Urinary Tract Infections with Camille
A training for practitioners with Camille Freeman
Recorded in March 2026
Class Description
In this class, we explored urinary tract infections (UTIs) through a thorough review of relevant physiology and pathophysiology, focusing on bladder health and the development/progression of urinary tract infections. We discussed evidence-informed clinical strategies including nutritional support, herbal interventions, supplements to consider (and avoid), and lifestyle factors that can support clients who have acute or chronic UTIs. This session emphasized practical applications that are relevant for busy clinicians.
By the end of the session, you'll be able to:
Describe the anatomy and physiology of the urinary tract relevant to infection development and resolution.
Explain common pathophysiological mechanisms involved in urinary tract infections.
Identify evidence-informed dietary, nutritional, and lifestyle interventions that support urinary tract health.
Evaluate and apply appropriate herbal and supplement options for prevention and management of UTIs.
Discuss safety considerations and client-specific factors when recommending integrative therapies for UTI care.
