Title: "'Leaky Syndrome'- What Is It and How Do You Stop It?"

Synopsis:

This very enlightening session will introduce a new description of the WHY behind systemic inflammation and many chronically deteriorating conditions so common in our Western world. The term "Leaky Gut" is familiar to all of us, but few can explain exactly what it means or how it happens. In this session, you will learn more about leaky gut and how it illustrates a common problem seen in other parts of the body. You will better understand leaky airways, leaky gums, leaky arteries, leaky brains, leaky kidneys & liver as we explore deeper into the human systems, seeking better answers to both WHY and HOW to address prevention and intervention for our patients.

Title: "Advancements in A Functional Approach to Tongue-Tie, Myofunctional, and Tongue Space Issues: Insights from 7 Years of Clinical Research and Practice."

Synopsis:

We invite healthcare providers to engage with the significant developments and discuss the continued evolution of our functional approach to tongue-tie, nasal breathing, oral posture, and tongue space paradigm. Marked by milestones grounded in clinical research, provider education, public awareness, and public health advocacy, together, we will reflect on the collective progress made and consider future directions as we strive to enhance patient outcomes through a comprehensive, functional approach to health. This presentation will empower healthcare providers from different disciplines to recognize and celebrate the progress we have made as a field in recognizing the limitations of modern “medicine” towards a functional approach through root-cause analysis in an integrated, functional approach to health and wellness.
