The 2018 Nutritional Therapy Association conference, Live Nourished, will include two Lunch & Learn Sessions, one from James Doherty, Director of INNATE Response, and the other from Parker Sing, NTP and Melanie Figeley, NTP, of Biotics Research NW. Grab your lunch and join us for one of these sessions! James Doherty, Director of INNATE Response, will be presenting Nutritional Triage. This talk delves into the scientific findings on the impact of nutrient depletion and explores how such dietary deficiencies can be counterbalanced. Our physiology has developed a rationing response to shortages of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) throughout evolution. When cells run out of a vitamin or mineral, that scarce micronutrient is allotted to proteins (in the body) essential for short-term survival. Proteins needed for long-term health, including those that protect DNA, lose out and become disabled leading to aging. This thought provoking presentation will review this study, the implications of these findings and uncover solutions to solve potential gaps in the diet based on these findings.
