Description
A4M and Metagenics have partnered to host a not-to-be-missed event, exploring the drivers and root causes of fatigue. Featuring world-renowned Functional Medicine expert Dr. Andrew Heyman, along with one of Australia’s leading naturopaths—Amina Eastham-Hillier—this two-day event will showcase the latest cutting-edge research and clinical interventions surrounding patients with chronic fatigue. Gain clinical insight from industry leaders on the most recently emerging evidence, and learn how fatigue is not only a simple energy deficiency, but also driven by underlying pathologies including thyroid and HPA axis dysfunction, mast cell activation, stealth infection, and biotoxin illness. Attendees will leave the event armed with practical, applicable hands-on knowledge & tools: enabling them to create life-changing results for patients presenting with fatigue.
