We will be joined by Doctor Jennifer Coomes, DCN, the Executive Director of Essence Health & Research (EH&R). Dr. Coomes will cover the foundational criteria of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) while sharing innovative research on this mental health condition regarding its metabolic components that mimic conditions like Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and Diabetes, thereby increasing risk for these conditions and other chronic diseases. Participants will learn more about these essential connections, the potential gaps in pre-trauma, peri-trauma, and post-trauma care, blood lab assessments, and important therapies to consider from a metabolic, clinical nutrition, and natural therapy approach to help prevent and solve metabolic imbalances that can perpetuate PTSD into a deteriorating condition. This webinar is designed to give hope and innovative approaches for PTSD care from an integrative approach to help prevent and reduce the progression of PTSD for abuse and trauma survivors.
