Vascular dysfunction is prevalent and increases with age. There are implications not just for the heart, but for every organ and system. This talk highlights three interconnected upstream factors for wellness plans:
- The foundational role of the inner lining of the blood vessel health
- Why endothelial glycocalyx support and nitric oxide support are synergistic
- How to evaluate the individuals who may need vascular-focused dietary supplementation as part of their wellness plan
Expert clinician Dr DeSilva will describe the science and research behind centring vascular support in wellness plans, as well as the top 2 dietary supplements he uses and why.
Learning Objectives:

Inflammation Lunch and Learn Webinar Series 4 Parts
Inflammation is an underlying factor in many of the health concerns our patients struggle with today. From seemingly unrelated conditions such as ligament damage, long COVID, and migraine, we find that assessing and addressing their inflammation levels can often be the best approach to supporting their health goals – and is an approach clinically supported by research. In this 4-part webinar series, Dr Clark will discuss four areas that share similar treatment approaches and explain how to assess when the dysfunction is most closely associated with inflammation. Register now to learn about the latest research to support inflammatory health and disease states, including protocols, timelines and patient resources.
Dr Michelle Clark is a licensed naturopathic physician with over 20 years of clinical experience in the USA and New Zealand.

Across a woman’s lifespan there are significant times of hormonal interaction, involvement and development. In particular, puberty, the female reproductive cycle, fertility, pregnancy, peri-menopause and menopause, all require healthy thyroid hormone synthesis and metabolism. Research demonstrates that woman have a 10-fold increased risk of developing a thyroid condition, mainly in part due to these unique hormonal events throughout her lifetime.
In our upcoming Thyroid Health Masterclass, thyroid expert Tara Nelson, will take a deep dive into each of the unique stages in a woman’s life that not only require thyroid hormone adequacy but are key times for thyroid conditions to develop:
- Puberty and the Reproductive Years
- Fertility and Pregnancy
- Perimenopause and Menopause
Knowing the risk factors, symptomatic picture and pathology, can help clinicians be on the forefront for identification of thyroid conditions in each stage and be adept in preventing and treating these disorders.
Our experienced presenters bring with them a wealth of clinical knowledge and prescribing experience: Tara Nelson and Di Strang.
Puberty and the Reproductive Years During puberty, changes in thyroid functions and an increase in thyroid volume occur as an adaptation to body and sexual development. Thyroid problems during this stage can adversely affect growth and development during puberty, a crucial period of hormonal interaction, and is often overlooked. The thyroid is at the centre of all hormone communication between the brain, adrenal gland and the ovaries. When this communication is damaged, the interaction between sex hormones, stress hormones, brain neurotransmitters and energy metabolism falls apart. Symptoms that seem related to problems with estrogen and progesterone, are often caused by thyroid hormone imbalance.
Key learning outcomes:
- Understand how hormonal changes can impact thyroid function and hormone regulation.
- Identify risk factors and symptoms in tweens and teens to rule out or confirm a thyroid dysfunction diagnosis, and how to support this sub-set.
- Understand how symptoms of thyroid dysfunction overlap with normal pubertal changes, making diagnosis and management challenging.
- Learn how female sex hormones are influenced by both hypo- and hyperthyroidism.
- Identify common hormonal presentations and dysregulations that can occur in thyroid dysfunction.
- Understand the association between autoimmune thyroid disorders and infertility, including impacts on ovarian function and fertility outcomes.
- Learn strategies to optimize thyroid function for improved fertility outcomes.

Join us for another incredible webinar with Dr Denise Furness!: In this 60 minute webinar plus 15 minutes Q&A, Dr Denise Furness explored the nutrigenomic factors that impact mental fitness and wellbeing. Mood and mental health disorders are multifactorial, including genetic and environmental factors. Several common genetic variations (single nucleotide polymorphisms) are shared across neurological conditions, including APOE, BDNF, COMT, TNFa and GABRA2. Furthermore, studies have identified that environmental exposures also contribute to mental health, and these exposures interact with genetic factors, resulting in gene-environment interactions.
The webinar will explore the links between gene-environment interactions with mental health and provide a case study. The case study will focus on clear communication of DNA results to ensure patients understand the action steps required to compensate for inherited genetic risk factors and feel at ease with their results.
Learning Outcomes
- To identify key genes associated with mood, mental well-being and neurological health.
- Learn to navigate and communicate results from DNA testing and key biomarkers to ensure patients feel empowered and at ease with their results.
- Review treatment options supporting fundamental genes and metabolic pathways associated with mental well-being.
