You will gain an understanding of the fundamental role played by the endocrine system in guiding the body's response to stress. Learn how this response can be modified through nutrition to reduce the likelihood of developing chronic disease, while improving the potential for optimal wellness. It is now clear that our endocrine system acts as an "antenna" that translates stress into internal signals that directly influence the ways our genes are expressed. Recent scientific advances have led to the profound realization that gene expression is modifiable. The clinician acquainted with the relationship between gene expression, the endocrine system and overall health will be able to offer patients effective nutritional therapies for the numerous manifestations of stress-induced dysfunction. Join Dr. Jeffrey Bland for an exploration into breakthrough approaches for improving adrenal, thyroid and overall endocrine health. This seminar will redefine healthy endocrine function and will offer try novel strategies for restoring and enhancing the balance of the dynamic hypothalmus-pituitary-adrenal and hypothalmus-pituitary-thyroid axes. This seminar will focus on:
1) Functional hypo and hyperthyroidism
2) Endocrine-related prostatic hypertrophy
3) Stress-induced adrenal dysfunction
4) Insulin and glucose
5) Perimenopausal imbalances
6) Menopausal irregularities
7) Healthy aging
