Join Dr. Kalish for this free webinar on one of the most often overlooked health concerns, yeast overgrowth in the GI tract. The wide range of potential symptoms stemming from yeast problems, ranging from fatigue to depression, make this condition difficult to determine from patient history and symptoms alone. In the absence of obvious GI complaints, lab testing for yeast and fungal overgrowth reveals those suffering from chronic health complaints driven by hidden GI problems. We will look at the types of yeast overgrowth, and discuss the most effective treatment options for these types of problems.

Approximately half of all Americans will suffer chronic disease in their lifetime. The burden of chronic disease poses a significant impact regards to public health and individual health. There exists a connection between the gut microbiome and the pathogenesis of chronic disease. This talk will discuss this intricate link between he gut microbiome and chronic disease. Prevalent chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's and depression will be discussed in relation to the gut microbiome. Appropriate evaluation of the GI microbiome will be discussed alongside clinical considerations. Attendees will take away an understanding of the pathogenesis of chronic disease and the gut microbiome.

Stress, driven by inflammation, circadian disruption, glycemic dysregulation, and perceived stress, affects multiple systems. In the context of stress-related concerns, the common approach of examining the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis via cortisol and DHEA assessment overlooks the intricate interplay between neurotransmitters and the HPA axis. These intertwined systems must be understood holistically.
For instance, heightened serotonin levels trigger an increase in Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH), subsequently elevating cortisol and DHEA release. Conversely, low cortisol prompts ACTH elevation, fostering serotonin release to compensate for adrenal demands. A dynamic loop exists within the HPA axis, relying on both systems' vitality for optimal function.
The fight or flight response is governed by epinephrine, norepinephrine, and cortisol. Neuroadrenal testing reveals patterns of neuroadrenal/sympathetic fatigue stages, crucial for supporting the HPA axis and stress response, including epinephrine, norepinephrine, and cortisol responsiveness.
Elevating overall health involves assessing these biochemical networks, and shedding light on effective treatment strategies. Participants will uncover how neuroadrenal imbalance influences mental and physical symptoms like energy levels, mood, focus, cognition, and sleep.
By fortifying neurotransmitters, HPA axis dysregulation can be mitigated or even reversed. As HPA axis balance is restored, we can observe neurotransmitters regain harmony. The course delves into treatment considerations utilizing lifestyle adjustments and natural interventions. Real-life case studies solidify these concepts, enabling practical clinical applications. Join Lylen Ferris, ND to comprehend these intricate systems, optimizing health by harmonizing neurotransmitters and HPA axis dynamics.

With the post-pandemic uptick of travel, Daylight Saving Time, and further development of a 24/7/365 work culture, our circadian rhythms have become more disrupted. This is critically important not only for sleep, but for whole health. The circadian system is dependent upon the predictable nocturnal pulse of melatonin to promote drowsiness and drop our core body temperature. Beyond sleep, melatonin has multiple actions at the cellular level as a powerful anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and for mitochondrial function among other actions.
Learn how to treat Shift Work Disorder, Jet Lag, and Daylight Saving Time with evidence-based protocols using precisely timed melatonin at specific doses. Adjunct therapies include light exposure and sleep scheduling. With these protocols patients will sleep better, and minimize the associated symptoms. These strategies are important for every clinician, as circadian melatonin disruption is associated with chronic disease.

The Hair Elements test measures levels of toxic elements and nutritional elements. This test is an ideal, non-invasive starting point for those interested in understanding the status of toxins and essential minerals in the body.
Data about the body's overall toxic burden is a valuable tool that offers additional insight for a variety of health concerns. This webinar reviews how the Hair Elements test can help guide decisions on supplementation, mineral support, and follow-up testing, to help achieve individual health goals.
