AIHM Wellness Webinar | NAM | Achieving Whole Health: A New Approach for Veterans and the Nation AIHM - Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine 2023-06-30 | Whole health is physical, behavioral, spiritual, and socioeconomic well-being as defined by individuals, families, and communities. To achieve this, whole health care is an interprofessional, team-based approach anchored in trusted longitudinal relationships to promote resilience, prevent disease, and restore health. Whole health care addresses the social and structural determinants at the root of poor health. It shifts the focus from a reactive disease-oriented medical care system to one that prioritizes disease prevention, health, and well-being. The person, not their symptoms, is at the center of whole health care. Join members of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine committee that co-authored the recent report, Achieving Whole Health: A New Approach for Veterans and the Nation for a webinar to hear about how the country can move towards a system of whole person health that is accessible to all.

Since then, she has served as a subject matter expert, consultant, and investigator for research on yoga and other integrative health practices. Her research has been funded by NIH, the Arthritis Foundation, the American College of Rheumatology, and Johns Hopkins University, and she has received numerous awards for her research and scholarship.

AIHM Webinar | Astounding Successes Using Gene Therapies - Dan Handley, MS, PhD - Part 3 of 3 AIHM - Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine 2021-11-05 | Long considered essentially science fiction, the therapeutic alteration of genes has now been proven to be a practical and viable solution to treating serious inherited health conditions. There has been preliminary success using gene therapies to treat or cure such diseases as sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis, X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency, beta-thalassemia, some blood cancers, and many more conditions once thought intractable. Many of these therapies are currently in clinical trials for approval for widespread use. In this session, you will learn the basic strategies for performing gene therapy, the new technologies that enable them, how the procedures are performed, remaining limitations and challenges, and examples of successful use of some of these procedures. It is useful for the healthcare practitioner to know what therapies currently show the greatest promise, how these therapies work, and what new developments are now on the horizon to expect to become more widely available.Dr. Handley serves as Professor, Director of the Clinical and Translational Genome Research Institute (CTGRI), and Director of the Master of Science in Human Genetics and Genomics degree program at the Southern California University of Health Sciences in Whittier, California.

AIHM Wellness Webinar | Eating the Rainbow with Dr. Deanna Minich AIHM - Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine 2021-08-20 | Eating the Rainbow: The Science of Colorful, Plant-based Food and Practical Strategies with Dr. Deanna Minich, MS, PhD, FACN, CNS, IFMCPOver the past decades, thousands of published studies have amassed supporting recommendations to consume fruits and vegetables for physiological and psychological health. Newer research has emerged to suggest that these plant-based foods contain a plethora of not only vitamins and minerals, but perhaps, most importantly, phytonutrients. These phytonutrients have known pleiotropic effects on cellular structure and function, ultimately resulting in the modulation of protein kinases and subsequent epigenetic modification in a manner that leads to improved outcomes. Even though eating fruits and vegetables is a well-known feature of a healthy dietary pattern, population intakes continue to be below federal recommendations. To encourage consumers to include fruits and vegetables into their diet, an “eat by color” approach is proposed in this presentation. Although each individual food may have numerous effects based on its constituents, the goal of this simplified approach was to identify general patterns of benefits based on the preponderance of scientific data and known mechanisms of food-based constituents. It is suggested that such a consumer-oriented categorization of these plant-based foods may lead to greater recognition of their importance in the daily diet throughout the lifespan. Other adjunctive strategies to heighten awareness of fruits and vegetables are discussed.Objectives:To learn the science to support the inclusion of plant-based foods for reducing chronic disease riskTo understand how the colors of plant foods coincide with their functionality in the bodyTo apply concepts learned from the benefits of eating plant foods into clinical practiceDr. Deanna Minich is a nutrition researcher, educator, and functional medicine-trained clinician with a unique approach to nutrition that combines physiology and psychology. She has served on the Institute of Functional Medicine’s Nutrition Advisory Board and curriculum committee, in addition to being a faculty member, teaching nutrition for the Advanced Practice Module for Environmental Health. She currently serves on the Board of Directors for the American Nutrition Association and is President of the American College of Nutrition. Her academic background is in nutritional science, including a Master’s Degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Illinois at Chicago (1995), and a Ph.D. in Medical Sciences (Nutrition) from the University of Groningen in The Netherlands (1999). She is a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition and a Certified Nutrition Specialist. Dr. Minich has over twenty years of experience working in both the food and dietary supplement industries, and has more than forty published scientific articles in journals such as Nutrients, Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, and Nutrition Reviews. She teaches for the graduate program (MS) in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine at the University of Western States and serves as advisor to various food, academic and health organizations. She is the author of six books on nutrition, wellness, and psychology, and is passionate in helping others to live well using therapeutic lifestyle changes. Visit her at: www.deannaminich.com
AIHM Wellness Webinar | Longevity & Healthspan Medicine: A New Paradigm in Medicine AIHM - Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine 2021-08-04 | Longevity & Healthspan Medicine: A New Paradigm in Medicine Aging is a major risk factor for the leading causes of death in the United States, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, lower respiratory infections, stroke, and Alzheimer's disease. Yet, we do not act on aging because it is considered a non-modifiable risk factor. Since advances in geroscience have fundamentally changed our understanding of the pathophysiology of the aging process, what if we are wrong? What if by viewing aging as a central and modifiable component of disease we are able to better treat and manage chronic conditions better but also increase healthspan and longevity? Ryan A.

AIHM Wellness Webinar | Probiotics and Mood: Optimizing the Gut-Brain Connection AIHM - Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine 2021-05-24 | Dr. Sylvie Shuttleworth, PhD, & Dr. Baljit Khamba, ND, MPH - Probiotics and Mood: Optimizing the Gut-Brain ConnectionSociety has often focused on the brain as being the sole influencer of our mood. More recent research has been exploring the added connection of our gut as an important contributor to emotions. This gut-brain duality has confirmed that the gut acts as a ‘second brain’ creating similar biochemical properties that can affect our mental health. Thus, what we eat communicates to our brain and impacts our mood. Specifically, the gut has the ability to create messaging signals that can communicate with the brain. Those messaging signals are created not just by the foods consumed, but also by the environment of the digestive system itself.Sylvie P. Shuttleworth, PhDDr. Shuttleworth received her PhD in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology in San Diego, CA. She has served as a therapist at San Diego State University, University of San Diego, and also the Preuss School at the University of California San Diego campus.
