Presenter(s): Marc Schoen Session Length: 6:00 hr. Event: NICABM 2007 Annual Conference Date: December 3-9, 2007
Inflammation is now considered one of the leading causes of major illness and likely plays a substantial role in how fast or slowly we age. Alarmingly, as we age, the body produces increasingly greater amounts of inflammation. Our ability to control inflammation may have a significant impact on our long term health. The good news is that there is great deal we can do to make a difference. In this seminar you will learn what inflammation is, what causes it, and how it affects our health and conditions such as Heart Disease, Alzheimer's, and Cancer. You will also learn how exercise, diet, sleep, and emotions affect inflammation. We will explore the relationship between The Let Effect and inflammation, and the role that medication and supplements play in controlling inflammation. Since one of the main culprits of inflammation happens to be stress and emotion, Mind Body Medicine is particularly well suited for managing inflammation. We will discuss how to introduce Mind Body Medicine to your patients to maximize your clinical interventions, while also covering Mind-Body Interventions, such as Hypnosis and other techniques that you can use to lower inflammation and alter the factors that precipitate inflammation.
