FEATURED SPEAKER | The Science and Clinical Application of CBD for Chiropractors

Jen Palmer, ND and Carly Hudson, DC will be discussing the science of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) and clinical protocols for chiropractors using topical CBD. The ECS is comprised of receptors throughout the body and promotes homeostasis by regulating neurotransmitters, inflammation, pain signals, and much more. Common daily factors can impede ECS function and lead to chronic illness. Dr. Hudson will be sharing case studies that incorporate topical CBD combined with OTC ingredients into treatment protocols for various conditions. She’ll also share tips on how to direct patients to use topical CBD between office visits for best outcomes. www.CBDClinic.co

Removing Friction in your Practice

Understanding yourself, your purpose and your goals are the keys to removing the FRICTION stopping you from achieving successful outcomes in your practice and personal life.

That’s right FRICTION — the unnecessary barriers that we put up that make the direction we want to go in much tougher than it has to be.

The problem is, that most of us, if not all of us, don’t recognize those barriers, and worse, when we do, we create even more friction when we try to remove them.

A bigger problem is that most of us not only create friction for ourselves but we also create friction in our practices and for our patients. How do you know if you are creating friction in your practice? Just ask yourself if your practice is where you want it to be. If it isn’t it’s always friction.

If you understand your patients and their pain points the first thing you would do is remove the friction from your office.

As Jeff Bezos, Founder and CEO of Amazon, says, “When you reduce friction, make something easy, people do more of it.”

The key to practice success is to work with experts who can help you see the friction in your practice even when you can’t see it yourself and then can help you eliminate that friction.

Insane for The Membrane: Pure Form Omega and Optimal Cellular Health

The performance of our cells is dependent on a functioning membrane. All critical cellular reactions occur on the membrane, from the mitochondrial membrane to the cell nucleus membrane to the membrane of the cell itself. All receptors depend on a healthy cell membrane for optimal function. There cannot be cellular health without membrane health, “Life starts in the membrane”! At Pure Life Science, we believe that Pure Form Omega is insanely good for the membrane!

During this presentation, you will learn:

• The membrane is critical for all receptor function
• Mitochondrial reactions all take place on the membrane
• The oxygen-carrying capacity of the cell membrane is tremendously under-appreciated in today’s scientific literature

Day 7 | Supplements & Nutraceuticals

The Underlying Pathology of Chronic Disease and Treatment Solutions

As chronic disease continues to increase, practitioners need new methods for prevention and treatment.  Understanding the underlying mechanisms involved in development of these illnesses offers long term prevention and treatment strategies. As research focuses more on pathology than symptoms of disease, the interaction between mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, inflammation, immune imbalance, and mast cell activation have been repeatedly shown to be major risk factors.  Treating these specific pathological mechanisms with targeted supplements can greatly improve patient outcomes regardless of disease diagnosis. This presentation will discuss mechanisms along with specific targeted supplement formulations.

Objectives:

1.     Understand the biologic basis underlying most chronic diseases including mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, inflammation, immune imbalance, and mast cell activation.
2.     Discuss a change in treating disease not by diagnosis but by pathology causing the symptoms
3.     Learn treatment options for decreasing the underlying pathologic mechanisms in chronic disease
