The most significant event in Natural Medicine now presented annually due to Practitioner demand

The organising committee of the International Congress on Natural Medicine is delighted to extend to you this invitation to the most important educational event for the Australian and New Zealand Natural Medicine Industry in 2010. You have the opportunity to join with the finest Practitioners and update your knowledge and skills, learning from internationally recognised researchers and clinicians. Congress provides a rare opportunity to learn directly from the opinion leaders that are shaping the future of Natural Medicine practice.

Due to overwhelming demand, Congress is now an annual event and the 2010 program marks the seventh meeting. Each Congress has produced memorable presentations which have had lasting impacts on the way Natural Medicine is practiced today. Continuing this success, 2010 will once again provide a rich and fertile mixture of important research, clinical insights, inspiring presenters that will invigorate your passion for practice and opportunities for networking and reconnecting with colleagues from around the world.

Join us for this special opportunity to remain at the cutting edge of Natural Medicine practice, and to share in the mutual exchange of knowledge, friendship and fun.

Congress Themes

Strategies For Successful Fat Loss And Weight Management
With many Western countries now reporting adult overweight and obesity levels above 60%, there can be no doubt that the number one issue facing healthcare in the coming decades will be the epidemic of obesity and its attendant afflictions. Breakthroughs in the understanding of appetite regulation, thermogenesis and the role of gut-derived signaling peptides create new possibilities for successful treatment strategies. In addition, previously unknown connections between the gut microbiota and low grade inflammatory signaling, obesity, visceral fat accumulation and metabolic disorders will be explored.

Disorders Of Western Diet And Lifestyle
Following closely in the shadows of the epidemic of obesity is the multitude of diseases of Western diet and lifestyle. Learn from leading researchers who are untangling the complex web of endocrine interactions that lead to the rapidly increasing prevalence of Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Metabolic Syndrome, dementia and infertility. Almost unknown in non-westernised populations, these disorders share many common central features that are amenable to correctly designed dietary and lifestyle protocols.

Nutritional Strategies For Optimal Ageing
For the first time, science has identified interventions which reliably reduce or delay many of the diseases of ageing in animal models. The same interventions have been shown to allow organisms to extend their healthy lifespan to well beyond the typical lifespans enjoyed by controls. Several metabolic pathways that show the most promise for maximising healthy lifespan can be influenced by straightforward dietary and lifestyle strategies. They also respond strongly to polyphenols from a plant-rich diet, many exerting a hormetic effect increasing the transcription of genes coding for intracellular antioxidants, chaperones and mitochondrial proliferation. Congress will explore the role of natural clinical interventions in the management of chronic disease and ageing in human populations.
