From puberty to menopause, the average reproductive lifespan for women is 36 years
During this time, it is estimated that a woman will experience over 400 ovulatory menstruations, a stark comparison to the estimated 40-160 that occurred in women during the nineteenth century. This dramatic shift has led to an increased lifetime exposure of oestrogen, as well as a greater susceptibility to reproductive disorders. Research continues to unveil a complex network of internal systems and interactions that impact female reproductive function and dysfunction. This network synergy requires consideration of how the pieces fit together as well as disturbances in every phase of the cycle to create an informed therapeutic approach.
In this two-part live stream, clinicians will present recent research and updated understanding of key presentations that are often challenging to unravel while discussing best practice naturopathic support.
By attending this seminar you will gain an understanding of:
• The hidden facets and the real drivers of clinical presentations that are commonly overlooked
• Evolutionary, whole-body approach to understanding endometriosis beyond hormones
• Case studies to showcase clinical presentations and understanding of key drivers, and effective wholistic management
Date: 16th June at 12.30 AEST
Cost: Practitioners $49, Students $29. Duration 3.5 hours
CPE Points: 3.4 contact learning hours.
Inflammation Lunch and Learn Webinar Series 4 Parts
Inflammation is an underlying factor in many of the health concerns our patients struggle with today. From seemingly unrelated conditions such as ligament damage, long COVID, and migraine, we find that assessing and addressing their inflammation levels can often be the best approach to supporting their health goals – and is an approach clinically supported by research. In this 4-part webinar series, Dr Clark will discuss four areas that share similar treatment approaches and explain how to assess when the dysfunction is most closely associated with inflammation. Register now to learn about the latest research to support inflammatory health and disease states, including protocols, timelines and patient resources.
Dr Michelle Clark is a licensed naturopathic physician with over 20 years of clinical experience in the USA and New Zealand. Her comprehensive training covers nutrition and supplementation to intravenous therapies, herbal and pharmaceutical prescribing, functional and insurance-based diagnostics, lifestyle integration and various physical therapies like osteopathic and chiropractic manipulation and acupuncture. As FxMed’s Clinical Education Manager, she aims to provide healthcare professionals with efficient, leading-edge resources for delivering exceptional patient care.

The field of pathology is a treasure trove of clinical connections, holding the keys to understanding the driving factors behind disease states and the manifestations of signs and symptoms. However, a crucial question lingers: Are we fully leveraging the potential of the conventional blood tests that patients often already undergo? Embark with us on a transformative summit in Brisbane, as we proudly welcome you to our first educational conference in a decade, "Mastering Pathology: Connecting Patterns with Presentation". Our eminent lineup of internationally recognised speakers includes keynote presenter Dr Olivia Lesslar who will explore the concept of psychoneuroimmunology as a return to the ancient wisdom that understood the interconnectedness of body systems and the foundational tenets of health in disease prevention.
Also among the cast of distinguished speakers is leading Australian allergist Professor Pete Smith; internationally acclaimed naturopathic doctor Lara Briden; thyroid expert naturopath Tara Nelson; international nephrologist Dr Patana Teng-umnuay; cancer expert naturopath Dr Janet Schloss; diabetes focussed GP Dr Gary Deed; nutritional biochemist Dr Rhona Creegan; well respected integrative GP Dr Charlotte Middleton; naturopath and breathwork expert Mim Beim and well known naturopath and food as medicine advocate Janella Purcell.
Join this esteemed group for two days of insightful discussions, interactive sessions, and knowledge exchange, as we collectively strive to unlock the full potential of conventional pathology. Together, we will unravel the intricacies of disease patterns, decode clinical connections, and bridge the gap between test results and effective patient care.
