Description

This 25-hour advanced course explores the complex relationship between the immune system and the brain through the lens of neurochemistry and nutrition. Participants will study cytokine signaling, glial cell activity, neuroimmune crosstalk, and the inflammatory mechanisms behind neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. Clinical conditions discussed include multiple sclerosis, depression, migraine, CRPS, TBI, and gluten-related disorders. Case-based learning equips clinicians with immediately actionable strategies for intake, diagnosis, and non-pharmacological treatment using evidence-based nutrition and supplementation.
