Joint, Thyroid & Gut Health in Women: Addressing Underlying Immunological Factors‡
Presented by: Felice Gersh, M.D.+
Wednesday, October 18, 2017
A woman’s immune system differs from that of a man, and these differences can affect tolerance of self-tissue. During pregnancy, immunity is suppressed to tolerate fetal tissue; after menopause, immune-balancing hormone levels decline. In clinical practice, women comprise up to 80% of cases of immune-related joint, connective tissue, thyroid and gut health. In this webinar, award-winning integrative gynecologist Felice Gersh, M.D.+, will discuss the etiology of these common clinical presentations, and which assessment methods, lifestyle changes and nutritional modalities are most valuable in promoting tissue tolerance and systemic immune balance.‡
Learning Objectives:
- Review sex differences in immune function and how this relates to clinical care‡
- Understand estrogen’s influence on immune balance and the associated implications of pregnancy and menopause‡
- Learn how sleep cycle and meal timing strategies along with key nutritional modalities can make a profound difference in immune homeostasis‡
