You’re pouring hours into writing blogs and making videos that barely get seen
You’ve drawn a blank when it comes to key words and understanding how search engines work

In this seminar you’ll learn:
+ How to drive more traffic to your website so your content gets found (with no plugins, add-ons or fancy tech that costs the earth)

+ Why blogging is so critical to getting found (and how to make sure your blog posts are ideal reading for your customers)
+ What you’re looking at in Google Analytics (because there is a simple explanation to all those graphs, I promise!)
+ SEO and why it’s not so scary (because despite what everyone sells you on the internet, it’s actually frighteningly straightforward)

BioCare - ‘Rooted’ - Exploring Our ‘Ecological Interface’- Dublin Practitioner event
2019-11-15 10:00 - 15:00 | Our Lady’s Hospice, Harold's Cross, Dublin, Dublin, D6W RY72, Ireland
‘Rooted’ – Exploring Our ‘Ecological Interface’ Dublin Practitioner Event

With the BioCare Clinical Nutrition Team (Chris Newbold, Marta Anhelush & Emily Blake)
We are integrated into a complex ecosystem and have evolved to survive within it – ‘rooted’ into our biological environment, like a plant thriving within the earth. Our adaptation to bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi and other potential biological antigens is mediated by our complex, highly developed immune system and barrier interfaces including the gut and lungs. However, this complex relationship is fragile and susceptible to dysfunction. In this seminar we take a comprehensive overview of how we maintain immune harmony, and what happens when it goes wrong. We begin by examining immune surveillance, tolerance, the process of inflammation, regulation, autoimmunity and allergy. Then we zoom in on our key mediating ‘biological interface’, the gut, particularly the microbiome, essential to many aspects of health. This comprehensive overview incorporates a range of key nutritional and lifestyle protocols you can use in clinical practice, based around the ‘Adaptive Health’ approach and using real case study examples. Case studies include inflammation and allergic response and gut dysfunction/SIBO.
THIS IS A PRACTITIONER ONLY EVENT.
Venue: Our Lady’s Hospice, Harold’s Cross, Dublin 6W

Susi Lodola – Bio:
Susi Lodola holds a Higher Diploma in Psychology (level 8) and a BA (hons) in Linguistics, from UCD, a BA in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy from IICP College (Dublin), and is currently in her final year of an MSc in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy & Motivational Interviewing from WIT.

Through extensive studies in Psychology, Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and her own incredible weight loss and fitness journey, Susi has a professional and personal interest in helping people achieve a healthy lifestyle and lose weight. She developed the MIND OVER BODY weight loss programme to help people stay motivated, deal with triggers, stop the inner voice that sabotages weight loss and put an end to emotional eating.
This programme and work shop are not intended to deal with eating disorders, it is intended to work with people who are struggling to lose weight and lack motivation, have to overcome emotional eating and learn various cognitive and behavioural skills to help them achieve sustainable weight loss. CBT has been identified by the NICE guidelines as an integral part of treating obesity alongside healthy nutrition and exercise.
For interested attendees there is also an opportunity to become members of the forthcoming MIND OVER BODY WEIGHT MANAGEMENT Network, which is going to be promoted in the media over the coming months.
