Abstract
In this webinar, Dr Jennifer Stagg describes her experience seeing patients who have conditions that involve chronic inflammation and the solutions she uses to manage the underlying inflammation and the condition itself. We know that chronic inflammation is caused by obesity, poor lifestyle, and aging and is associated with a variety of conditions that lead to arthritis, cancer, atherosclerosis, neurological diseases, and insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. The first step in the process to see if SPMs are an appropriate therapy for a particular patient is assessment. Providers can measure clinically relevant biomarkers of inflammation like hsCRP, TNF-alpha, Ferritin, ESR, and Fibrinogen. Patients might also measure their quality of life by taking a brief pain inventory, such as the American Chronic Pain Association Quality of Life Scale. Dr Stagg's findings show reductions in proinflammatory markers, pain scores, and improvements in pain-related quality of life

Abstract
This presentation by Dr. Cory Rice is entitled “Specialized Pro-resolving Mediators in Real World Clinical Practice.” This is part of our peer-to-peer knowledge sharing series. Incorporating SPMs in clinical practice for patients with chronic disease, particularly those who need nutritional support for lifestyle medicine. Dr. Rice also provides several patient case studies in which he describes how SPMs have provided improved health outcomes to his patients. As we know, many chronic health conditions are associated with underlying inflammation. SPMs activate the resolution pathway of inflammation so that treatments can be focused on the symptoms of the specific disease.

Abstract
In this webinar Jennifer Stagg, ND presents an overview of the use of SPMs in clinical practice. Her research shows that the use of SPMs bring about an effective resolution response to chronic and acute inflammation. Dr Stagg presents the causes of most inflammation in both young and old and the symptoms that are associated with its disease pathogenesis. Recorded at the AANP Pre-Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah at the 2016 American Association of Naturopathic Physicians Annual Convention & Exhibition.

Abstract
Ryan Lazarus, DC contrasts conventional vs. Functional Medicine approaches in the treatment of chronic inflammation, one of the most common chemical imbalances patients are facing today. Chronic inflammation exerts deleterious systemic effects in the body and is linked to most chronic diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases, pain and energy disorders, gut dysfunction, autoimmunity and allergies, cancer, and aging. Dr. Lazarus describes major biochemical and nutritional players involved in the two distinct phases of inflammation—initiation and resolution. He shares clinical scenarios that can impair patients’ ability to resolve inflammation and describes strategic modalities to help resolve inflammation, namely a superfamily of lipid mediators known as specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs).

Oral hygiene and COVID-19 is there a link? with Dr. Victoria Sampson
EMS is one of the leading manufacturers of precision medical devices for dental prophylaxis, orthopaedics, and urology.
2021
Abstract
Dr. Victoria Sampson is an award-winning functional dentist whose findings have been published in both the British Dental Journal and Nature in April 2020. Through her work, she unveils the staggering statistics that link poor oral health and gum disease to increased risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease, and severe Covid-19 development. Through this interview, we learn how periodontal disease causes systemic inflammation, producing high levels of inflammatory markers which are also elevated in Covid-19 and cardiovascular disease.

The Brain Gut Microbiome Axis (BGM) w/ Dr. Emeran Mayer | MGC. Ep. 32
Dr. Emeran Mayer is the author of the recently released book The Gut-Immune Connection as well as The Mind-Gut Connection. He has studied brain-body interactions for the last forty years and is the executive director of the G. Oppenheimer Center for Neurobiology of Stress and Resilience, and the founding director of the UCLA Brain Gut Microbiome Center at the University of California at Los Angeles.

Abstract
In this episode of the Mind Gut Conversation, Dr Mayer discusses IBS pathophysiology with Jana Hoffman from Mahana Therapeutics. They dive into the topic of the Brain-Gut-Microbiome axis, discussing how each emotional state can trigger a unique plethora of physical symptoms e.g. Depression is associated with specific patterns, such as slow transit, lower bowel peristalsis activity, poor digestion and constipation, while anxiety seems to be causing the opposite kind of physical symptoms. They also discuss how Covid-19 is having a strong psychological impact on people and therefore on their gastrointestinal system.
