Description: This intensive gives us wide ranging insights into the specific herbs, botanical formulas and nutritional compounds that can:
- Enhance and sustain energy and endurance and reduce fatigue
- Manage anabolic states to gain lean muscle and reduce body fat.
- Shorten recovery and reduce the buildup of toxic waste substances, inflammation, and the oxidative stress.
- Improve overall health and well being, giving support to the heart, liver, kidneys, immune and digestive systems.
- Aid in stress resistance and build stress defense. Stress is a major contributor to diminished performance and injury.

Title: Natural Treatment of Prostate Conditions: Blending Western Herbal Practice, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy
Date: Starting Sunday, May 19, 2024
Time: On demand streaming video
Place: Available on any internet-connected device

Continuing Education: 4 hours to be submitted for naturopathic physicians, acupuncturists, nursing and other health professionals
Description: Prostate problems are extremely common and highly amenable to natural prevention and treatment.
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is experienced by the majority of men to varying degrees. We discuss how to assess the severity and type of BPH, choosing the most appropriate therapeutics, including when it is necessary to use drugs or refer for surgery (including what types of surgery are best).
- Chronic prostatitis and pelvic pain are also extremely common, but little discussed. We review various theories of how these conditions arise, and especially debunk the widespread belief that infections always underlie this condition.
- We will then review prostate cancer. We start with a condition that doesn’t really have a name but is currently mislabeled as low-grade, localized prostate cancer. This unnamed condition especially will be addressed with an eye toward avoiding the vast overtreatment that currently occurs in conventional medicine. Next we delve into established prostate cancer and the power of a combination of natural and conventional therapies, including the many new conventional options for focal (vs. prostate- or even pelvis-wide) treatment.
- Finally we discuss issues around the prostate in trans feminine people who still have prostates.
- Case studies are used as illustrations throughout.
