Nutraceutical therapy seminar

A functional and integrative approach

Activity description

Nutraceutical therapy has been shown to contribute significantly to an individual’s overall health. Indeed, the use of nutraceuticals has been associated with positive outcomes across nearly all physiological systems, including immunology, neurology, mental health, orthopaedics, cosmetics, obstetrics, cancer and other pathologies, among much more. With advances in molecular biology and genetics, nutrient and health relations are beginning to be teased apart. Over the past few decades, an abundance of scientific data has emerged highlighting the important and essential role nutrients play in cellular and epigenetic signalling. Understanding the mechanisms of nutrient actions will allow healthcare providers to better assess nutrient deficiencies and appropriately target nutraceutical interventions.

In this live event course, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of nutrient signalling with particular emphasis on nutrient roles in methylation and epigenetic processes. Connections between methylation pathways, nutrient involvement, and the presence/absence of pathology will be made. After acquiring a foundational knowledge on nutrient molecular mechanisms, participants will assess detailed patient data, including prior medical history, familial history, differential diagnoses, lifestyle behaviours, signs and symptoms, biological assays, among much more. Participants will be encouraged to take a functional and integrative approach towards nutraceutical medicine that involves addressing the underlying cause of disease. In doing so, participants will learn about the need for customised nutraceutical therapeutics.

This program will allow pharmacists and healthcare providers with the unique opportunity to collaborate to produce patient-centred treatment regimens tailored to the individual. In attending the program, participants will leave with the confidence and knowledge required for effective and optimal nutraceutical medicine.
