Ayurvedic Medicine and the MicrobiomePresenter: Savita Rajurkar, MD, PhD, NDOriginal Date: September 24, 2022Like most indigenous medicine traditions, there is no notion of food and medicine as separable in Ayurvedic Medicine. Dr. Rajurkar will introduce us to the basics of Ayurvedic eating and draw links to key insights which anticipate and pertain to modern interests in the microbiome.1.5 CEUs (including 1.5 general) approved by OBNM
The Wisdom of Chinese Nutritional Therapy for the Modern MicrobiomePresenter: Ellen Goldsmith, MSOM, LAcOriginal Date: September 24, 2022Chinese medicine has always understood that food and medicine are inseparable. This talk will review the unique perspective of Chinese medicine on the gut and its relationship to physical and mental health and well-being, and connect this with the modern concept of the microbiome. Chinese Medicine brings an energetic perspective to the ongoing conversation and we will review this in relationship to understanding gut health.1.5 CEUs (including 1.5 general) approvedby OBNM
Microbiome, Nutrition, Metabolites and the Immune SystemPresenter: Heather Zwickey, PhDOriginal Date: September 24, 2022Nutrition, medications, social interaction and other environmental factors shape the microbiome. As the microbiome responds to the environment, it produces metabolites that interact with many body systems, including the immune system. Exploring pathways by which each of these environmental factors impacts immunity allows us to take control of our health. This seminar will examine different ways to manipulate the microbiome to bring the immune system into balance as we reconnect with each other. Whether through specific oligosaccharides, polyphenols, probiotics, postbiotics, or simply sampling other people’s microbiomes, there are several options to consider for preventing immune-related illness.1.5 CEUs (including 1.5 general) approved by OBNM
Integrating Microbiome Science into Precision Clinical NutritionPresenter: Andrea McBeth, NDOriginal Date: September 24, 2022The human microbiota is central to the way our body processes and interacts with the food we eat. The past two decades have provided a huge variety of research relating to how nutrition can uniquely impact our patients. In this presentation I will overview a brief history of microbiome science and where it is going in relation to precision medicine.1.5 CEUs (including 1.5 general) approvedby OBNM
A Review of the Microbiome and Nutrigenomics - Connections to some Chronic ConditionsPresenter: Leah Hollon, ND and Carrie Hoefer, PhDOriginal Date: September 25, 2022Dr. Hollon (ND) and Dr. Hoefer (PhD) will present on their recently published paper: The Role of the Human Gutnome on Chronic Disease A Review of the Microbiome and Nutrigenomics. The paper connects Nutrigenomics and the Microbiome. Nutrigenomics (also known as nutritional genomics) is growing field. It is broadly defined as the relationship between nutrients, diet, and gene expression. The paper (co-written also with Jennifer Campbell) connects dots of the links between nutritional interventions, pharmacological interventions, chronic conditions and genetic information drawing in the main on Dr. Hollon's work with autoimmunity issues, MTHFR mutations, fertility, naturopathic cancer support and neurological issues.1.5 CEUs (including 1.25 general and 0.25 pharmacy) approvedby OBNM
How Stress Impacts Digestion, Microbiomes, and Vice Versa: Taking Nutritional Care of Our MicrobiomesPresenter: Chelsie Falk, NDOriginal Date: September 25, 2022Stress is modern day reality which affects our bodies through a range of physical processes that impact nutrition and are impacted by nutrition. Stress also outwardly affects us through varied means including patterns of eating, growing and procuring food down to specific food choices to food preparation. Dr. Falk will take a closer look at these puzzle pieces of stress. She will move from a physical look at stress and digestion to the microbiome itself and then connect back to nutritional issues of macro and micro nature including basic food habits. Her goal will be to help situate us to help others with microbiome sustainability through addressing the relationship of stress and nutrition.1.5 CEUs (including 1.5 general) approved by OBNM
The Microbiome and Metabolic Flexibility as Connected to Ketogenic and Cleansing Nutritional StrategiesPresenter: Bonnie Nedrow, NDOriginal Date: September 25, 2022This presentation will assist in exploring the connections between the microbiome and metabolic flexibility and then consider the efficacy of nutritional therapeutics focused on ketogenic diet and cleansing.1.5 CEUs (including 1.5 general) approved by OBNM
The Microbiome and Traditional NaturopathyPresenter: Gaia Mather, NDOriginal Date: September 25, 2022This talk will connect dots between classic naturopathy and the modern focus on the microbiome. Emphasis will be given to traditional Naturopathic practices which support the long-held interests in healthy flora and overall health with a focus on nutrition as it connects to both.1.5 CEUs (including 1.5 general) approved by OBNM
