Events & Seminars – Expert-Led Health & Wellness Education

This two-hour continuing education webinar provides healthcare professionals with a clinical framework for integrating nutritional and herbal therapies into patient care, with emphasis on supplement quality evaluation and gastrointestinal function. The session is organized into two one-hour modules. The first module addresses foundational concepts in clinical nutrition, including the standards and criteria used to assess supplement purity, potency, bioavailability, and manufacturing quality, as well as the clinical significance of nutrient synergy and sourcing in therapeutic decision-making. The second module focuses on the physiological mechanisms underlying digestive function and their role in nutrient assimilation, with attention to identifying clinical and laboratory markers of gastrointestinal dysfunction and applying structured approaches to digestive restoration in practice.

This activity addresses identified gaps in practitioners' ability to critically evaluate nutritional and herbal supplement quality, recognize gastrointestinal dysfunction as a contributor to impaired nutrient utilization, and apply evidence-informed protocols for digestive support. Content is applicable to naturopathic physicians seeking to strengthen the clinical rationale behind nutritional therapy recommendations and improve the precision of supplement selection in practice.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

1. Evaluate nutritional and herbal supplement quality using criteria that include manufacturing standards, third-party testing, purity, potency, and bioavailability.
2. Explain the clinical relevance of nutrient synergy and sourcing when making evidence-informed supplement recommendations.
3. Identify clinical symptoms and laboratory indicators associated with upper and lower gastrointestinal dysfunction, including hypochlorhydria, enzyme insufficiency, and impaired bile flow.
4. Apply a systematic digestive terrain restoration model, incorporating strategies for digestive priming, enzymatic activation, and hepatobiliary support.
5. Recognize nutrient deficiencies associated with impaired digestion and incorporate this assessment into clinical nutritional protocols.
