Natural Alternatives to Rx Drugs for Management of Pain and Inflammation

Sponsored by: Anabolic Labs     

As little as 15 years ago diet and inflammation was not a hot topic of interest. But now information abounds regarding the relationship between diet and inflammation. In this session, learn about how a dietary excess of sugar, flour, and refined oils create chronic inflammation. This occurs via postprandial hyperglycemia and endotoxemia, each which can become a chronic state in the fasting state. By addressing chronic inflammation properly, we can target the underlying cause of most chronic conditions, such as chronic pain, osteoarthritis, tendinosis, osteoporosis, obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, depression, and heart disease.

Learning Objectives

• Discuss how sugar, flour, and refined oils can inflame the body
• Identifyfoods that promote dietary inflammation and weight gain
• Discuss why supplements alone cannot adequately deflame the body
• Introduce a diet and supplements to reduce chronic inflammation, rather than attempting to target a specific organ, appears to be a rational clinical approach for addressing the issue of toxicity.

EXPERIENCES. NOT THINGS.

Sponsored by: SIDECAR

Now more than ever, chiropractors, like nearly every other segment of the economy, are in the experience business. After all, what is more human than healing touch? What is more life enriching than the experience of feeling better?

Dr. Nathan Unruh describes how the chiropractic profession is well-positioned to thrive in what’s called the Experience Economy. We operate in a highly competitive health care marketplace, with lowered reimbursements, higher levels of risk, and an aging population. Differentiate yourself through experiences.

That’s where you will thrive. It’s about experiences. Not things.
