SUMMARY:Treating Alzheimer’s and other Dementias with Chinese Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Click here to sign up for this webinar \n5.5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease. Currently\, considered the 6th most common cause of death in the United States\, but according to the National Institute of Health\, it should be ranked third (https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/alzheimers-disease-fact-sheet). While the most common form of dementia\, there are lots of different types other than Alzheimer’s.

SUMMARY:Pharmacogenomics and Chinese Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Click here to sign up for this webinar \nIn our Drug-Herb Series\, we have discussed many classes and subclasses of drugs\, how they work\, and their interface with Chinese medicine. This seminar explores something a bit different: we will be introducing the recently developed area of genomic medicine\, also referred to as personalized or precision medicine. We will discuss genetics and their interface with pharmacology by looking at drug-metabolizing enzymes\, drug transporters\, and hypersensitivity reactions. While many of these play a role in drug-herb interactions\, the emphasis will be on the current prescribing of medications and lay the foundation for the future of medication. And\, the whole time\, we will attempt to discuss how these interact with our Chinese medicine.

SUMMARY:GLP-1 Agonists and Chinese Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Click here to sign up for this webinar \nGlucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists\, such as Ozempic\, Wegovy\, Mounjaro\, and others\, are really popular right now. Like really popular. And several experts say they will fundamentally change our society in our eating habits and in secondary uses such as aiding addictions and sex. This course will look at the science and pharmacology of these drugs as well as how they may work from a Chinese medical view. We will also explore herbs\, Chinese and otherwise\, and supplements that may help support users of GLP-1 agonists or have similar effects and can be used instead of these pharmaceuticals. And\, as usual in our courses\, we will determine the risks of drug-herb interactions. This is a must take course for any modern Chinese medical practitioner and/or herbalist!

SUMMARY:Interpreting Bloodwork for Acupuncturists
DESCRIPTION:Click here to sign up for this webinar \nAs acupuncturists and herbalists\, our patients often get their blood analyzed. There is a lot of useful information in those results! They can help us determine what is going on with our patients\, how they are progressing\, and how we may need to change our treatments. This course will go into the basics of interpreting blood results\, emphasizing common test panels like the CBC\, lipid panel\, and common tests including vitamin and mineral assays. And the overarching question we will attempt to answer is how can looking at bloodwork help us do acupuncture and prescribe herbs more effectively. We will give a brief overview of important tests\, followed by a group interpretation of actual results. Please join us for this important and interesting course.
