Menstrual dysfunction and fertility impairment are typically multifactorial and have etiologies deeply rooted in diet and lifestyle as well as underlying medical conditions.As such, one of the most important aspects of caring for couples with fertility issues is a thorough investigation of contributing factors. This lecture will cover the basic causes, work-up and nutritional, botanical and lifestyle considerations to improve ovulatory function and menstrual disorders as well success rates of both natural attempts and conventional fertility treatments.
12:00- 1:00Lunch
1:00 - 2:00Environmental Hazards: Ubiquitous and Under-addressed Jason Allen ND, MPH
As NDs, we know that environmental insults contribute to ill health. Unless a patient comes in requesting "Detoxification", very few of us know what to look for, and when. Questions that will be answered include: How are my patients being affected? How can I incorporate environmental medicine into my intake? Which exposures are most concerning? Which can be prevented? Which can be reversed?Dr. Allen will present recent findings from local, national, and international studies that have investigated the body burdenof environmental pollutants stored in humans. He will discuss the association between findings in these biomonitoring studies and threats to human health, including emerging epidemics. This presentation will cover concepts of environmental medicine, specific body burden reduction strategies, emerging chemical-disease associations, and pertinent resources for clinicians.
2:00 - 3:00Multiple Sclerosis in the Pacific Northwest: Why the Increased Risk? Laurie Mischley ND
The Pacific NW has one of the highest rates of MS on the planet. Distance from the equator, weather, pollution, and diet are all being called into question as we attempt to understand the epidemiology. Treating the cause of the disease will be emphasized.
3:00 - 3:30Vendor Break
3:30 - 4:30Nutrition update- Matt Brignall ND
Dr. Brignall’s Clinical Nutrition Update will cover more than 30 of the most relevant recent research publications. Included will be new safety concerns, novel therapeutics, newsworthy events, hot debates, and a couple of old favorites. We’ll go beneath the abstracts and headlines to see how new findings should influence our practices.
