Lisa Pitel-Killah Shares Material From Her Con Ed Course
Join us Tuesday March 28, 2:00 PM ET/11:00 AM PT for a 1 hour webinar as Lisa Pitel-Killah discusses the interrelationships of minerals, namely the significant ratios, one of which identifies the functionality of the thyroid. The thyroid is affected by the levels of minerals, specifically selenium, calcium, potassium and iodine. Iodine, whether in the form of seaweed or Lugol's, needs to be understood in order to put it into clinical practice. Understand the effects of iodine, the measurement tools, the cautions and the conversions. Plus learn how to identify iodine insufficiency specifically by analyzing a client's HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) test.

Practitioner Level & Passionate Public Presentation
Join Sofia Pistrila, as she introduces the topic of the Methylation Cycle and Folate Pathway. Methylation has a critical role in gene expression, energy, metabolism, detoxification, immunity and behavioural development. It also plays life-changing functions in physical and mental health. If you are a practitioner, you may have experience with adults whose symptomatology and labs display a wide range of possible chronic disease states or children with neonatal disorders that parents agonize over correcting. You may have tried multiple strategies–to no avail. If this sounds familiar, this webinar will give you a start in understanding the intricacies of the Methylation Cycle and Folate Pathway and their application in practice for effective results.
Key Topics:
• The basics of The Methylation Cycle: what is it, how it functions and links to chronic disease
• How is Methylation disturbed?
• Epigenetic blockages vs. Genetic SNPs, MTHFR is just a small part of the Methylation puzzle
• The importance of The Folate Pathway: symptoms, conditions, lab testing and key genes
• Interactions with Xenobiotics–The importance of diet, lifestyle & nutrition
• The dangers of supplementing the wrong form of Folate or over-supplementing, especially in pregnancy

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.

The sun’s warm rays on your face, the songs of birds, the sound of water flowing, and the scents of trees, flowers and grass. To improve physical and mental health, doctors in Canada can now prescribe free passes to national parks to those who may benefit from nature through the national nature prescription program. In a May 4, 2022 article (3 minute read), Erin Jackson explains, “It starts with just two hours outside per week for a minimum of 20 minutes each time to experience a wide variety of health and wellness benefits.” A natural prescription worth filling!
