With obesity and diabetes at record levels there is a pressing need for weight loss protocols that work.
Semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) is the latest in a long line of 'miracle' weight loss drugs and millions of people worldwide are now taking it.
This session examines the pros and cons of this latest pharmaceutical fix and explores safe and effective alternative natural and nutritional weight loss strategies.
This 2-hour webinar will provide participants with the most updated Evidence Based Approach about evaluation and treatment of patients with temporomandibular disorders and orofacial pain. We will discuss the role of masticatory muscles and the TMJ in relation to the diagnosis of orofacial pain for determining the most appropriate clinical reasoning to be applied.
The voluntary slowing down of breath frequency is a powerful aspect of meditative practices and induces strong psychophysiological changes in the brain and body. The lecture aims to elucidate the psychophysiological mechanisms linking breath control to its positive effects and impact on health and well-being. It will focus on autonomic changes, brain activity and connectivity modifications (assessed with the EEG and fMRI), and cognitive function and emotion regulation improvements.
In this lecture, Dr. Keith Baar will present a comprehensive approach that integrates biomechanics, rehabilitation principles, and nutrition to promote tendon and ligament health.
This course explores the structure and function of tendons and ligaments, comparing their characteristics in healthy and injured states. Students will gain an understanding of viscoelasticity and examine the mechanical behaviour of healthy tendons.
The lecture will also delve into the physiological changes that occur in tendons during immobilisation, as well as the minimal effective loading dose required to maintain the health of tendons, ligaments, and bones. Additionally, the course will contrast the effects of different types of loads on both healthy and injured tendons.
Finally, participants will be introduced to the scientific evidence supporting the use of nutritional supplements to enhance tendon recovery and outcomes.
'Metabolism' is a word often used but seldom understood. This session clears up common misconceptions and explores how understanding metabolism can help with weight control, healthy ageing, human performance and vitality.
Examples of diet, supplement and exercise approaches to modulate metabolism in beneficial ways will be discussed.
