Speaker: Uche Odiatu, BA, DMD
Recommended for: Everyone
Our patients don’t leave their stressful jobs, poor sleeping patterns (insomnia, apnea, snoring), physical fitness (or lack of) or eating patterns (mindless eating and evening feeding frenzies) in the car before they sit in our chair. There’s irrefutable scientific evidence that these habits can ramp up inflammation or dial it down. Well adjusted, rested, physically active, healthy eating patients enjoy a physiology that supports a better response to our prevention/restorative interventions. In this high-energy afternoon program, be prepared to have your hair blown back.
Course Objectives:
- Discover how eating habits can dial down or ramp inflammation and how it affects your treatment outcomes
- Learn why it’s important to identify the sleep-deprived patient (not just apnea) right away at the new patient exam
- Understand why your sedentary patients don’t heal as well as your active living patients. ALERT: 85% of your patients lead sedentary lives
- Gain greater insight into the relationship between chronic inflammation & disease
