CPD on-demand | Optimising bone health through diet and lifestyle Optimising bone health through diet and lifestyle Watch the trailer Overview This CPD course... is delivered: As an online on-demand-video from a live course nutritional therapists, nutritionists, dieticians, naturopaths, other health care providers and final year nutrition students interested in applying functional medicine approaches to health and well-being (i.e. exploring how nutrients, other foods and lifestyle factors influence the function of the body and how to apply findings in a person–centred manner that recognises individuals’ unique differences) is with: Lorraine Nicolle spans: 5 hours recording time provides: BANT CPD 5 hours, NNA 5 hours Bone is a living, dynamic tissue, meaning that optimising bone health isn't solely about structure, but also about healthy bone metabolism. And with 50% of women and 20% of men over the age of 50 years expected to break a bone (NOS 2021), the importance of supporting good bone health throughout life should be high on every nutrition practitioner’s agenda. Practitioners are often unaware how to support bone metabolism in addition to bone structure and are unaware of the underlying drivers of unwanted bone loss, particularly chronic inflammation and the many different potential triggers for this. They are also surrounded by contradictory and mis-information about bone health, including for example the risks and benefits of calcium supplementation. This course will use a personalised, systems-biology approach to identify ten key potential antecedents, triggers and mediators driving bone inflammation which can be used to support bone quantity and quality and thereby potentially prevent and manage osteopaenia and osteoporosis and delay the need for drug therapies. It will look at the mechanisms of action underpinning key dietary, lifestyle and nutritional supplement interventions and will highlight what is known about their actual impact from published human studies. Eight different dietary approaches to support bone health will be presented and you will have the chance to apply these to case study vignettes. You will also learn what laboratory tests to consider when assessing structural or metabolic bone health and will be presented with various nutraceutical options and their evidence. ION's courses have a strong reputation for providing evidence-informed education. This course has been structured and designed based on best practice in delivering an effective and interactive online learning experience. Core concepts will be explained and excerpts of case studies will be used to examine interpreting test results and developing recommendations. ION's courses have a strong reputation for providing impartial and evidence-informed education. This course has been structured and designed based on best practice in delivering an effective and interactive online learning experience. Book What will I learn? By the end of the recording you will be able to: Explain the biochemical imbalances that may contribute to unwanted bone loss and be able to evaluate their potential importance in person- specific contexts based on history taking, test results and other forms of evidence. Critically analyse some of the latest research findings, debates and approaches around the management of bone health and the prevention and management of osteopenia and osteoporosis and be able to judge their appropriateness to support personalised recommendations. Critically discuss areas of controversy, fact and fiction in the field of bone health. Critically discuss key dietary recommendations, tests, potential supplements and related approaches around the management of optimal bone health and be able to apply this knowledge to personalised recommendations Critically appraise evidence-informed nutritional approaches for improving bone health , including the use of supplements What will be covered? Session 1: (1 hour 15 minutes) Understanding bone biochemistry: What can typically go wrong and how to use a personalised approach to identify the underlying functional causes of inflammation. Bone biochemistry: Understanding structure and metabolism What can go wrong and why - a focus on osteoporosis and osteopenia Pharmaceutical treatments used in primary care: A brief overview of their mechanism of action, uses and potential side effects Underlying functional imbalances part 1: The science of osteoimmunology: Chronic inflammation as the strongest trigger and mediator of bone loss. Reflection: recap quiz Underlying functional imbalances part 2: Using a personalised, systems-biology approach to identify antecedents, triggers and mediators driving bone inflammation: Catabolism, poor gamma carboxylation, GI dysbiosis, intestinal hyperpermeability, dysfunction of HPA, HPT and/or HPO axes, glycaemic disorders, hypomethylation, acidosis, elevated oxidative stress, loss of immune tolerance. Reflection: recap quiz Session key points Q and A Session 2: (1 hour 30 minutes) Understanding laboratory testing options and creating targeted dietary programmes Underlying functional imbalances to consider when choosing a dietary programme Useful laboratory testing: Bone metabolism biomarkers, functional nutrient status, and labs for bone-related biochemical imbalances. The eight most important dietary factors to consider and the rationale for considering these. A detailed look at anabolic diet, gastrointestinal support, glycaemic control, acid-alkaline balance diet approaches. Reflective exercise: Developing a one-day meal plan that incorporates the dietary factors presented Q and A A detailed look at bone mineralisation, anti-nutrient controlled, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant diet approaches Reflective exercise: Modify your one-day meal plan to incorporate all eight dietary factors Session key points Q and A Session 3: (1 hours 45 minutes) How to identify and deliver appropriate lifestyle advice to complement your dietary advice. How to assess whether a client requires the core bone structural vitamins and minerals Lifestyle advice and when/ how to refer on. Reflection: Lifestyle habits and/or technological aids that can be used to shift physiological pathways involved in stress, sleep, catabolism and inflammation Q and A The evidence for core supplements for structural support and when they are appropriate: Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamins D3 and K2, and trace minerals. Reflection: Case vignette Session key points Q and A Session 4: (1 hour 15 minutes) Exploring the evidence for using key nutraceuticals to optimise bone metabolism. How to assess whether a client requires core bone metabolism nutraceuticals Recap of the biochemical imbalances that can disrupt bone metabolism The evidence for key nutraceuticals to consider and when. Part 1: Specific bioactive collagen peptides, vitamin C, lysine, FOS/inulin. Reflective exercise to interpret test results including gamma carboxylated osteocalcin, serum D3, urinary amino acids and organic acids.
