2020-03-03 19:00 - 21:00 | Online, Ireland
HOW TO START A MAILING LIST FOR YOUR NUTRITION BUSINESS
This seminar is for you if:

You’re not getting much traction or enquiries through social media
You’ve heard a mailing list is important but the technology scares you
You know a mailing list is essential but you don’t know what to send
You think you’re going to make the wrong decision about which provider to go with
Your business isn’t bringing in the clients you want

In this seminar we will:

Understand the importance of a mailing list – because guess what? Social media can disappear or change at any time. You’ll leave knowing the true value reaching your audience in a way that you control

Learn to deliver freebies and lead magnets – no-one signs up to a mailing list these days without a damn good reason. I’ll show you exactly how to deliver freebies and get signs ups all in one automated move

Design a nurture sequence that draws people in – automating a series of emails that feels natural, welcoming, informative, packed with value and opens up the invitation to work with you more closely

Write emails that move people to action – I’ll show you how to craft your emails for maximum impact and response from your audience, so they’re buying, reading and taking action on what you’re telling them

Overcome the mindset blocks holding you back – whether it’s tech overwhelm, fear of bugging people with your mails or a total block on the freebie you should offer, I’m here to help. In a live setting with like-minded business owners we can help and support each other

2’-Fucosyllactose (2FL) – the crucial role of a trisaccharide found in human milk
2020-03-05 10:30 - 11:30 | Online, Ireland
2’-Fucosyllactose (2FL) – the crucial role of a trisaccharide found in human milk
Good health starts in the gut, and when gut health has been identified as a key area to address, some people will respond quickly to targeted interventions, including dietary change, the use of fermented foods, supplementation with beneficial bacteria and gut healing nutrients. Yet others do not respond as you might expect, and there seems to be a missing link when targeted changes fail to result in improvements.

Mieke Van Den Driessche will take a closer look at an underlying genetic polymorphism, estimated to affect around 20% of the population, which may help to explain why some people don’t respond to targeted interventions; and will introduce 2’-Fucosyllactose, a trisaccharide found naturally in human milk and now produced via fermentation for use in supplement form, that may provide the missing nutritional link for many.

Mieke Van Den Driessche is a doctor of Biomedical Sciences, a title she obtained at the University of Louvain in December 2001. Five years earlier, she obtained the degree of Master in Nutrition and Dietetics and in 1993, she graduated in biochemistry with a major in biotechnology. During her doctorate, Mieke was a research assistant at the department of Paediatric Gastroenterology & Nutrition. Mieke Van Den Driessche is appointed Science Director at Metagenics Europe. She is responsible for all scientific aspects of the company management concerning communication, applications and trainings, quality control, R&D and Regulatory Affairs.

Is our approach to gut health wrong?
We are part of a complex, symbiotic biological ecosystem and have co-evolved to survive within it – ‘rooted’ into our biological environment.
Chris zooms in on our key mediating ‘biological interface’, the gut, particularly the microbiome. Are we in danger of being too specific about gut pathogens, and should we reframe our approach to a more ecological one, that takes account of co-evolution and co-metabolism?
Is SIBO a false diagnosis in search of a population?

It has been known for decades that GI micro-organisms are involved in the bio-transformation of xeno-biotics, with this in mind we can consider it an organ of detoxification, but with an emergingknowledge of toxic exposure altering the microbiome, are we challenging the ability of this “organ” to effectively handle the growing burden of environmental insult.

Speakers:
ELIZMA LAMBERT NATUROPATH/HOMEOPATHCLINICIAN/EDUCATOR
Elizma is both a qualified naturopath and homeopath with close to 15 years’ experience. Her special interests lie in functional diagnostics, nutrigenomics and cellular dysfunction but she always takes a generalist approach in her clinical practice and teaching.
Elizma has gained international recognition as an industry expert when it comes to functional test interpretations, including organic acids, and ‘connecting the dots’ between biochemistry, genetics and symptoms in complex health conditions as well as enhanced performance, affectionately earning her the nickname ‘The OAT whisperer’.
By looking at all chronic disease as a shift in biochemical processes due to the ‘cell danger response’, Elizma treats a wide variety of chronic illnesses, but also sees many fertility and preconception clients who want to optimise pregnancy by looking at genetic polymorphisms and the expression of these genes.
Pete Williams – M.Med.Sci, CSCS, IFM Certified Practitioner, Bredesen trained practitioner.
Founder of Functional Medicine Associates Pete is an exercise and medical scientist with an expertise in applying “Systems Biology” to chronic disease. In 2013 he was in the first cohort (worldwide) to be awarded Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner status and has represented the Institute for Functional Medicine as a Clinical Innovator.
Pete has had over 20 years of experience applying Functional Medicine in clinical practice. Over the last 5 years he and his team have become increasingly interested in brain health, cognitive decline and neuroinflammation, with an interest in border control, genetics, microbiome and the “exposome”
He is increasingly helping corporates understand a “systems biology” approach to wellness and advising organisations to better understand where their products may fit in this changing world of healthcare or whether a health product is worth investing in.
