Dr. Ciara Wright: Long Covid; An Opportunity for Root-Cause Functional Medicine Video

How do multiple modalities and disciplines work together to improve patient care? Dr. Sally Moorcroft shares her journey into integrative and functional medicine, and as both an experienced clinician and teacher, sheds light on this model of care and how it can serve patients with a particular focus on her area of speciality; women's health. The interview touches on topics such as menopause, the microbiome, and complex hormonal and endocrine conditions, including endometriosis, and how these are viewed through the lense of integrative medicine.

Why is the role of food and nutrients so often underappreciated or overlooked in mental health care when it has the potential to transform lives? Professor Julia Rucklidge has challenged this question through her pioneering research and advocacy on nutrition and mental health across developmental, behavioural and psychiatric fields. We explore the evolution of her work, its implications, and the challenges of integrating nutrition into mainstream mental health care. She also shares the remarkable findings of the NUTRIMUM Trial, examining the impact of nutrition during pregnancy on maternal mental health and child development.

We are speaking with Dr Felice Gersh about some of her recently published work on glucose and insulin metabolism and how a better understanding and appreciation of insulin can help with early detection and improve the management of female health concerns with a particular focus on health through menopause. Topics include a deep dive into an integrative approach to women's health and hormones as well as important nutritional considerations including time restricted eating, plant-focused diets and the microbiome. This interview is rich in clinical pearls for your practice.

Sometimes we are privileged enough to engage in conversations with sages that, through experience and time, have arrived at profound and novel realisations that challenge our world view. This is one of those conversations. Professor Mark L Wahlqvist has been involved in paradigm sifts in nutrition and medicine, including but not limited to the discovery of foods phytoestrogenic effects, the inflammatory basis of macrovascular disease, and the relationship between food patterns, dietary diversity and health outcomes. We explore his pioneering work and the larger themes of the interconnected relationship between human health, diet, regional ecosystems (eco nutrition) and cosmology (quantum nutrition).
