2018 Trends in Nutrition, Pain Management, and Mind-Body Therapies

Restoring patient wellness. Building physician practices.

Do Your Patients Need Powerful Thyroid Support? Do your patients struggle with low body temperature and inefficient metabolism? Thyroid Px is the answer when your patients need extra thyroid support. Providing a dose of 12 mg iodine per serving, plus additional nutrients and herbs, Thyroid Px effectively supports essential T4- T3 conversion. This formula can help stabilize thyroid peroxidase immunoglobulins which are essential for normal thyroid activity. The powerful antioxidants selenium and zinc, as well as guggul, help neutralize free radicals that affect iodothryonine-5-monodeiodinase enzyme activity, which is involved in the conversion of T4 to the active T3 hormone.

Benefits of Thyroid Px:• Supports Metabolism• Promotes T4-T3 Conversion• Stabilizes Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies• Optimizes Body Temperature• High Dose of Iodine as Potassium Iodide

Welcome to Burlington! We are proud to be hosting the annual conference in AARM’s beautiful home state of Vermont this year. Our conference theme, 2018 Trends

in Nutrition, Pain Management, and Mind- Body Therapies intends to reach a wide range of interests and modalities within Restorative Medicine. I am grateful for the contributions from our excellent faculty this year, who represent a diverse mix of MDs, DOs, NDs, and herbalists, from both the US and Canada.

One of our goals for 2018 is to further enhance the fun and positive energy generated by our annual conference! I hope you’ll join our kava party on Saturday night, with live music, a cash bar, and dancing with the afro-funk band Sabouyouma. On Thursday, legendary herbalist Rosemary Gladstar is hosting a full day of herb farm tours, and shorter herb walks are being offered on Friday. For the foodies among us, there are a lot of exciting and delicious restaurants and pubs within walking distance of the hotel in downtown Burlington. For the conference lunches and breaks, healthy local organic foods from Vermont will be featured.

We’re also going greener and more high-tech this year by offering a conference management app to use on your phone or tablet. Everything you need to know about the conference is now available in one convenient location. The app allows you to pre-plan which lectures you want to attend. The conference evaluation can be completed on the app, which helps us reduce paper waste and allows us to generate your CME certificates more efficiently. For more information on the conference app, see page 7 of this booklet.

Another green initiative is credited to Restorative Formulations, the platinum sponsor for the conference. Aware of the carbon dioxide emissions created by holding a conference of this size (through travel, hotels and food production), they contributed approximately $4000 to COTAP.org — Carbon Offsets To Alleviate Poverty. This money goes towards projects in India, Africa and Nicaragua to offset carbon emissions, by

planting fruit trees, supporting farmers, and protecting forests. The conference also makes a donation to a local charity as

part of a thank you gift to the speakers rather than presenting material gifts. This year, we contributed to the Vermont Food Bank, which distributes millions of pounds of food to Vermonters in need.

The Restorative Medicine Conference continues to prioritize diversity and inclusion. My wish is that this fun and friendly gathering will help you better serve your patients, as well as help you grow your practice. I hope to see you next year in sunny San Diego, CA on September 12- 15, 2019!

In Health,

Michaël Friedman, NDAARM Executive Director

Welcome to the 16th Annual International Restorative Medicine Conference!

This conference is dedicated to my cousins, Drew and

Meredith, and to those who lost their battle with opioid

addiction much too soon in their lives. I strongly believe that

integrative medicine has the greatest potential to help solve

the opioid crisis by offering effective alternatives to pain

management.

My hope is that this conference also serves to increase

clinicians’ awareness of patients who are at risk of addiction,

and to guide them to the assistance that they need. Thank

you to all of you who are carrying out this important mission.

With peace and gratitude,

Jen Palmer, ND

AARM Communications and Education Director

The Association for the Advancement of Restorative Medicine (AARM) is a non-profit medical association which supports cross-disciplinary learning and

collaboration in the use of herbal, nutritional, and hormone medicines. AARM’s focus is on providing medical education about endocrine system disorders, with an emphasis on therapeutic approaches for treating hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, adrenal dysfunction, and dysglycemia, as well as male and female hormonal imbalances. We also provide protocols and scientific information to physicians for using Restorative Medicine to treat chronic diseases, including digestive, respiratory, nervous, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and autoimmune diseases.

AARM’s education for healthcare professionals occurs through several channels. Each year, hundreds of physicians and other healthcare providers attend our conferences in the U.S. and Canada. Recordings of conference lectures are available on our website for those who prefer to learn remotely. AARM also publishes the peer-reviewed Journal of Restorative Medicine (JRM). Continuing medical education credits are available for many of our educational products.

AARM certifies health care practitioners in specific Restorative Medicine therapies. For example, providers who attend the T3 certification courses at our conferences can take an online exam and become certified in T3 therapy. By providing education from leading experts, clinical research, and cutting-edge protocols, AARM is empowering physicians to more effectively treat their patients and build their practices through the use of herbal, nutritional, and natural hormone medicines.

A one-year membership in AARM is only $49 and includes:• Five CME credits for reading Journal of Restorative

Medicine articles. Only AARM members are eligible to receive these online credits (members must pass quizzes to receive credits).

• 20% discount on all AARM conference registrations and educational resources, such as conference recordings and books

About AARM

Certification in T3 Therapy is an elective option for AARM members and is an excellent means to help your patients and build your practice. Medical providers can obtain Certification

in T3 Therapy by attending required classes scheduled during the preconference day for the Annual International Restorative Medicine Conference.

This full day of seminars provides:• Speakers who are experienced clinicians and experts in thyroid

physiology• Evidence-based review of low body temperature and

associated symptoms• Treatment protocols for optimizing thyroid health and body

temperatures• Protocols for Triiodothyronine (T3), botanicals, and nutritional

medicines to support the thyroid system• Written exam to earn certification at the end of the day

Certification in T3 Therapy verifies that practitioners have completed the training and have passed an examination. Once certified, practitioners who are AARM members will be listed on a practitioner search tool. This opportunity allows practitioners to share contact information, clinic description, and website links to potential patients to help build their practice.

Certification in T3 Therapy: Optimizing Body Temperature and Thyroid Function

with Hormones, Botanicals and Nutrition

The certification program, Optimizing Body Temperature and Thyroid Function with Hormones, Botanicals and Nutrition, features pioneering experts in managing thyroid disease and fatigue, led by Denis Wilson, MD and Michael Friedman, ND. The non-CME course (“Dosing of Triiodothyronine T3”) is classified as such because Dr. Wilson discusses off-label usage of drugs that are not conventionally approved by the medical establishment. It is approved for CE credit for NDs.

Certification RequirementsTo qualify for Certification in T3 Therapy you must meet the

following requirements:• Attend required lectures at the Restorative Medicine

conference. • Complete and pass the examination immediately after the

course (recommended) or online within 4 weeks after the con-ference (email [email protected] for online access).

• Maintain certification by keeping current with updated lectures at certification day intensives at a conference at least once every three years.

Medical providers who pass the exam and meet all of the requirements above will be emailed a certificate.

She will review the actions, contraindications and dosing for many of the herbs found on the farms, including nettle, rosemary, ashwagandha, blue flag, goldenseal and lavender.

Goals and Objectives: 1. Understand the herb category adaptogen, and what type of

plants are included. 2. Understand the herb category nervines, and what type of

plants are included. 3. Understand the herb category alteratives, and what type of

plants are included. 4. Review the actions and safety of various herbs which are avail-

able to view on the farm tours. 5. Share herbal formula recipes.

T3 Certification Track9:00-10:00 a.m. The Role of Phytosterols in Regulating Hormones1 CME/1 CEJillian Stansbury, NDPhytosterols are present in a wide variety of botanical medicines and plant foods. These chemical compounds are similar to steroidal hormones found naturally in humans. There are proven benefits to using plant-sourced sterols to balance women’s hormones, particularly in menopause, breast cancer and PCOS. This presentation will review the science that has expanded our understanding about various phytosterols and the best possible clinical applications.

Goals and Objectives:1. Review the research that elucidates the biochemical actions of

phytosterols2. Review plants that contain isoflavones, coumestans, genistein,

steroidal saponins and other phytosterols. 3. Gain an understanding of how phytoestrogens can balance

hormones and respond appropriately to deficiencies or excesses.

4. Understand how phytosterols interact with hormone receptors.

5. Review the research on phytoestrogen safety and cancer risk.

10:30 a.m.- 12:30 p.m. Sub Laboratory Hypothyroidism 2 CME/2 CE- 1 Pharmacology CEDenis Wilson, MDRecent research has demonstrated that much more regulation of the thyroid system occurs in the periphery than previously thought. The hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis is responsible for maintaining an appropriate level of thyroid hormones that the cells can use to provide for normal metabolism. Just as vital, recent research has uncovered thyroid signaling pathways that regulate the thyroid system on a cellular level. The ubiquitin proteasome system controls the level of deiodinase enzyme, thereby determining T4 to T3 conversion. All this crucial intracellular activity is not measured by thyroid blood tests. This might explain why some people have low body temperatures and symptoms of low thyroid function that may warrant the empirical use of T3.

Presentation Goals and Objectives:1. Describe the physiology of thyroid hormone pathways and

body temperature 2. Name 3 intracellular signaling pathways that direct the conver-

sion of T4 to T3 3. Understand the intracellular physiology of thyroid hormones 4. Explain when and why or why not T3 might be desirable as an

empirical treatment 5. Understand the risks of T3 and the safety concerns of the

American Thyroid Association regarding the use of T3

2:00-3:00 p.m. Botanical Medicines for Thyroid Disease1 CME/ 1 CEJillian Stansbury, NDThis session will present current research on botanical medicines aimed at regulating thyroid function. Agents that improve hypothyroid function by increasing iodine uptake and synthesize thyroid hormones will be reviewed, along with agents known to block excessive stimulation of the thyroid in cases of excessive TSH production, or thyroid auto-antibodies. Nutritional and botanical evidence- based protocols for a variety of common thyroid conditions seen in clinical practice will be shared. This presentation will review the signs and symptoms of adrenal disorders and identify HPA axis dysfunction. Synergism between the adrenal and the thyroid gland, and the “cross talk” between all the endocrine organs will be addressed as an important aspect of treating thyroid diseases.

Presentation Descriptions

6. Understand evidence-based management of these conditions

3:00-4:00 p.m.Dosing of Triiodothyronine T30 CME/ 1 CE- 1 Pharmacology CEDenis Wilson, MDA simple protocol for the empirical use of T3 in patients with low body temperatures and normal thyroid blood tests will be presented. Crucial principles of dosing and management that are specific to T3 therapy will be discussed, focusing on maximizing the benefit while minimizing the risk of T3 therapy. Doctors will learn how cycling patients on and off T3 can often reset the body temperature so that the temperature and symptoms often remained improved off medicine. This “resetting phenomenon” is a hallmark of T3 therapy for Wilson’s Syndrome. Transitioning patients from T4-containing medicine to T3 will also be discussed.

Goals and Objectives:1. Understand the wide range of medical conditions that can be

affected by body temperature and T3 2. Understand the intracellular physiology of thyroid hormones 3. Explain when and why T3 might be desirable as an empirical

treatment 4. Understand the risks of T3 and the concerns of the American

Thyroid Association regarding the use of T3

4:30- 5:30 p.m.Men’s Health1 CME/1 CEEugene Zampieron, NDThis presentation will explore several facets of men’s health, including natural options to increase testosterone levels, herbs and nutrients for prostate health, and supporting libido in aging men.

Pain Management Track9:00-10:00 a.m. MD and ND Collaboration: Integrative Medical Strategies for Chronic Pain 1 CME/ 1CE .5 PharmacologyLeigh Arseneau, ND One of the top ten reasons patients see a physician is for chronic pain, yet it is one of the most challenging conditions to overcome. It’s important that physicians offer alternatives to opioids that can effectively manage pain. This is an opportunity for naturopathic and medical doctors to work together to identify the true source of pain and create a protocol which blends both modalities. Dr. Arseneau will provide a template for reviewing and assessing systems to identify the underlying sources of chronic pain. He will present an example of an integrative model and how patients flow through a ND- MD workup to assess neuropathic and inflammatory pain. He will share an evidence- based review of how they assess, collaborate, decide on treatment order and incorporate drugs with natural products. He will identify the baseline tests and specialized labs to conduct, including genomics. He will present treatment protocols for effective, evidence-based novel natural therapeutics.

Goals and Objectives: 1. Learn how to incorporate an effective multi-discliplinary (ND-

MD) model for complex, chronic pain patients 2. Overview of a robust system’s biology approach and

assessment 3. Evaluation and assessment of standard and specialized

laboratory tests to include in chronic pain based on research4. Evidence based review of novel and effective natural products

11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. & 2:00-3:00 p.m. Meditation and Neuroplasticity (part 1) and Medi-tation, Trauma and Pain (part 2) 2 CME/2 CESara Lazar PhDMindfulness meditation has been gaining popularity over the past few decades, and now commonly appears in corporate settings and other mainstream venues. Despite increasing understanding and acceptance, it is sometimes the subject of misinformation, misplaced expectations, and occasional disappointment. Fortunately, research is helping scientists better understand how mindfulness works, and what to expect from practicing mindful meditation. In this engaging presentation, Dr. Lazar will share her firsthand research experience on the topic, and present evidence- based information about how mindfulness meditation can impact brain structure and function. The focus of part one will be on the use of mindfulness for treating anxiety and depression specifically. In part two, Dr. Lazar will discuss the use of mindfulness techniques to address chronic pain. She will demonstrate several neuroimaging studies that have begun to elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying the effects. The data presented will clearly show that meditation uses very different neural pathways as compared to placebo, distraction, and cognitive restructuring. Attendees will enjoy a short experiential guided meditation session to better understand how to apply the concepts in clinical practice.

Goals and Objectives:1. Describe brain activity during mindfulness meditation 2. Identify brain regions that exhibit long lasting changes in brain

structure following mindfulness training3. Describe neural mechanisms associated with mindfulness

mediated anxiety reduction4. Describe neural mechanisms associated with mindfulness

mediated reductions in depressive symptoms5. Discuss how mindfulness by the clinician can impact clinical

outcome.6. Identify brain activity during mindful awareness of painful

stimuli7. Differentiate mindfulness from other forms of behavioral pain

management neurobiologically and behaviorally8. Describe ways in which mindfulness can be used in clinical

settings to help treat pain

3:00-4:00 p.m.Fibroblasts as Novel Therapeutic Targets in Chronic Inflammation 1 CME/1 CEJorge Flechas, MDFibroblasts are part of the family of connective tissue cells, a group of cells which are important to repair every tissue and organ in the body. Fibroblasts are essential for life; they are a source for growth factors, but when overactive, can trigger inflammation and pain in many conditions. Excessive fibroblast activity can trigger angiogenesis, and is linked to increased risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) and liver cirrhosis. Dr. Flechas will present natural ingredients which can help moderate fibroblast activity and reduce pain and inflammation.

Goals and Objectives: 1. Review the research identifying fibroblasts as a source of

inflammation and pain2. Examine how fibroblasts secrete growth factors, which when

reacting with other cells can convert them to cancerous cells.3. Identify conditions related to excess fibroblast activity, such as

fatty liver disease, fibrocystic breasts, fibromylagia and prosta-titis.

4. Review research indicating that overactive fibroblasts stimu-late angiogenesis and ultimately cancer.

5. Review research on natural ingredients related to reducing fibroblast activity, thus inflammation.

4:30- 5:30 p.m. Boron and Inflammation 1 CME/1 CEJorge Flechas, MDBoron is a metalloid element with similar properties to silicon. It is best known for its role in bone health because of its effects on steroid hormones. It is essential for human function, as it is crucial for enzyme regulation, plant growth and cell wall synthesis. There is evidence that dietary boron helps control normal inflammation, and suppresses signals which downregulate enzyme activities. This presentation will review the research exploring the role of boron in reducing inflammation and its clinical applications.

Goals and Objectives: 1. Review the physiology of boron as an enzymatic co-factor 2. Establish that boron is an essential nutrient3. Review research indicating that boron plays an important role

in regulating inflammation4. Review the role of boron in wound healing

12:45- 1:30 p.m.Lunch sponsored by Microbiome Labs A Clinical Update on Vitamin K20 CME/ CE Kiran KrishnanVitamin K2, the most recently recognized vitamin in the Western world is now achieving recognition as an omnipotent nutrient that exerts control and function in virtually every tissue type in our body, including the digestive tract. Dozens of large scale studies have clearly illustrated its role in bone health, heart health via calcification, cancer and diabetes. It acts as an “activator” or carboxylating agent to activate key vitamin K dependent proteins. Considering that the western population is sub-clinically deficient in vitamin K2, what impact is this having on our health? Additionally, we will discuss new discoveries in the function of vitamin K2 in the body by going beyond its well-known roles as a carboxylating vitamin in bone health and heart health. These new discoveries will further illustrate the dangers we face in the Western world- a population that is sub-clinically deficient in vitamin K2.

2:00-3:00 p.m. Think Hormones First: From Birth Trauma to Anti-Aging, A Lifetime of Hormone Balance 0 CME/ 1 CE 1 Pharmacology CECarol Petersen, RPhWe have, at long last, started to recognize that we can evaluate and support faltering hormone production as we age. However, diminished hormone production or disruption can occur throughout the lifetime. We haven’t found the underlying causes because we haven’t looked. Considering and evaluating hormone deficiencies and excesses should be as standard as performing blood chemistries, differentials, and lipids. This presentation is intended to explain the benefits of routine hormone evaluation, and offer insights for hormone interventions that may prevent years of patient suffering.Participants should be able to:

• Identify which hormone deficiencies cause pain.• Understand why patients should be evaluated for hormone

imbalances before being referred to psychiatry.• Understand why prolonged HPA axis damage occurs with

traumatic brain injury at any age.• Identify when hormone imbalances precipitate cognition loss

leading to dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.• Understand that addressing hormone deficiencies may be a

key component in autoimmune disease recovery.

3:00-4:00 p.m.Pain Management Secrets: Botanical Medicine Protocols for Pain and Inflammation 1 CME/1 CE .5 PharmacologyEugene Zampieron, NDWhether it’s the elite athlete who tears their ACL, the weekend warrior with delayed onset muscle soreness, or the senior with osteoarthritis — injury and pain are part of life. For the majority of consumers, OTC and prescription NSAIDS, topical menthol preparations (which merely mask the pain), lidocaine patches, diclofenac sodium, tramadol and opioids are used with reckless abandon and have potential for serious side effects, interactions, nutrient deficiencies, and worse — addiction. Dr. Zampieron knows firsthand about the challenges of managing pain and based on his personal experiences, he has created natural pain protocols for himself and his patients to help avoid the typical ‘pharma-pitfalls.’ Dr. Zampieron will discuss how to categorize pain and injury into distinct classes so the practitioner can best choose a herbal protocol for the patient. After discussing individual herbs and their chemistry, he will delve into formulas for herbal ice, botanical pain patches, liniments, and effective but forgotten pain formulas developed by the Eclectic physicians in the 1800s (when opioids were indicated but could not be tolerated by the patient). He will review effective nutraceuticals studied at major universities to deal effectively with pain, trauma, and injury. Dr. Zampieron will provide step-by-step protocol handouts for clinicians, and use his personal stories as case

studies for treating pain without pharmaceuticals.

Goals and Objectives: 1. Recall and discuss phytopharmacognosy, pharmacology,

posology, and summarize research studies supporting the use of key botanicals, used to manage pain, trauma, and injury

2.Develop a non-pharmacologic individual treatment plan for a patient with rheumatological pain and disability, such as osteoarthritis of the knee.

3. Identify and categorize the types of pain syndromes.4. Review research on individual herbs and nutrients for reducing

inflammation and pain. 5. Discern which conditions may need to be co-managed with

natural therapies and pharmacological medications.

4:45-5:45 p.m.Berberine and Curcumin: Herbal Superstars 1 CME/1 CEJillian Stansbury, NDHeart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes are all leading causes of death in the United States. Combined, these conditions kill over 1.25 million Americans annually. Berberine and curcumin are two botanical medicine extracts which have shown promise to be beneficial based on published clinical research. These alkaloid based botanicals are among the most researched herbs with the most extensive historical use. This presentation will review the clinical applications of these promising herbs, including the potential drug interactions, contraindications, dosage and safety issues that physicians need to be aware of.

Goals and Objectives: 1. Review the research supporting the chemopreventative effects

of curcumin and berberine. 2. Review the research on the cardiovascular supporting actions

of berberine and curcumin. 3. Review research on the neuroprotective effects of berberine

and curcumin. 4. Review the research evaluating berberine and curcumin bio-

availability, and which methods successfully improve it. 5. Inform practitioners of potential drug interactions, contraindi-

cations, dosage and safety issues for curcumin and berberine extracts.

4:45-5:45 p.m. The Underlying Pathology of Chronic Disease 0 CME/ 1 CEDebby Hamilton, MD, MPH As chronic disease rates continue to soar, practitioners need new methods for helping patients. Targeting symptoms can work for short-term issues but not in long standing illness. Understanding the underlying mechanisms involved in disease development offers long term prevention and treatment strategies. As research focuses more on pathology than symptoms of disease, the interaction between

26

mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and inflammation has been repeatedly shown to be a major factor. Luckily integrative medicine offers treatments able to support mitochondrial function, combat oxidative stress and inflammation, along with improving antioxidant status in the body.

Objectives:1. Discuss the increase in rates of chronic diseases in adults and

children2. Describe the biologic basis underlying most chronic diseases

including mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, inflam-mation, and antioxidant depletion

3. Discuss a change in treating disease not by diagnosis but by pathology causing the symptoms

4. Review research studies on the connection between these pathologic mechanisms and chronic diseases including persistent infections, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alz-heimer’s and autism, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic disease among others

5. Learn treatment options for decreasing the underlying patho-logic mechanisms in chronic disease

It also comprises 20 to 50 percent of patients seen in primary care. A comprehensive pain evaluation is essential to developing an effective treatment plan. Those individuals with complicated pain pictures, particularly those who are heavily medicated, need a strong, integrated team to improve outcomes and quality of life.

Goals and Objectives: 1. Understand the different types of pain, along with common

causes.2. Treatment options for chronic pain generally fall into six major

categories: pharmacologic, physical medicine, behavioral medicine, neuromodulation, interventional, and surgical approaches

3. Optimal patient outcomes often result from multiple ap-proaches utilized in concert, coordinated via a multidisci-plinary team.

4. Discuss most common evidence-based pharmacological and non-pharmacological options to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.

9:30- 10:30 a.m.Mold and Mycotoxins: The Neglected Disease 1 CME/ 1 CEAndrew Campbell, MDThis evidence-based lecture reviews the health consequences of mold exposure and sources of mycotoxins.

11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. Everyday Clinical Application of Telomere and Aging Support 1 CME/1 CEFred Pescatore, MD, MPH, CCN This presentation will review the biochemistry of methylation, as well as mitochondrial actions and the functions of telomeres. Dr. Pescatore will explain how the process of aging is accelerated when these three actions are disrupted. He will provide a review of a specific form of folic acid which helps overcome methylation flaws, and the supporting nutrients required to maintain an effective methylation cycle and how that interacts with telomere activity. He’ll explain the factors which can impact mitochondrial functionality and steps for prevention. By supporting nutrition and diet, a three pronged approach can help slow the aging process.

Goals and Objectives: 1. Review the function of mitochondria. 2. Examine the role of telomeres and DNA protection, and

provide research which demonstrates how lack of telomerase activity can shorten DNA strands.

3. Review the nutrients utilized in the methylation cycle. 4. Provide research which identifies the optimal forms of nutri-

ents to support methylation. 5. Examine the role of telomeres in the aging process.

1:30- 2:30 p.m.Adaptogens and Tonic Herbs 1 CME/ 1 CERosemary GladstarRosemary will discuss herbs used around the world that have earned a reputation for improving and maintaining energy, vitality, and health. She will review the clinical and animal research that supports the long history of use for these herbs and identifies their mechanism of action. The adaptogenic/tonic herbs are also the foundation of many health protocols for both acute and chronic disorders. Special considerations concerning those in their aging years will be addressed, including herbs for improving eyesight, digestion, bone health, and sexual wellbeing. Rosemary will share extraction methods, dosing and recipes for longevity and wellbeing.Goals and Objectives:

1. Review ten adaptogenic and tonic herbs- presenting clinical uses and supporting research.

2. Review the mechanisms of action for adaptogenic herbs based on scientific support.

3. Review the traditional and modern clinical applications of adaptogens and tonics in botanical medicine.

4. Understanding the differences and similarity between tonic botanicals and adaptogens.

5. Applications for adaptogens and tonics as food and medicine, including recipes and botanical formulas.

2:30- 3:30 p.m. Opiate Addiction: Pathophysiology and Herbal Interventions 1 CME/1 CE .5 PharmacologyJillian Stansbury, NDThere are at least 4 million opiate addicts in the US alone and at least 1.5 million Americans undergo treatment for heroin addiction annually. The success rate for treatment is just 2- 5%, and as a result, there are approximately 30-40,000 opiate- associated deaths per year in the US. The CDC reports that opiate sales, hospital admissions, and opiate overdose deaths have tripled in the last 30 years and now exceed motor vehicle deaths per year. Opiate drugs bind opiate receptors and activate the “reward” sensation, and unfortunately, can become top priority. As tolerance develops, the addict increases dosages and changes to increasingly dangerous forms of opioid drugs such as heroin and fentanyl. To effectively help the recovering addict, it’s critical to address the underlying pathologies which led to the addiction. By supporting endogenous neurotransmitters, blocking opiate receptors, and supporting adrenal function, it is possible to help reduce some of the symptoms experienced during withdrawal.

Goals and Objectives: 1. Review the pathophysiology of opiate addiction. 2. Understand the mechanisms of the opiate system.3. Review the evidence based use of botanical medicine to lessen

the symptoms of opioid withdrawal.4. Review the botanical extracts which bind to opiate receptors. 5. Review the preparatory steps to take when helping an addict

transition.

4:15- 5:15 p.m.2018 Nutrition Updates: What’s Real, What’s Dubious? Part 2Alan R. Gaby, MD (see description from Friday, 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.)

Sunday September 30, 2018

8:00-10:00 a.m. Ketones as an Alternative Fuel for the Brain: Medium Chain Triglycerides and Ketogenic Diets 2 CME/2 CE Mary Newport, MDKetones are an alternative fuel to glucose for the brain and the brain is capable of easily switching from burning glucose to ketones during fasting, starvation, with ketogenic diets, and use of medium chain triglycerides and exogenous ketone supplements. The classic ketogenic diet began use as a successful treatment for drug resistant childhood epilepsy in the early 1920s and is still in use today for that purpose and more recently to treat other conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, other neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, and cancer. The Paleo and Mediterranean diets are technically not ketogenic diets but can easily provide the foundation for a ketogenic diet.

Alzheimer’s is a type of diabetes of the brain, but the person does not necessarily have type 1 or 2 diabetes as well. While there is decreased glucose uptake in the areas of the brain affected by Alzheimer’s, ketone uptake is normal in those same areas of the brain, therefore, a potential treatment is to provide ketones as an alternative fuel to the brain. A case report will be presented as an example of this approach, as well as series of caregiver reports. Small studies of the use of the ketogenic diet or ketogenic foods, such as MCT oil, have been reported with positive results for Alzheimer’s and larger studies are in progress.

Other strategies to increase ketone levels will be discussed including exercise, overnight and intermittent fasting, branched chain amino acids, caffeine and exogenous ketone supplements, such as ketone salts and ketone esters (will be presented generically). Differences between medium chain and longer chain triglycerides will be discussed, as well as the special properties of lauric acid. Common concerns will be addresses, such as whether this approach can be used for prevention of Alzheimer’s, whether these approaches can cause ketoacidosis and whether the high fat content of the ketogenic diet is a problem.

Goals and Objectives:1. The participant will learn the history and evolution of the idea

of ketones as an alternative fuel for the brain and other organs and application of the concept to Alzheimer’s disease, includ-ing the use of medium chain triglycerides and ketone esters to increase ketone levels.

2. The participant will learn the connections between diabetes, excessive sugar intake, and dementia.

3. The participant will learn the similarities and differences between the classic ketogenic diet originally used for epilepsy, the modifications of the ketogenic diet, the Paleo diet and Mediterranean diet.

4. The participant will learn the potential applications of the concept of ketones as alternative fuel to the brain and other organs to other conditions such as Parkinson’s, other neurode-generative diseases, diabetes and cancer.

5. The participant will learn additional strategies for increasing ketone levels, including overnight and intermittent fasting, exercise, caffeine, branched chain amino acids. And use of exogenous ketone supplements, such as ketone salts and ketone esters

6. The participant will learn the difference between ketosis and ketoacidosis.

10:30 a.m.- 12:30 p.m. Healing from Historical and Generational Trauma, Through Movement, Mindfulness and Spirituality 2 CME/2 CE Carol A. Penn, DOThe first tenet of Osteopathic Medicine is that the body is a self-regulating unit, composed of mind, body, and spirit. Persons who are living with or who have inherited historical and generational trauma often hide in their bodies hurt, humiliation, fear, and shame. This manifests itself in a myriad of physical signs and symptoms ranging from obesity, depression, headaches, anxiety or may take on addictive qualities and show up as substance abuse, alcohol abuse, perhaps binging on sex, gambling and food. These conditions may be difficult to fully resolve without understanding their origin. This presentation reviews evidence- based approaches which help create a safe place to let these deep wounds be explored and released, using modalities such as meditation, deep breathing, and movement. Research shows that by addressing the deeper underlying causes of physical symptoms, it sets the stage for transformation and healing by connecting mind, body and spirit.We will also review the United Nations 17 Goals for Sustainable Development, which includes: addressing issues of education, growth, and inequality for persons with disabilities; peace and justice; and gender equality.

Goals and Objectives:1. Utilizing a variety of techniques combining wisdom, traditions

and modern-day science, at the end of the session participants will have practical Monday morning take-aways to use imme-diately for their own self-care and to share with their patients, clients, and students.

2. Participants will better understand some of the underlying emotional causes for physical symptoms.

• 40% Turmerone Supercritical CO2 Extract – Providing a safe and superior quality extract of essential oil turmeric constituents.

Naturally lipophilic curcuminoids have been shown to be able to cross the blood-brain barrier. Turmerone constituents support healthy normal levels of monoamines for balanced emotional well-being. They also support healthy neural stem cell proliferation and offer neuroprotection.

In addition to essential turmeric oils, this formula provides added ingredients to enhance the bioavailability of active turmeric constituents. Non-GMO soy-sourced lecithin has been added to overcome absorption issues related to the lipid soluble turmeric. Black pepper fruit extract further aids the absorption and utilization of curcuminoid extracts.
