LEARN about autophagy and how can it help your clients
DISCOVER the latest research on fasting with an individualised approach
In a society where fad-diets & misinformation are rife,
two things ring true:
FASTING & AUTOPHAGY
Autophagy is the body’s adaptive mechanism of intracellular detoxification and rejuvenation; clearing away cellular debris and toxins, so that the cells and cellular components (for example, organelles, proteins and cell membranes) remain robust, restored and functional.
Recent evidence has shown that specific changes in dietary composition and fasting can reduce ageing and chronic disease by enhancing hormetic processes in the body, such as autophagy. Unfortunately, the inability of many clients to adhere to specific diets or fasting, as well as potentially challenging issues, such as nutrient deficiencies and chronic acidosis, has limited their therapeutic application, until now…..
A dynamic and practical seminar where participants will explore:
• How autophagy can benefit your clients for disease prevention and longevity
• Fasting and activation of nutrient sensing pathways
• Key therapeutic targets of autophagy, such as insulin and inflammasomes
• Evidence for the metabolic benefits of fasting for cellular health, including heat shock proteins and adaptive cell signalling
• How fasting affects your client’s hormones and endocrine system
• Benefits and pitfalls of current popular prescriptive diets: paleo, high protein/low carb, high fat/low carb and plant-based diets
• The circadian rhythm of cells and the SCN in response to calorie intake
• How to address the challenges of using fasting in clients who have gene variants such as MTHFR, with nutritional workarounds that will restore their energy and mood fast
• Fasting myths: When fasting is and isn’t appropriate for your client
