During his 1 hour webinar on Monday, May 16, Brett Hawes presented on how to use functional lab testing and holistic nutrition to help your clients overcome gut infections. Recent advances in our understanding of the microbiome have led to innovative new testing methods to uncover acute and chronic infections as well as a variety of dysbiotic scenarios. This, combined with age-old food and supplement remedies, means practitioners now have the ability to resolve even the most stubborn and complex gut infections.

Faculty Feature | Dr. David Duizer 

“In my Continuing Education course, Understanding Lab Diagnostics in Clinical Practice, my focus is on practitioner preparedness and organization. If the required information is easy to access, and offers accountability, client care will be improved.” 
 
We asked David what he loves about IHN and teaching his course: 
 
“I enjoy knowing that students will take the information and apply it clinically to support their client's wellbeing almost immediately. Improving public health and wellness is an important goal of mine and hearing about how students will apply the information to enhance the health and wellness of their clients brings me joy. 
 
What I love about IHN is that the students are actively engaged in their courses and excited about supporting their client's nutrition goals. They are a driven group.”

Lisa refers to minerals as the foundation of the home that need to be kept in check in order to make sure “the house is strong and stable.” HTMA testing along with bloodwork from your client’s doctor can give a practitioner a clearer picture of protocol development. In a single hair sample, the tissue is stable over time and provides several months of biochemical activity versus just a snapshot from blood work.

Just as CNPs talk food and gardeners talk plants, there is a special language that we can tap into with our pets, referred to as “animal talk”. Author Matthew Davis shares in a May 24, 2022 article (4 minute read), along with 10 book suggestions to guide us, that “Learning to communicate with nonhuman animals can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience.” The featured experts explain how we can create a deeper communication and have a more respectful relationship with all creatures, that goes beyond us simply talking at the animal until it obeys our commands.

Couscous is widely used in cuisines alongside meat, veggies, and sauce in the same way as rice or pasta is. Most of couscous' health benefits come from its high mineral and vitamin content, which includes selenium, a powerful antioxidant that aids in the protection from free radicals and boosts the immune system. With it’s high fibre content, couscous may reduce your risk of certain cancers, can prevent blood sugar spikes, promotes satiety, can help lower cholesterol and is heart-healthy. We recommend this Pretty Pearl Couscous Salad by IHN graduate Allanah Canal.
