What a wonderful seminar! Last weekend's Seasonal Therapeutics Seminar was a great success. And the team really enjoyed putting together the event for everyone. Here is a recap of the seminar and some photos!

The purpose of the seminar series is to blend cutting edge science and integrative medicine together with the changes of the seasons. The Winter seminar focuses on how to optimize immunity and support a healthy mood. The primary focus during this season which is filled with influenza and other viral illnesses, is how to support the body in maintaining its resiliency. The shorter days experienced in the winter can contribute to lower vitamin D exposure and seasonal affective disorder. Its important to protect against fluctuations in mood and energy.

The winter seminar series showed us how to use evidence-based, targeted nutritional supplementation, essential oils and botanical remedies to optimize cell-mediated immune function, enhance mental clarity, maintain healthy mood and energy, and ensure restful sleep. Ways to incorporate seasonal changes to the diet to enhance resilience were covered and stress management strategies like meditation, breathe work and rest were discussed.

Light and mood and the role of vitamin D was discussed in depth, as was nutrition for optimal mood and immune support. And the practitioners broke into small teams to execute some group work.

We continue to enjoy sponsoring this event and we are excited to learn even more at the next seminar in the series: Seasonal Therapeutics: Spring - The Season of Renewal. The seminar will be held on February 23 in Boston and will focus on Purification and Allergies! Register now, because space is limited!

The food and scenery has been fantastic at these events so far! Please enjoy some photos from the day!

The Seasonal Therapeutics seminar this weekend was a great success. Practitioners from around the country came together learn from Dr. Tieraona Low Dog. The purpose of the seminar series is to blend cutting edge science and integrative medicine together with the changes of the seasons. The Autumn seminar explores the relationship of the gastrointestinal, immune and neurological systems. In understanding how the GI system impacts immune and brain health, practitioners are better able to help guide patients to better health, starting at the core. Autumn is an ideal time to focus on improving gastrointestinal function in order to prime the immune system and shore up on the body's reserves. The best time to prepare for the rigors of winter isn't during winter - its now!

The morning seminar hours focused on chronobiology, speaking specifically to the connection between the autumn season and health, and the gut microbiome. Evidence-based, targeted nutritional supplementation helps to restore integrity to the gastrointestinal mucosa, enhance digestive function and repopulate the microbiome.

After the lunch break, Dr Low Dog spoke on the clinical application of pre and probiotics, the use of hepatics, demulcents and nervines, and nutritional support for phase 1 and 2 detoxification.

The seminar concluded by taking a look at stress management strategies that encourage the exploration of gratitude and encouragement. Case studies were reviewed and the participants broke out into small groups for questions and discussion.

We loved sponsoring this event and we are so excited to learn even more at the next seminar in the series: Seasonal Therapeutics: Winter! The seminar will be held on November 17th and registration is available soon but space is limited!

We hope that you enjoy these photos from the event. And we wish you a healthful autumn season!
