Agenda
How to break the hormone-weight gain connection
By Dr Cherry Wills
Peri menopause, menopause, andropause and thyroid problems
can often translate into unwanted, weight gain that is unresponsive to exercise
or calorie restriction. Cherry will explain how to plan and coach these
clients, to get them back to their happy weight.
How to optimise the microbiome for appetite regulation
By Rhian Jones
Insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver disease can all be mitigated via effective microbiome support. Rhian will explain how specific gut microbes and their metabolites impact metabolic pathways such as GLP-1, and why supporting the microbiome can improve weight regulation, appetite hormones and metabolic health
The systemic effects of Ozempic and other
weight loss drugs
Debbie Grayson
An increasing number of clients are now considering,
using or quitting weight loss medications. Debbie will explain what these
medications are doing to the rest of the body, and how to support your client
during and after weight loss drug use.
Weight control enzymes and inhibitors
By Leyla El Moudden
Weight control supplements often inhibit target pancreatic
enzymes to encourage fat loss, whereas other enzymes appear to rapidly accelerate metabolism, and even clear fat from the liver. This talk will cover what enzymes do, and how to effectively use them to support a healthy metabolism.
How to target ‘belly fat’
By Karen Jones
Visceral fat is metabolically active, and therefore
highly responsive to the right intervention. I will explain how to trigger the meltdown of visceral flat, and shed a stubborn belly.
