Course Description and Objectives
This informative 4-hour seminar is designed to educate the healthcare professional in
understanding how hormones can have a dramatic impact on our immunological tolerance to
food proteins. The latest literature on the mechanisms and leading theories on how tolerance for
food proteins can include a complex interplay involving the endocrine system and intestinal
immune reactivity will be presented. Also this seminar will help healthcare professionals in
understanding clinical strategies to differentiate and recognize food sensitivities, allergies, and
intolerances. A comprehensive review of the latest literature on the mechanisms leading to
various types of food allergies and sensitivities and the direct impact on neuroendocrine
immunology will also be presented.
A review of human physiology will be followed by laboratory findings, applications, differential
diagnoses, and clinical applications (including dietary, lifestyle, and nutritional support) from an
evidence-based approach/model, and when to refer for further consultation and/or evaluation.
Important clinical jewels and insights will also be discussed.
Upon completion of this seminar, attendees will be able to:
 Understand immunological principles of tolerance to dietary proteins and how insulin
surges and thyroid and adrenal hormones impact food sensitivity
 Have a basic understanding of the role of reproductive hormones, such as estrogen,
progesterone, and testosterone, on food sensitivity
 Understand the different types of adverse food reactions, such as food allergies, food
intolerances, food sensitivities, and immune-mediated, non-immune–mediated, and toxinbased reactions
 Understand the connection between oral tolerances and both food proteins and foodinduced pathologies
 Understand practitioner tips and insights into dietary, lifestyle, and nutritional support
strategies for health maintenance from an evidence-based approach/model and identify
cases that need to be referred for further consultation and/or evaluation
