The Extracellular Matrix + Lymphatic System in Health & Disease with Emphasis on Mold Exposure
Presenter: Sofia Pistrila MSc, CNP
A Clinical Practice Workshop for Nutritional Practitioners
*Practitioners from any accredited holistic nutrition institution are welcome!
This 2 day workshop (Saturday February 4 & 11) is designed to help practitioners to understand the crucial importance of a healthy Extracellular Matrix (ECM) and Lymphatic System so that they are able to recognize and heal Mold Toxicity in clients.
Sofia and registrants will discuss the relatively new and fascinating knowledge of mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and Cell Danger Response (CDR). Various therapeutic strategies to reinstate health, including manual therapies, electromagnetic therapies and supplementation will be discussed.
The second part of the workshop, is dedicated to a detailed and comprehensive look at the “sick house syndrome” and mold with discussions on origins, testing and detailed treatment plans including diet, life style and supplementation.
Workshop will conclude with a case study presentation. Participants will leave this workshop with practical knowledge and tools including protocols that can be applied immediately in their practice.
Included!
Time for comprehensive Q&A s have been added, to review specific clinical questions that practitioners have.

“Sofia expertly puts everything together-from MCAS to mold by pointing out the red flags; specifically emphasizing the importance of cleaning the extracellular matrix and the lymphatic system in a safe order and manner to stabilize the membrane and support the mitochondria first; knowing also when to slow down. I came away with practical information that was so valuable and easy to implement immediately. Sofia’s knowledge and experience gives the practitioner so many gems and nuggets that only come with her experience.” Dianne Levine (practitioner, 2015 IHN graduate)

“Amazing workshop and as usual Sofia is a wealth of knowledge! The workshop was extremely informative and also had excellent useful handouts. I would highly recommend it for anyone interested in learning more about mold exposure, the extracellular matrix and lymphatic system, even parasites. On top of the immense amount of information Sofia presented, she also made time to answer questions so that each participant got the most out of it.” Jenna Hartlen (student IHN, 2023 IHN graduate)
