This webinar, written by Dr. Datis Kharrazian, will examine the physiological changes that take place in the endocrine, immune, nervous, and vascular systems with both healthy exercise and overtraining syndrome. We will also discuss immunometabolic mechanisms - such as environment, infection, and food intolerances - and the role they play in your patients and clients who have the inability to lose weight.

You Will Learn:

  • The impact of exercise on brain-derived neurotrophic factor and brain health
  • The positive and negative endocrine shifts that may occur after exercise
  • Information on immunometabolism, including the role the immune system plays in metabolism and obesity
  • When and when not to use exercise as a health strategy for clients
  • Approaches to avoid metabolic overtraining syndrome

The State of 21st Century Acupuncture in the U.S.

Whether you accept it, avoid it or live somewhere in between, insurance coverage has become a defining issue for our profession. Patients increasingly expect to use their benefits, practitioners want to be compensated fairly for their time and expertise, and the system itself remains – at best – fragmented. The encouraging news is that coverage has expanded in meaningful ways. The challenging news is that reimbursement, across the board, remains inadequate.

While the formation of erythema and ecchymosis is an anticipated skin response to cupping therapy, the appearance of post-treatment vesicles remains less discussed in clinical literature. This article presents a case study of vesicle formation following cupping therapy, explores underlying pathophysiology, and offers management guidelines to support practitioners in addressing this phenomenon safely and effectively.

Understanding Facial Spasms and Tics
Understanding Facial Spasms and Tics

Facial movements are essential for communication, expression and function. But when these movements become involuntary, they can lead to conditions that are not only physically uncomfortable, but also socially and emotionally distressing. Today, we’re taking a closer look at three common facial motor disorders – blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm and facial tics – and how both Western medicine and TCM view and treat them.
