What is the best diet for overall health? Is it vegan, ketogenic, carnivore, Mediterranean, or something else entirely? While this debate has been ongoing for decades, emerging research is shedding light on how diet influences the body-particularly through its impact on the gut microbiome.

With advancements in science, practitioners can now assess how different diets affect gut health, metabolism, and immune function. Understanding these connections is essential for guiding patients toward informed nutritional choices that support long-term well-being.

In this session, Dr. Julia Malkowski, ND, DC, BSc, a naturopathic and chiropractic physician with expertise in functional medicine, will explore real-world case studies demonstrating how various dietary patterns shape the gut microbiome and overall health. Key biomarkers related to microbiome balance, inflammation, and metabolic function will be examined, providing actionable insights for clinical practice.

Learning Objectives:

• How different diets influence the gut microbiome and overall health
• Key biomarkers that provide insight into microbiome diversity, inflammation, and metabolic function
• How to use personalized assessments to guide nutrition recommendations
• Case studies illustrating the impact of diet on digestion, immunity, and well-being

Join Dr. Daniel Kalish for an in-depth webinar on H. pylori, one of the most common gut infections impacting digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall health. Practitioners find conditions ranging from eczema to fatigue to insomnia improving with H. pylori treatments. Dr. Kalish will review functional medicine strategies for diagnosing and treating H. pylori with a focus on lab testing, natural interventions, and gut microbiome restoration.

Perfect for all functional medicine practitioners that can order lab tests, this webinar provides actionable insights to improve patient outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

• Understanding H. pylori: How this bacteria affects the gut and contributes to chronic health issues.
• Functional Medicine Protocols: Clinically effective natural treatments.
• Gut Healing Strategies: How to repair the gut lining and restore microbial balance post-treatment.
• Case Studies and Q&A: Real-world clinical examples and live Q&A with Dr. Kalish.

In the intricate web of stress regulation, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis plays a pivotal role-but it doesn't act alone. Neurotransmitters and gut health are essential yet often overlooked factors in maintaining adrenal balance and resilience. This webinar is designed to provide healthcare practitioners with a comprehensive understanding of adrenal physiology, HPA axis regulation, and the interconnected systems that influence stress adaptation.

Join us as we explore the physiological mechanisms that govern HPA axis function, the phases of dysfunction, and the latest advancements in assessment tools, including diurnal rhythm evaluations and cortisol awakening response (CAR) testing. We'll take a deep dive into how neurotransmitters shape the stress response and how gut health can either support or disrupt HPA axis vitality.

By the end of this session, you'll have a well-rounded approach to optimizing adrenal function-leveraging neurotransmitter balance, gut health, and targeted testing to enhance patient care. Don't miss this opportunity to elevate your clinical expertise-register today!

Learning Objectives:

• Explore adrenal anatomy, physiology, and the key mechanisms that regulate a healthy HPA axis.
• Explore how the HPA axis adapts to stress and learn to identify key dysfunction patterns at different stages.
• Evaluate advanced assessment tools, including diurnal cortisol patterns and the cortisol awakening response (CAR).
• Discover how neurotransmitters and gastrointestinal health influence stress tolerance and HPA axis balance.
• Implement proven strategies to rebalance the HPA axis and strengthen patient resilience to stress.

Since the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study, estrogen has been widely vilified, leading to fear and misconceptions about its role in health. However, estrogen itself is not inherently harmful-its metabolism and elimination determine its impact on overall well-being and breast health.

This presentation unravels the complexities of estrogen metabolism and the estrobolome, shedding light on how hormones are processed and cleared from the body. The essential role of urinary hormone and metabolite testing will be explored, offering insights into individual metabolic function. A deep dive into phase 1, 2, and 3 metabolism will provide healthcare providers and patients with practical strategies for optimizing estrogen balance through lifestyle modifications, nutrition, treatment sequencing, and targeted nutraceutical interventions.

By bridging the gap between fear and science, this presentation delivers a balanced perspective on estrogen, equipping attendees with the knowledge needed to support hormonal health with confidence.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the impact of estrogen metabolism on overall well-being and dispel common misconceptions stemming from the WHI study.
• Learn how the gut microbiome influences estrogen metabolism and its role in hormonal balance.
• Gain insights into phase 1, 2, and 3 metabolism and how the body processes and eliminates estrogen.
• Discover how urinary hormone and metabolite testing can reveal an individual's unique metabolic function.
• Implement practical lifestyle, nutritional, and nutraceutical interventions to support healthy estrogen metabolism.
