Description
Why do some people get autoimmune disease and others don’t? How can you modulate the immune system to help someone with an autoimmune disease (including influencing their Th1, Th2, and cytokine response)? How does the immune system change in someone with autoimmune disease? In this course, Dr. Satya Ambrose breaks down the 3 I’s that play a major role in autoimmune disease: immunity, inflammation, and infection. She gives an overview of rheumatology, immunological factors, and a wide range of naturopathic tools that we can use to modulate the immune system and control inflammation. She focuses on psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), which is the exciting field of science that studies the interconnecting influences of the brain, neuroendocrine system, and immune system. Dr. Ambrose stresses the importance behind the gut microbiome, nutrition, hormones, and other factors in regulating inflammation. She focuses heavily on naturopathic treatment options and provides an extensive list of available tools including herbs, nutrition, lifestyle changes, and supplements. With her background in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), she briefly highlights Chinese Medicine applications.
Dr. Ambrose’s engaging teaching style makes such complex topics like PNI and immunology fun, interesting, and easily digestible. As an experienced clinician, she focuses on the clinically-relevant aspects of these detailed fields of study. You will walk away from this course with new and research-backed tools for supporting your patients who have autoimmune disease.
