Brendan Vermeire – MASTERING Neuroinflammation and Neuroplasticity

File size: 1.65 GB

7 hr Advanced Practitioner Training

• How to decrease the neuroinflammation that causes Mental Health Dysfunction
• Learn how to regenerate and rewire the brain through Neuroplasticity
• Help your clients and patients get unstuck in their healing journey

and why you need to understand both to help your clients and patients overcome their struggles.

Neuroinflammation & Neuroplasticity

• Research has clearly demonstrated that Inflammation and Excitotoxicity are the driving forces behind Mental Illness and Neurodegeneration.
• The ‘Neurotrophic Hypothesis of Depression’ has become the leading theory in Mental Health Research.
• Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor and Neuroplasticity are crucial factors in the healing of the Central Nervous System.
• Microglia, the residential immune cells of the CNS, have become the focal point of Mental Health Research due to their crucial role in regulating the neuroinflammatory and excitotoxic cascade, while profoundly impacting Neuroplasticity.
• ‘Microglial Activation Syndrome’ is the common underlying ‘root cause’ in Mental Illness and Neurodegeneration.

Hour 1: The Mental Health Pandemic

Hour 2: The Molecular Mechanisms of ‘Microglial Activation Syndrome’ and Neuroplasticity

Hour 3: Understanding the many factors that contribute to Neuroinflammation (Diabetes, Gut-Brain axis dysfunction, among others)

Hour 4-5: Navigating and conquering ‘Microglial Activation Syndrome’

Hour 6: The best testing, critical thinking, coaching, and supplemental strategies

Hour 7: Client case study

Check out what people are saying from the last workshop…

What stood out to me about Brendan’s workshop on the Organic Acids Test was the fact that such a simple test could contain so much information about a person. After attending the workshop, I knew I wanted to take the course.
I came to believe that this is a valuable test that I could offer to my clients at a reasonable price. The workshop gave me an understanding of the OAT test, the amount and kind of information it gives, and helped me me have an understanding of how to use it better with clients. – Veronica W. FDN-P

Brendan has a great, relaxed teaching style and he’s able to breakdown complex subject matter in an understandable and actionable way. He includes many clinical pearls and insights as he goes step by step through each marker on the lab test.
Organic Acid Testing always seemed mysterious, complex and confusing to me but after attending the workshop and then diving into the advanced course, I feel like I have another great tool to use to identify and correlate underlying stressors. – Denny H. FDN-P

My biggest takeaway from the workshop was how valuable OAT testing can be to see what’s occurring metabolically inside the body as concrete outputs, versus intermediate processes shown in other forms of testing.
This workshop benefited my clients by giving me a wider perspective on how to use specific types of functional lab testing, including OAT, blood chemistry, chemical and molds, and stool testing, in efficient ways for both money invested and relevance of clinical insights. – Chad G. FDN-P

I was grateful to take Brendan’s advanced guide to OATS workshop. Brendan is a great presenter offering deep insight into how all the moving parts come together to tell a story. I learned how to look at the overall patterns of results and not just the individual markers. Just by attending the 4 hour lecture I walked away with several pearls to better support, correlate and educate my clients on the contributing factors to their overall symptoms so they can use the information to regain their optimal health. – Carla A.
