Conference Schedule

To describe the molecular composition and function of caveolae and lipid droplets

To explain the mechanisms underlying cellular toxicity and its impact on health

To review current research on the roles of caveolae and lipid droplets in cellular biology

To identify how caveolae and lipid droplets support cellular detoxification, neuronal function, and overall cellular health

To apply biological substrate-based strategies to enhance cellular function and resilience

To understand how membrane dysfunction and oxidative stress reduce treatment tolerance

To review the Cell Danger Response and how persistent defensive physiology can keep patients stuck

To learn the Five Stages of Healing and a practical approach to membrane repair

To identify a patient’s current stage using readiness markers and physiologic reserve

To apply stage-based sequencing to clinical cases and decide what to treat first, defer, or reassess

To identify and interpret biomedical strategies to address cellular ‘static’ and endoplasmic and mitochondrial derangement driven by toxic insult resulting in altered gene expression, the formation of aberrant lipids and proteins which ultimately alter lipid metabolism in chronic and neurological disorders through appropriate testing and targeted lipid treatment protocols

To discover the use of pinpoint therapy using microdosing of ketamine once there is clearance of cellular debris and stabilization of the lipid membranes with oral and intravenous bioactive lipids and phospholipids

To discuss the alteration of the clinical course of acute and chronic states of disease by detailed examination of red cell fatty acids and phospholipids (unsaturated, saturated, oxidized, lyso) in university-based laboratories to obtain accurate data to assess the degree of epigenetic insult, endoplasmic and mitochondrial stress resulting in an accumulation of aberrant fatty acids and proteins forming debris which destabilizes organelle and cell membrane architecture and metabolism

To evaluate and fully appreciate epigenetic factors, DNA adducts and adverse effects upon gene expression and phospholipid membrane derangement, unfolded protein response also described as the Cell Danger Response, as it relates to neurological degradation, chronic disease and pain syndromes

To discuss the role of stabilization of cardiolipin, myelin, cells/ organelles, and membranes as new therapeutic targets in neurometabolic and chronic disease

To understand how peptides can improve chronic illness

To learn which specific peptides can improve patient recovery

To learn about peptide related Mitochondria repair

To learn protocols for improving longterm chronic illness

To gain a basic understanding of hyperbaric oxygen therapy

To review the mechanism of action of HBOT

To understand where HBOT fits inside an integrative medicine clinic/program

To review current hyperbaric research pertaining to the above

To discover the rarely discussed importance of optimal levels of estradiol and progesterone from menarche, throughout the reproductive stage of life, and during the menopause years

To review the menstrual cycle and recognize its importance for global female health, in addition to its importance for reproductive success

To discover the bidirectional role of estradiol and mitochondria and the interconnection of the essential roles they play in establishing and maintaining optimal female health throughout all of the decades of adult life

To understand the impacts of hormonal imbalances during the reproductive years and of loss of these vital hormones with the onset of menopause on health optimization and healthspan

To create a plan for female health optimization and healthspan utilizing human bioidentical hormones and lifestyle medicine, including evidence-based supplements and nutraceuticals

To understand the role of the oral microbiome in local and systemic inflammation

To review the biological mechanisms of gum, tooth, and jaw infections

To discover the latest diagnostic technologies that help identify oral disease earlier

To learn about minimally invasive therapies that target disease at the source and promote regeneration

To understand how persistent chronic diseases, such as Lyme disease and associated co-infections, can harbor in sites of oral infection
