The ECS has a profound and largely unknown effect, by practitioner and public, on intestinal health and other chronic diseases. Cannabinoids help to modulate the endocannabinoid system and promote health and wellness. In this webinar, we will discuss the role of the endocannabinoid system in health and its potential therapeutic applications.

The mainstream medical approach has issues with ineffectiveness and unpleasant side effects – which leaves many sufferers turning to the holistic approach for better solutions.

On Wednesday May 18 2022, IHN hosted a webinar where explored two dynamic and vital influencers in underlying issues of health and disease. Attention to the Extra Cellular Matrix (ECM) and the Lymphatic System, have a profound impact on outcomes. Practitioners who have clients stuck on a healing plateau or who do not seem to improve from a disease state, will get a clear picture of the, many times unaddressed, controlling factors in fundamental biological structures and processes. Failure to look at abnormal ECM and Lymphatic System states, even within seemingly sound protocols, may leave the practitioner not having captured and corrected a vital aspect of the capacity to heal.

On Thursday August 20 2020, IHN hosted a 1-hour webinar, where Brett Hawes shared the root causes that drive leaky gut and autoimmune disease. Autoimmune disease is a collective term that includes over 120 known health conditions. While specific autoimmune diseases differ from one another, they all involve multiple symptoms orbiting around common root causes. Doctors usually rely on a handful of standard drug therapies geared toward symptom management with little focus on getting to the root cause. One of the main root causes of autoimmune disease is leaky gut. The presentation explained what leaky gut actually is, accurate detection methods, what causes it and how it is involved with autoimmune disease. Targeted dietary, lifestyle and supplement interventions that heal the gut, normalize the immune response and drastically reduce flare-ups was taught.

On Wednesday August 19 2020, IHN hosted a 90 minute webinar, exclusively for a peer to peer discussion. Brett Hawes shared the five main root causes that drive all autoimmune disease. Autoimmune disease is a collective term that includes over 120 different diseases. Due to the chronic and complex nature, autoimmune disease presents unique challenges for clinicians – detecting root causes, identifying a therapeutic starting point, and developing a structured health road map being the most common. Clients are often burnt out and frustrated by the time they see a holistic practitioner. This is because standard treatment focuses on core areas like pain and inflammation management, steroid therapy and immunosuppressants, with little regard for root cause resolution. Brett discussed the five main root causes that drive all autoimmune diseases and to break the cycle to drastically reduce symptoms and flare ups, make significant inroads into managing and reversing autoimmune disease holistically and naturally. Brett shared his unique approach based on his “perfect storm” framework, teaching practitioners what core areas to home in on to get positive clinical outcomes.

The iris consists of tiny nerve fibres, known as trabecula, that reveal the body’s constitution, inherent weakness, level of health and the transitions. Changes in the body’s physiology can be seen in the iris several years before disease can be detected medically.
