2-Hour Seminars

Autoimmune diseases are rising but often go undiagnosed and progress unchecked. Dr. Datis Kharrazian’s seminar will explore how nitric oxide and glutathione (GSH) affect autoimmune reactions, and how GSH recycling and nitric oxide modulation influence immune responses, TH-3 and TH-17 activity, and intestinal membrane integrity.

This informative seminar will explore how the aging process in the brain is strongly influenced by various physiological mechanisms. As the brain ages, it can either develop greater function, called “positive plasticity,” or lose neurons, resulting in degenerative disease processes. Losses of function, such as memory, visual acuity, balance, hearing, digestive motility, creativity, motivation, handwriting, etc, will be presented.

The gastrointestinal tract houses a complex immune system often misunderstood by healthcare providers. In this seminar, Dr. Datis Kharrazian will explore how mucosal immune function affects brain health, mood, metabolism, heart disease, and endocrine function, backed by recent research. He will cover secretory IgA (SIgA) immunity, diagnostic tests for mucosal immune issues, and strategies for supporting mucosal health through diet and lifestyle.

This informative seminar will examine the physiological changes that take place in the endocrine, immune, nervous, and vascular systems with both healthy exercise and overtraining syndrome. The presentation will also analyze the impacts of exercise on diabetes, dementia, autoimmunity, and depression. The immunometabolic mechanisms—such as environment, infection, and food intolerances—and the role they play in individuals who have the inability to lose weight will also be discussed.

Hormones can have a dramatic impact on our immunological tolerance to food proteins. This new 2-hour seminar, developed by Dr. Datis Kharrazian, will cover valuable perspectives to address the epidemic of food sensitivities. A review of the literature and the latest theories and concepts on how tolerance for food proteins can include a complex interplay involving the endocrine system and intestinal immune reactivity will be discussed.

There has been a more significant increase in both food allergies and food sensitivities in this generation than in any previous generation. Peanut allergies, for example, are so rampant today that many public schools have completely banned peanuts and tree nuts on campus. The question that has to be asked is why? What significant changes have occurred that led to such a diverse explosion of food intolerances? More importantly, how do we identify these food reactions and address them clinically?

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is common, affecting over 70% of people with irritable bowel syndrome and over 60% of those with celiac disease who have ongoing symptoms. It occurs when large intestine bacteria move to the small intestine, causing sensitivity to various foods and fermentation. This seminar will cover the causes and recognition of SIBO.

Perimenopause involves vast changes in the neuroendocrine-immune axis that are not limited to a drop of estrogen alone. This informative presentation will review the alterations of intercellular messengers, such as cytokines, hormones, neurotransmitters, and prostaglandins, that take place in perimenopausal women.

The influence of neuroendocrine modulators on aspects of bone density, brain function, immune function, thyroid physiology, and metabolism will be discussed. The information’s relevance to clinical laboratory analysis will also be presented.
