The role of mitochondria as major contributors to health and disease is being increasingly recognized.
Besides energy production, mitochondria have been implicated in various physiologic processes in relation to the specialized duties of the differentiated cell in which it resides.
These non-ATP-related functions are intimately involved with most of the major metabolic pathways used by a cell and therefore, damage to mitochondria can have widespread consequences affecting entire organ systems.
Mitochondrial dysfunction results in symptoms that are common complaints in almost every chronic disease, underlining the importance of supporting healthy mitochondrial function.
This comprehensive seminar series will enhance your understanding of the role of mitochondria in a host of conditions and provide clinically relevant information and treatment guidelines.

In Australia over 2 million people suffer from osteoarthritis (OA), with two thirds comprising of women. The increased prevalence and severity of post-industrial OA suggests a more progressive complex condition and causation than previously thought. If we as practitioners are to offer sufferers of OA optimal support, we need to continually review current knowledge and how natural medicine approaches fit in.
In this webinar Berris will discuss and interpret some interesting current theory and recent research, which will improve your knowledge and ensure more effective clinical outcomes for your patients. The presentation will review:

Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) is a chronic multisystem polymorbidity with a prevalence as high as 5% to 10%, yet this condition is under-recognised and poorly understood. Patients with MCAS can have a seemingly endless list of triggers and can also experience symptoms of allergy, chronic pain, neuropsychiatric conditions, fibromyalgia and irritable bowel syndrome, amongst others. By the time patients are diagnosed with MCAS, most have been through extensive testing often revealing normal results, and have been provided with multiple explanations for their multi-symptom presentation, causing isolation and emotional burden.

The gallbladder is commonly called “the great deceiver’’
Discover how this organ, once compromised, becomes a central cause in the development of many modern chronic diseases, from SIBO to Pyrrole Disorders. Learn how to connect the dots between this organ and its impact on many other systems. Obtain new clinical insights and treatment strategies to optimise patient outcomes.
We all face those “popular conditions’’ that we feel we have effective protocols for treatment, however as time passes we realise the patient is not progressing as we would expect. Uncover the underlying “basics” needed to effectively treat multifactorial chronic conditions. The liver, gallbladder and bile ducts form a complex, intricate network so it is little wonder the Hepatobiliary system plays a significant role in chronic diseases. Discover the complexities of gallbladder function and optimal digestion and how they impact SIBO Pyrrole Disorder, methylation, immune regulation and mitochondrial dysregulation, just to name a few.
Join Elizma Lambert in connecting the dots as she navigates the complexities of the Hepatobiliary system, addressing primary triggers, secondary effects and complex conditions. Harness targeted support for your patients and improve your clinical outcomes. Elizma graduated as a qualified Naturopath and Homeopath in 2002. Since then, she has completed extensive post graduate education in nutrigenomics, gastrointestinal health, adrenal health and autoimmune diseases. She is a key presenter worldwide, speaking at several national and international conferences and is a regular guest on renowned wellness podcasts. Further areas of expertise include organic acid testing and interpretations which has led to her involvement in several large projects. Specific areas of interest include mitochondrial dysfunction, nutrigenomics and complex multifactorial conditions. Other passions include treating auto-immunity, digestive disorders, Autism, mental health, Metabolic Syndrome, Fatty Liver Disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, Lyme Disease, Mould Biotoxin Illness, thyroid and hormone abnormalities. Elizma brings a unique perspective and understanding when dealing with the complexities of chronic health conditions. She helps practitioners connect the intricate dots to effectively treat the underlying cause.

This seminar focuses on clinical management of Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD/GERD) and Non-erosive reflux disease (NERD). Approximately 11.6 % of the Australian population suffer diagnosed reflux conditions. This does not include the undiagnosed in our communities. Gastro-oesophageal diseases are on the rise driven by poor food choices, stress and certain medications.
Use of both prescription and OTC medications to manage the symptoms of GORD, reflux and heartburn are at epidemic proportions with more than 15 million annual prescriptions of the proton-pump inhibitors (PPI’s) esomeprazole and pantoprazole, plus additional OTC PPI use.
Resulting from both the diseases themselves and their conventional treatments, are a myriad of potential nutritional deficiencies and the possibility of more serious health risks. Recovering patient health by addressing the underlying broad mechanisms of the disease is not only essential, but alleviates the pain suffered and attenuates health risks.
Do you know how to effectively prescribe key CAM therapies to address the underlying drivers of your patient’s complex upper GIT diseases and minimise their risk of further complications? Are you confident in the concomitant prescription of CAM, dietary and lifestyle interventions alongside orthodox management to provide symptomatic relief and enhance patient outcomes?
Our speaker, Teresa Mitchell-Paterson will share vital insights of successful clinical therapy and patient cases to advance your clinical expertise in the management of upper GIT dysfunction. Dietary intervention and co-administration of CAM alongside medications will be discussed to optimise outcomes for your patient’s digestive health and overall wellbeing.
