Key mediators in targeting receptor biology
Plants have played a significant role in maintaining human health and improving quality of life for thousands of years. Physiological function at the receptor level is considered one of the most important controlling factors that determines the causality of disease outcome. Being able to restore receptor function, density and sensitivity is at the cornerstone for therapeutic intervention.
Herbal medicines are now becoming acknowledged as key mediators in targeting receptor biology.

PART 1
The latest evidence of mineral imbalance in disease & effects of female reproductive health
PRESENTER: Professor Jürgen Vormann
International speaker & world expert on magnesium & pH
The risk of mineral imbalance for a woman throughout her life-span is profound and may a ect a myriad of female hormonal disorders. As we age and consume an acidogenic, minerally-depleted western diet, our mineral stores diminish, leaving us metabolically challenged, acidic and depleted in energy and vitality.
Research is now linking mineral disturbances in magnesium and pH, to wide-ranging endocrine and metabolic dysfunction, stress, weight gain, ageing, poor brain function, metabolic syndrome and even cardiovascular disease.
LEARN:
- NEW RESEARCH on the metabolic impact of hidden mineral imbalances
- The evidence outlining diets that really work for obesity
- Important recent global research on healthy pregnancy.
PART 2
Acid-base balance for women in coping with stress & metabolic challenges
PRESENTER: Rachel Arthur
Expert naturopath
Often our female patients, who are mothers and partners, present last in our clinics. They’ve sent in their children & partner long before they’ve found the time and recognised the necessity of addressing their own health – their stress, their weight issues, their autoimmunity & invariably their progression towards poor bone health. The modern woman spins many plates which means, whatever we ask her to do in terms of making healthy changes, must have the right balance of minimal effort with maximal impact. Whether it is back pain, autoimmunity, sleep problems, detoxification issues or just every day stress, correcting acid-base balance is central to producing the ‘Well Woman’ and in turn goes a long way to helping the whole family.
GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO:
- Look at key body clues that acidosis may be manifesting in our female clients’ health picture
- Help clients understand the magnitude of the positive impact we can expect from redressing this imbalance
- Clinically address acid base imbalance as a critical determinant of health with a profound therapeutic ripple effect.

PART 3
Mood, anxiety & female hormones
PRESENTER: Vanessa Hitch
Hormonal health expert & naturopath
It’s not just our neurotransmitters but also our hormones that determine how we think and feel. They powerfully influence a woman’s mood, how she is motivated, her eating patterns, sleep cycles, ability to concentrate and every aspect of her wellbeing. Australian & New Zealand women are more likely to experience symptoms such as depression, insomnia & anxiety, as well as a wide array of female hormonal conditions.
EXPLORE:
- Vital new research changing the way we look at the brain and hormones
- Why mood is so profoundly affected by the glandular production of hormones
- How to quickly recognise and prescribe for hormonal and neurotransmitter imbalances.

PART 4
Receptor sensitivity, stress & inflammation in hormonal health
PRESENTER: Dr Thomas Harris
PhD researcher & clinician
Emerging research suggests that hormones and neurotransmitters share not only common pathways but importantly, they also share common receptor sites in vital areas of the brain and key reproductive organs and tissues in the body. The implications of receptor sensitivity and function, adds another level of complexity to our understanding of hormones and mood and needs to be properly recognised, so we can prescribe accordingly for better clinical outcomes.
LOOK INTO:
- Key pathways including the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal and adrenal axes and their interplay affecting hormonal health
- Evidence of the impact of stress hormones and inflammation on receptor function
- NEW TREATMENT STRATEGIES for improving receptor function for progesterone, insulin and other key hormones.
- Fatigue
- Pregnancy
- Depression
- Weight gain
- Sleep problems
- Anxiety & stress
- Insulin resistance
- Hormonal conditions
- Menopause/perimenopause.
