Successful Aging: Lifestyle Medicine Protocols for a Vital Brain, Heart & Metabolism

It’s likely that almost everyone, at some point in their lives, becomes concerned with the quality of their lives as they age. Of course, we all age, which is why there is no such thing as an “anti-aging” protocol. However, there are therapeutic lifestyle changes to prepare us for the best possible health outcomes, or “successful aging.”

Join Dr. Deanna Minich to learn how lifestyle medicine and nutritional therapy protocols provide the keys to successful aging.

The goal of this seminar is to focus on essential therapeutic concepts to approach adrenal and male
hormone health and imbalances in a natural, non-invasive and effective manner. Practitioners will learn
to “follow the physiology”, and identify the source of the endocrine dysfunction in order to provide a
safe solution for the patient.

Learn how to differentiate the phases of adrenal stress (alarm phase, prolonged stress-
response/resistance phase, and exhaustion phase), which are symptomatically similar,
yet require different strategies to resolve.

• Stress Management
• Inflammation Management
• Blood Sugar Management
• Fluid Balance
• Immune Support

Learn nutritional and herbal protocols, diet and lifestyle changes that powerfully assist the
body for each condition presented. Attention is given to whole-food vitamins, minerals,
phytonutrients, glandulars, cytosols, protomorphogens, and herbs.
