  • Clinical Mastery - Chronic Pelvic Pain: Navigating Comorbidities and Complexities to Improve Treatment (90-minute session) - 2024

    Chronic pain is one of the top 5 health concerns affecting women in Australia, with chronic pelvic pain (CCP) estimated to affect between 15-25%. While endometriosis is the most common cause of CCP, accounting for up to 40% of cases, other causes of CPP exist. Regardless of the underlying cause, CPP has a negative impact on the quality of life of affected patients. Women with CPP are also likely to report other health conditions, most notably depression and anxiety but also poorer social and academic engagement and sexual relationships. Our understanding of pain processing, nociception, and the underlying pain mechanisms that can cause CPP has expanded in recent years, with evidence emerging on the intrinsic role of the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems in this condition. During this 90-minute masterclass, clinical naturopath and pain specialist Ananda Mahony presents her advanced understanding of CPP and shares valuable clinical insights for managing this complex condition including: • The complex interplay of the nervous-endocrine-immune ensemble (NEI) • Her 4 Principles of CPP assessment • Treatment strategies for addressing CPP • How to manage patients with complex and chronic pain Access this webinar to see how Ananda navigates a case of complex CPP in a 42-year-old woman post-hysterectomy with comorbid Irritable Bowel Syndrome and interstitial cystitis. Ananda will take you through her clinical approach, assessment tools, as well as treatment strategies used to address the wider drivers of chronic pain. This session was facilitated by our fx Medicine Ambassador and naturopath Lisa Costa-Bir, who supported this important conversation with her own clinical experiences navigating CPP with her patients.

  • Clinical Mastery - Supporting Women Through the Neurological Rewiring of Perimenopause (90-minute session) - 2023

    For many women, the two to ten years leading up to the final period can be a time of neurological symptoms, including higher perceived stress, depression, anxiety, brain fog, migraines, irritability, and insomnia. Yet, many patients do not receive the treatment they need because they're mistakenly told, "It can't be perimenopause because their cycles are still regular," or "It can't be perimenopause because their results are normal." In this 90-minute webinar, renowned naturopath and author Lara Briden outlines the four stages of perimenopause and explains how the process of change can start as young as a woman's late 30s. She also explores menopause through the lens of evolutionary biology and builds the case that perimenopause is a normal life phase and should not be inherently symptomatic. Instead, perimenopausal symptoms are the result of "evolutionary mismatch," which are symptoms and disease risks that arise from living in an environment that differs substantially from that in which we evolved. In this informative education presentation, Lara discusses the assessment and differential diagnosis of perimenopause and investigates the underlying mechanisms of neurological change, including elevated histamine, decreased GABAergic tone, choline deficiency, and a shift towards reduced insulin sensitivity and brain energy. She also provides treatment strategies including oral micronised progesterone and key herbal medicines and nutrients that support healthy nervous system function. Finally, Lara presents one of her patient stories, showing how the concepts translate into actionable insights and patient management strategies. During the session, Lara covers: • Assessment of perimenopause • Treatment to correct evolutionary mismatch • Strategies to target the underlying mechanisms and Lara provides therapeutic ranges for all recommendations. • The case of Bernadette - Bernadette has brain fog, fatigue, waking at 5 a.m., shoulder pain, and reduced ability to cope with stress. Lara goes through her case taking, assessment, and treatment. Presented by Lara Briden.

  • Clinical Mastery - The Neuro-Psycho-Angio Basis of Endometriosis (90-minute session) - 2023

    Endometriosis is a chronic condition with pain as the central symptom that persists despite treatment, and often despite improvement in general health and wellbeing. Pain processing, nociception, and underlying pain mechanisms of endometriosis have expanded in recent years. Our understanding of endometriosis has progressed beyond the bacterial hypothesis, hormonal interplay, hormonal resistance, and suspected immunological drivers of the condition. We now know that there exists a fundamental neurological and neuropathic difference in these individuals. People with endometriosis present with neurocircuitry, emotional processing, and psychology that is uniquely specific. Ectopic endometriotic implants recruit their own unique neural and vascular supplies through neuro-angiogenesis which influence dorsal root neurons within the central nervous system increasing pain perception. Endometriosis cells are likely to be beyond the simplified model of the condition in current perception. The bridge between neuroplasticity, the endocannabinoid system, inflammation, pain interpretation, neural patterning, and the methodology to repair these pain pathways need to be linked in translatable treatment approaches to support our patients. In this informative educational presentation, Leah reviews this new understanding of endometriosis and outline how we, as clinicians, can evolve our treatment and assessment of this condition beyond current approaches and address the complexity with holistic, directive, and strategic measures for the health of our patients now and into the future. During the session Leah covers: • The complexity of endometriosis as a condition, and the unique features of endometriosis cells immunologically, neurologically, psychologically, vascularly, and clinically. • The impact of trauma on endometriosis – women with endometriosis reported significantly more often than control women a history of sexual abuse, emotional abuse and emotional neglect (Liebermann et al, 2018). The impact of childhood abuse and miscarriage have also been documented. Leah posed the question: What if endometriosis cells were physiological and cellular vehicles for trauma? • How to support patients with endometriosis with persistent pain and repair their pain interpretation and pain processing. • The key complementary medicine treatment interventions for inflammation, persistent pain and repairing neuronal signalling. • A case of endometriosis with significant pain - Dx at 15 years and Hx 4 laparoscopies. Conventional analgesics were proving ineffective.

  • Clinical Mastery – Rebuilding Patients After Cancer Treatment (2 x 60-minute sessions) – 2022

    Session 1 Rebuilding Patients After Cancer Treatment Many cancer survivors will experience late and long-term side effects as a result of their treatment and/or their cancer. Natural and integrated medicine practitioners can play an essential role in the recovery and post-treatment of people who have completed cancer treatment. Most research focuses on what complementary medicines can be used during cancer treatment to minimise treatment side effects, increase treatment efficacy and quality of life. However, more focus is now being directed to post cancer treatment care. Survivorship plans and the discussion of post treatment complications is increasing exponentially as the number of cancer survivors rise. People feel that they should be back to ‘normal’ as soon as they finish their cancer treatment, but their ‘new normal’ needs our support. It is important to rationalise your treatment approach based on individual patient needs, status, condition, and situation as patient-centred care is paramount. This 75-minute session focuses on the evidence-based approaches which assist people who have completed cancer treatment by covering the effective physical, emotional, psychological, psychosocial and lifestyle treatment options available for patient-led care and how to implement them. During the session Dr Schloss covers: • COMMON ISSUES - occurring after cancer treatment and the importance of knowing the type of cancer, their treatment specifics, and associated effects. • EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGIES - to help reduce fatigue, reduce inflammation, support immune function and DNA repair. • FACTS ABOUT FOOD – specific to their type of cancer, including plant-based diets, the fatigue reduction diet, folate, and fats. • GUT REPAIR -. Review new information about the role of probiotics and the influence of their microbiome. • DETOXIFICATION – dos and don’ts • TESTING – to assess the microbiome, metabolic pathways and novel testing with the potential to pick up early cancer development. Presented by Dr Janet Schloss Session 2 From Surviving to Thriving Dr Janet Schloss translates her research highlights and patient management insights from Session 1 Rebuilding Patients After Cancer Treatment into actionable insights that you can effortlessly integrate into your clinical practice. During this session Dr Schloss: • ASSESSES POST TREATMENT ISSUES - digestive distress, fatigue, low mood, anxiety, `chemo’ brain and hypometabolic state (weight gain). • UTILISES TESTING – to assess gut health, metabolic state, neurotransmitter abnormalities, citric acid cycle abnormalities, Co Q10 sufficiency, nutritional insufficiencies, and mitochondrial health. • PROVDES TREATMENT STRATEGIES - suitable for breast cancer survivors post chemotherapy and radiation treatment, and which address the presenting symptoms. • GIFTS MULTIPLE CLINICAL PEARLS – derived from her extensive clinical experience and research, including practical tips to assist with common side effects experienced during chemotherapy and radiation.

  • Clinical Mastery - Living in a viral world - Part 1 ( 2 x 60 minute sessions) - 2022

    Session 1 Building Immune Fitness and Managing Acute Infections The mechanisms underlying viral infection are complex, and include multifactorial processes mediated by interactions between viruses and the host immune system. While acute management of viral infection has been a key focus in recent years, emphasis on optimal function of the immune system and preventive strategies is just as crucial. Helping clients manage their immune health while living in a viral world, has never been as important as now. During this masterclass, Naturopath Lisa Costa Bir will examine the factors that contribute to an individuals’ immune “fitness” and why some people are more susceptible to viral infection than others. Modifiable factors that may influence severity of viral infection, viral reactivation and the psychoneuroimmunity (PNI) of preventive strategies will be explored. A key focus of this educational webinar will be providing evidenced based strategies to reduce the impact of acute viral infections and help sustain optimal immune health. Presented by: Naturopath, Lisa Costa-Bir Session 2 Clinical Strategies for Acute Viral Infections During this case-study session, Naturopaths Roberta Barbiellini and Sarah Clarke will translate the research highlights and patient management insights from Session 1: Building Immune Fitness and Managing Acute Viral Infections presented by Lisa Costa-Bir into actionable insights that you can effortlessly integrate into your clinical practice.

  • Clinical Mastery - Rewinding Viral Reactivation ( 2 x 60 minute sessions) - 2022

    Session 1 Rewinding reactivation – The curious complexity and interplay of concomitant infections Some specific infections evade normal immunological tolerance and are unique in their replication, host control, and reactivation potential. The group of viral infections (e.g. CMV and EBV) – specifically within the herpesviridae family - are the most cryptic and unique infections that tend to underpin chronic immune complexities in all systems. There are more than 130 known herpesviruses and more than 90% of adults are infected with at least one HHSV-1 to HHSV-5 and many strains endemic in humans. The infection is incorporated into the DNA of its host thus changing their health trajectory indefinitely.
