Seasonal Allergies: Immune Deep Dive
A training for practitioners with Camille Freeman (1.5 NPCE)
March 10 from 5-6:30 pm ET
What you'll learn:
In this workshop, we explored the causes and symptoms of seasonal allergies, also known as allergic rhinitis. You'll learn more about mechanisms that cause allergic reactions, including the role of environmental triggers such as pollen and mold and the roles of mucosal tissue and immune cells. We discussed the latest research on prevention and management strategies, including thoughts on how to support clients who have seasonal allergies before and during allergy season. We focused on practical lifestyle, supplement, and dietary modifications that can help clients improve their quality of life.
By the end of the session, you'll be able to:
Recognize the key environmental triggers of seasonal allergies and their effects on the immune system.
Explain the physiological mechanisms behind allergic reactions, including the role of histamines and the immune response.
Formulate evidence-based lifestyle and dietary recommendations to help clients who experience allergy symptoms both before and during allergy season.
