Overview

A comprehensive overview of evidence-based therapies for neuroinflammatory disorders – the chronic conditions involving damage to the nervous system by the body’s own immune response. Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease and depression will be presented.

This training provides insight into the role of nutritional and environmental medicine and its influence on the underlying physiological issues that contribute to neurodegeneration.

Hear the growing scientific evidence behind the treatment options, pathology testing and dietary interventions.

Course Benefits:

  • Describe the impact of inflammation on the central nervous system
  • Explain the ways in which the built environment can detrimentally affect the central nervous system
  • Recommend nutritional, lifestyle and environmental interventions to assist in the prevention of neurodegenerative disease
  • Recommend nutritional, lifestyle and environmental interventions for management of chronic inflammatory conditions
  • Identify biomarkers of neurodegeneration and evaluate at risk patients

Who is the course for?

  • Medical professionals seeking a basic understanding of Ecological/Functional Medicine principles.
  • GPs, consultants, healthcare practitioners, and medical students
  • Experienced Environmental Medicine practitioners seeking a refresher
  • Patients or caregivers with sufficient medical knowledge

What people are saying

The self-paced, online format was ideally suited to my circumstances, allowing for flexible yet focused learning. The curriculum was comprehensive, covering a wide range of topics directly relevant to my practice in environmental and functional medicine. I took detailed notes throughout the program, many of which I continue to refer to years later - testament to the enduring value of the material."
