I will review research and clinical evidence proving worth of this most classic of ‘food as medicine’ approaches, as well as help sift through weaker research on different dietary approaches trying to be passed off as good evidence. Finally I will summarize the overlapping principles in what has been discovered, and how to use them to create an applicable approach for everyone.1.5 general CEUs approved by OBNM
Neuroprotective Nutrition: Inflammation, Food, and the Brain-Gut AxisPresenter: Heather Zwickey, PhDOriginal Date: February 11, 2018Nutrition effects nearly every aspect of neurology and immunology. The Brain-Gut, where the nervous system and immune system intersect, may be where nutrition has its largest impact. This intersection is where neuroinflammation resides, and is the root of neurological disease.This presentation discusses the immunological mechanisms involved in neuroinflammation. We outline nutritional strategies that address neuroinflammation. Sample cases from Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and traumatic brain injury will illustrate the potential for food to prevent and treat symptoms of neurological disease.1.5 general CEUs approved by OBNM- Cost: US$ 55.00

Nutritional Interventions for PCOS and Related Hormone ImbalancesPresenter: Angela Cortal, NDOriginal Date: February 11, 2018We will first dive head-first into identifying the many elements of hormone dysregulation that are characteristic of Polycystic ovary syndrome, so that we may understand how and what nutritional interventions affect hormonal health. Then we will take a close look at what foods are specifically proven to help, and what are proven to hurt- or further dysregulate the PCOS picture. Next, we will cover nutrients, herbal preparations such as teas and other augments to dietary interventions. We will end with a nutritional protocol of foods to incorporate and foods to avoid, putting together the previous evidence-based interventions. In addition to understanding what specific recommendations Dr. Cortal gives to her patients with PCOS, discussion will be devoted to the logistics of patient dietary change, i.e. behavioral change and motivational interviewing.1.5 general CEUs approved by OBNM
