This course will provide practitioners with dietary approaches for supporting a patient’s health. We will begin the day discussing the identification and pathophysiology of food sensitivities. You will learn the common symptoms that can be triggered by immune and non-immune mediated reactions.  Practical dietary suggestions as well as supplements that can be used in your practice to help sequester the response will be presented.   The rest of the day we will discuss the identification, dietary modifications and supplements used for common diseases. We’ll discuss strategies for common inflammatory diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and liver disease.  Participants will learn how to read a Complete Blood Count (CBC) to identify often missed sub-clinical anemia and appropriate dietary and supplement treatment.  We will also discuss how to interpret common blood tests such as thyroid panels and lipid profiles as well as dietary management if pathologies are present.  Research citations will be provided for all topics as well as discussion on certain controversial topics.
