Chronic Pain & Fatigue: Causes and Functional Approaches Masterclass
This Masterclass for healthcare practitioners, curated by Tanya Borowski, Certified Functional Medicine practitioner and Immunologist Dr. Jenna Macciochi has been designed to help practitioners master the functional concepts of the immune system in the context of Chronic Fatigue (CFS), pain & associated conditions such as Fibromyalgia. With a specific focus on functional clinical applications. Part 1Dr Jenna gets up close and personal with our immune system.Specifically and clearly, this first part of the day covers both the essential components of Immunology from basic science perspectives; how it works, where it is built and explores inflammation and immune dysfunction as common mechanisms in many chronic disorders, such as autoimmunity, pain, allergy, and CFS. Part 2Many conditions can result in fatigue and pain yet after certain fundamentals have been ruled in or out, at the core is mitochondrial dysfunction. Once initiated by a set of triggers, mitochondrial dysfunction becomes a self-perpetuating and progressive vicious cycle. In the second session of the day Tanya will present initially on how to evaluate a complete blood count and comprehensive metabolic blood chemistry with a special focus on blood glucose; red blood cells, immune and thyroid. Teaching how identifying patterns of sub-optimal function can be the root cause of fatigue. She will then progress on to assessing and addressing the more commonly appreciated causes of the vicious cycle of mitochondrial dysfunction: Vitamin and mineral deficiencies clearly and commonly cause mitochondrial dysfunction. Many pharmaceutical drugs and toxic environmental chemicals are also mitochondrial poisons and Metabolic toxins produced by endogenous bacteria within the gastrointestinal tract also cause mitochondria dysfunction. All will be presented within the context of using functional applications. Key learning objectives:

The number of attendees was perfect as everyone felt comfortable to ask questions if needs be. Thank you.” “I loved the way that you both shared experiences of working with cases which brought the information to life. Also the generosity in the information and diet plans you shared. It really felt like you had gone out there, done all the work and gathered information from all the best research and experience and then shared it all. Really couldn't have hoped for more.” |
