Sample Talks

A Wholistic Approach to Improving Cardiovascular Health

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of death in the world. The greatest unnecessary disease of our time, it affects 81.1 million adult Americans (1 in 3, 25.7% of the entire population). There are some 850,000 deaths per year in the US alone. The World Health Organization estimates 12 million deaths per year worldwide–every second death globally is cardiovascular in men and women.

CVD is essentially a deficiency condition. In nearly every person it is an unnecessary, preventable and reversible lifestyle-based condition. This engaging seminar demystifies CVD, provides clear insights into its causes, and gives clinicians powerful diet, lifestyle and natural medicine tools to prevent and reverse this devastating condition. Popular myths surrounding the alleged evils of cholesterol are soundly debunked, while offering far more relevant laboratory assessment tools for assessing CV disease risk.

Optimal Reproductive Health for Women & Men

According to CDC, 12% of US women of childbearing age have impaired fertility, with 7.3 million using drug-based fertility services. Fertility doctors estimate that 20% of infertility related to the male partner. Impaired reproductive health has many contributing factors, including nutritional deficiencies, toxicity, stress and exhaustion. This seminar will offer practical approaches to optimizing reproductive health in both men and women, using diet, lifestyle and natural medicine.

Cancer Support & Prevention

Most cancer, like most chronic disease, is preventable and unnecessary. The sole agent that can reliably prevent and treat cancer is a resilient, well-functioning bodymind. The wholistic approach to cancer does not treat the cancer, but the person who has or would like to prevent it.

This remarkable seminar looks at the three primary contributors to cancer, and trains clinicians in providing low-cost, effective means of preventing cancer in healthy patients, using diet, inner work and natural medicine. Attention is also given to supporting optimal health, vitality and quality of life in cancer patients.
