"Vitamin D: How Much is Enough and How Much is Too Much?" presented by Alex Vasquez, DC, ND, and Michael Stone, MD
Vitamin D seems to be constantly in the news, but do you know the signs and symptoms of insufficiency or toxicity? What are appropriate dosing levels, when do you reassess, and what are the implications across age groups, latitudes, and gender?  Alex Vasquez, DC, ND, will discuss the latest research as well as various clinical presentations and conditions that may be associated with inadequate vitamin D nutriture.  Michael Stone, MD, will add his clinical experience to this Webinar which will teach you the best ways to evaluate and supplement your patients' vitamin D status.  To purchase archive, use the drop down menu box at the top of the page.

"Depression and Nutritional Deficiency: State of the Science and Treatment" presented by Robert Hedaya, MD
A significant body of literature suggests that depression may be caused or exacerbated by common nutrient insufficiencies.  For example, there is evidence that folic acid may be just as effective as antidepressants for specific patient populations.  Robert Hedaya, MD, author of the recently published Functional Medicine Clinical Monograph on depression, will explain key physical exam findings and laboratory assessments in this Webinar.  He also will present specific treatment programs he has used over the past 30 years, incorporating fish oil, vitamin B12, vitamin D, and folic acid.  To purchase archive, use the drop down menu box at the top of the page.

"Upregulating Detoxification Enzymes to Improve Health" presented by Mark Hyman, MD, and Kathy Swift, MS, RD
Phase 2 detoxification can be a key factor in a wide range of health issues including mood disorders, fatigue, and cancer prevention.  Mark Hyman, MD, and Kathie Swift, MS, RD, LDN, will explain the clinical significance of assessing and then promoting phase 2 detoxification enzymes.  They also will discuss specific dietary changes and supplementation strategies that upregulate these important pathways.  To purchase archive, use the drop down menu box at the top of the page.

"Beyond Mammograms: Preventive Strategies for Breast Cancer" presented by Joel Evans, MD, and Bethany Hays, MD
Much confusion exists for the general practitioner over how to counsel patients on actually preventing breast cancer, not just identifying it at an earlier stage.  In this Webinar, Joel Evans, MD, will outline an evidence-based functional medicine plan to evaluate and lower breast cancer risk.  Bethany Hays, MD, the 2008 Linus Pauling Functional Medicine Award winner, will add her clinical experience as we discuss this critical area with two of the leading experts in the field.  To purchase the archive, use the drop down menu box at the top of the page.
