Practical & Clinically-Applicable Strategies for Comprehensive NT Testing and Optimization

Описание: Presented by Lylen Ferris, ND | February 7, 2024


Learning Objectives:

1. Review general treatment concepts for optimizing neurotransmitter (NT) levels

2. Discuss typical clinical presentations of individual neurotransmitter deficiencies and elevations

3. Understand the physiology of neurotransmitter NT secretion and metabolism in order to support these processes to balance NT levels without the use of prescription medications

4. Become familiar with genetic and lifestyle factors that influence NT levels

5. Learn to incorporate NT evaluation and treatment in your practice utilizing either the Neurobasic profile or the Comprehensive Neurotransmitter Profile
