If you have ever suspected that not everyone should eat the same thing or do the same exercise, you are right! In fact, what food we absorb well and how our bodies handle stress differs in phases of healing and wellness. Your stage of inflammation, recovery and wellness reflect your internal chemistry. It is the key that unlocks the mysteries of disease, pain, longevity, fitness, emotional strength, and how we heal. The food you eat determines your susceptibility to illness and prevents the most troubling health diseases. Foods are the most frequently introduced chemicals to the body and considered an intervention for pain and disease.  The chemical reactions brought into the body through foods can be positive or negative. In conjunction with the healthy state of the liver and gut, they can alter the response to treatment for pain and chronic illness.  Recent ongoing literature suggests a non-pharmacy intervention for pain and disease, in the area of healthy eating including a whole food plant-based diet. The function of the liver, the microbiome of the gut, and the integrity of the gut lining play an integral role in inflammation. Whole food plant-based eating offers an individualized lifestyle health plan that is right for your patients. Gentle detox and balancing protocols for the liver, adrenal glands, gut, and thyroid can reactivate an immune system causing remission to many autoimmune and neurological diseases. The inflammatory mechanism may have a chemical component systemically in the tissues, such as, cytokines, lipopolysaccharides, chronic infection or histamine, etc.  The patient’s inflammatory symptoms can reflect the immune system’s stress and inability to heal the body.  A person with an autoimmune condition will have more pre-existing inflammatory molecules present in the body compared to a person without.  Therefore, an intervention focused on foods can alter the rate of healing and the overall outcome.  The “Root Cause” to the inflammatory cascade and immune system stress response identified within the foods people select can be the missing link to sustained benefits from pain and remission for chronic illness.  The World of Hurt “Foods” course will introduce an eclectic scientific based framework involving the four blood types O, A, B, and AB, ketogenic diets, and whole food plant-based eating to individualize food selection for healthy immune systems.  In addition, fundamental protocols for the liver, adrenal glands, thyroid and gut to promote a healthy immune system will be discussed. Each person can greatly benefit from its own exercise regimen, meal plans, and vitamin supplements, that can be identified within this simplistic framework.\nCourse Objectives: At the conclusion of the course, participants will be able to:\n1) Distinguish patient lifestyle, dietary, and disease characteristics that would benefit from a “Foods” intervention care plan.\n2) Discuss the difference and application of high protein, low carbohydrate, ketogenic, blood type, and whole food plant-based eating plans.\n3) Describe a framework of assessment to guide healthy lifestyle eating as a treatment for pain, disease management and prevention.\n4) Interpret when to recommend advanced protocols for immune system health.\n \nCourse Agenda:\n8:00 Course Introduction \n8:15 Lecture: What patient characteristics requires a “Foods” approach? \n9:00 Lecture: Lifestyle eating plans and what does the evidence conclude? \n10:00 Break \n10:15 Lecture: Proteins, Fats, Carbohydrates the Real Deal \n11:15 Workshop: World of Hurt “Foods” Framework to Heal \n12:00 Lunch \n1:00 Workshop: Patient Education Materials \n1:45 Lecture: Lab tests and values for healthy immune system \n2:30 Break \n2:45 Lecture: Advance protocols for healthy immune system \n3:30 Lecture: Self-monitoring and Prevention \n4:15 Debrief Day: Question & Answers \n4:30 Adjourn \nStudent Pricing: If you are a current student in a healthcare program, please use STUDENTKAISERFOODS as the promo code to attend the course for $99.\nAudit: If you have taken the Foods course already and would like to audit the course please email worldofhurt2@gmail.com for the audit promo code.\nEarly Bird Until December 8th = $25 off.
