mental health landscape as we begin to understand that immune activity in the body affects the brain and its function. They are neuroimmune conditions in which infectious and/or environmental triggers initiate an autoimmune response in the brain, primarily in the basal ganglia, thereby affecting a child’s behaviour. The Core 4 of a functional medicine approach to PANS/PANDAS will be discussed, including how to set the foundation of a treatment protocol for PANS/PANDAS. Learning Objectives

• To identify the most common infectious and/or environmental agents preceding the onset of PANDAS or PANS symptoms
• To gain an understanding of the mechanisms of injury to the brain from the infectious and/or environmental triggers
• How the mechanisms to injury relate to the observed symptoms and behaviour changes in a child
• To learn emerging treatments that may be used to address the causes contributing to the neuroinflammation and changes in neurochemistry, immunity, and the gut microbiome

The principles of this webinar extend to supporting children with anxiety and other conditions which cause or are caused by neural inflammation.

Practitioner Only Cardiometabolic syndrome comprises some of the most prevalent chronic illnesses plaguing men over 35 years old and the incidence rates are increasing in the developed world. It is imperative that we identify and mitigate the root cause drivers of cardiometabolic diseases and recent discoveries, from human microbiome studies, suggests that the microbiome may play a causal role in the onset and progression of numerous conditions under this umbrella. If the microbiome is a key driver, it signifies that an ecological problem is at the root and that the ecosystem could be modulated to dramatically reduce risk. This lecture will outline the role of the microbiome in the onset and progression of cardiometabolic syndrome and low testosterone in men and will discuss mitigating strategies that can easily be incorporated into practice.
