LUNCH / Exhibits12:15 p.m. 1:15 p.m. Peta Cohen, MS, RD1:15 p.m. 2:00 p.m. The Systemic and Metabolic Impact of Infection I will describe how infection impacts the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-thyroid-gut-gonadal-immune-cardiovascular axis.I will describe how infection impacts the excitatory-oxidative stress-inflammatory cycle and its impact to methylation and transsulfuration.I will provide take home solutions to arrest these cyclical events and promote the healing process.
