Oral-Systemic Health
Inflammation, it’s everywhere. After years of trickling research around oral and systemic connections, we now have an avalanche of data about the main connector and culprit: Inflammation. Inflammation can be pegged as responsible for everything from aging skin to autoimmune diseases. The more we learn about inflammatory processes and actions, the louder the message becomes: reducing inflammation must be an integral part of treating disease and maintaining health. What if we could make simple lifestyle changes in our diets and exercise that would reduce inflammation and its damaging effects on our brains and bodies? What clinical interventions can be employed to fight and prevent inflammation? Can nutrition as a lifestyle intervention reduce systemic inflammation? This informative and fact-filled course will provide tangible take-home lessons for immediate implementation in your daily life and practice.
