Modern science is yet to fully understand the complexities of the dynamic, ever changing brain. The capacity of the nervous system to change its structure and function over a lifetime, in response to environmental challenges is now a well-established phenomenon.
While it is inevitable that some level of neurobiological decline will accompany the ageing process, the severity is influenced by several factors throughout life. General health status, lifestyle choices, and biological stressors such as inflammation, free radical production and certain medications all impact brain health.

This seminar will provide you with a clearer understanding of several underlying biological factors that impact brain health. Discover how you, as a natural healthcare practitioner can utilise practical solutions and implement nutritional and herbal strategies, to benefit the cognitive health of your clients. As our population continues to age, and the economic and social costs of mental health rapidly increases, our industry has the potential to make a real difference.

Key Seminar Concepts

• Neuroplasticity and cognition – the brain that changes throughout life
• Neuropsychological, chemical and genetic changes of the brain
• Emerging impacts of commonly prescribed drugs
• Age related neuronal morphology – the role of oxidative stress, inflammation and homocysteine
• Degenerative decline – Alzheimer’s and dementia
• The potential for nutrients, herbs and lifestyle changes to influence healthy brain ageing - solutions and practical implications for the natural health practitioner

BioMedica 

Presented by Amie Steel N.D.

A series of four webinars on evidence-based herbal support in pregnancy, birth and postnatal care.

When prescribing herbal medicines in pregnancy, birth and postnatal care, the safety of the mother and developing child is the primary consideration. The contention around safety concerns of herbal medicines can cause confusion for the practitioner aiming to treat their pregnant or postnatal care client safely and confi dently with herbs.

Naturopaths and herbalists are becoming more involved in providing maternity care. This requires obtaining the skills to confi dently prescribe herbal medicines and share available evidence with medical practitioners. Evidence to support the use of herbal medicines during maternity care comes in many forms and requires critical analysis. Having the expertise to determine good quality sources of evidence over poor sources is essential.

This webinar series delivers the keys to confi dent, safe practice, over the course of maternity care, by providing an understanding of:

• The common maternity-related conditions presented to natural health practitioners
• Therapeutic herbal support for these conditions
• How to translate evidence and research on this area of women’s health
• How studies and research around the topic of maternity, birth and postnatal care are currently conducted
• How to interpret the current available evidence and research, and discriminate the information that is being presented
