1) Integrative Medicine Approach to Hardening of the Arteries and Cardiovascular Disease
(Webinar May 6, 2010)
Dr. Gant will first review the basis for all chronic disease and disorders, the 12 kinds of dysautonomia or stress. Blood vessels are living tissues and are always subject to degeneration from at least 4 of these 12 stressors, allergic, infectious, metabolic, and oxidative stress, and regeneration potential can be enhanced with various interventions which reduce the 8 commonly known “risk factors” (e.g., cholesterol, hypertension, smoking etc.) and also at least 25 additional risk factors (CRP, Lp(a), fibrinogen, homocysteine etc.).
These risk factors are related to stressors and can be reversed or modified. Genetic testing for cardiovascular disorders to eliminate some of the vulnerabilities to these stressor risk factors will be reviewed. Finally, cognitive/emotional stress will be addressed by experiencing a few exercises which can be practiced on a daily basis.

2) ADHD Cause and Recovery (Webinar May 20, 2010)
Brain imagery studies suggest that Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) is caused by dysfunctional, “stressed” frontal lobes of the brain. Numerous other peer-reviewed, published studies suggest that the frontal lobe dysfunction is caused by various stressors (12 stressors presented in previous webinars), such as nutritional deficiencies (e.g., mineral and essential fatty acid deficiencies), toxicities (e.g., lead toxicity), neurotransmitter imbalances which activate frontal lobe function (serotonin, dopamine), food allergy, gastrointestinal distress (mycotoxins (mold toxins) from processed carbohydrate diet induces candida overgrowth), and genetic vulnerabilities to all of the above.
AD/HD is easily reversible when these risk factors are determined with functional medicine testing (now covered by insurance) and treated properly. In this webinar, brain imagery and inexpensive continuous performance neuropsychological testing, and examples of functional laboratory testing (all offered at NIHA – www.nihadc.com) will be explained, so that listeners will understand that rational, science-based, safer, psychotropic-chemical-free alternatives and choices are available for everyone (parents, adults and children) suffering from AD/HD.

3) Autoimmune Disorders (Webinar May 27, 2010)
Over 80 autoimmune diseases exist and as a group they are very common. Autoimmune disorders arise from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. In other words, the body actually attacks its own cells and tissues by mistaking some part of the body as a pathogen (germ) and attacking it.
The different names for various autoimmune disorders depend on what organ or part of the body the somewhat fickle immune system decides to attack (e.g., attack on the joints is called rheumatoid arthritis, the thyroid is called Hashimoto’s thyroiditis etc.).
The conventional medicine treatment of autoimmune diseases typically involves immunosuppression – medication which decreases the immune response.
The alternative approach is to determine with laboratory testing where in the body the immune system is challenged, correct that problem, and remove the immune system’s reason to be so aggressive.
Both approaches are often needed for a comprehensive, integrative approach.
Autoimmune stress, like any of the 12 kinds of stress often referred to in this series of educational workshops, can cause severe fatigue, burnout and psychological dysfunction.

4) Part 1 of 5 Part Series on Depression, Anxiety, Burnout and Mood Disorders
Neurotransmitter and Hormonal Imbalances (chronic stress #9 and #12). (webinar June 3, 2010)
Neurotransmitters and hormones are cell-to-cell communicators, allowing our 200 trillion cells to live together in harmony and cooperation. Some of those neurotransmitters and hormones (e.g., noradrenaline) are involved with driving sympathetic, fight (hate/resentments/anger) and flight (anxiety/fear/panic). At least 12 other neurotransmitters oppose noradrenaline and support the regenerative, healing, rest/digest, parasympathetic nervous system. Any plan to address Depression, Anxiety, Burnout and Mood Disorders must start with an understanding of how to down-regulate noradrenaline and upregulate the hormones and neurotransmitters which oppose noradrenaline (e.g., serotonin, dopamine, taurine, GABA etc.).

5) Part 2 of 5 Part Series on Depression, Anxiety, Burnout and Mood Disorders
Cognitive (chronic stress #2). (Webinar June 10, 2010)
Irrational demands for approval, perfection, control and fairness are often the driving force behind sympathetic, fight (hate/resentments/anger) and flight (anxiety/fear/panic) chronic stress. These are called irrational because in the human experience, it is impossible to be liked by everyone all the time, to be infallible, to always get your way, or to always be treated fairly. Despite this, many people unconsciously live by these impossible to satisfy demands, and thus live in perpetual chronic stress and distress. This webinar will explain how to rid your mind of irrational thinking.

6) Part 3 of 5 Part Series on Depression, Anxiety, Burnout and Mood Disorders
Emotional Disturbances (chronic stress #1). (Webinar June 17, 2010)
Emotional disturbances (E-motion = energy in motion) is the preparation for a fight/flight, sympathetic experience. Emotions are commonly thought to be caused by external events or situations (e.g., money, work, spouse etc.) but when they are defined as an internal sensation in the body and experienced directly, one discovers how to disempower external events as a fictitious cause and choose the emotional responses one wishes to have.
This webinar will focus on the methods of directly letting go of emotional discomfort using a mindfulness technique as discussed in the book ADHD Therapy. This approach can even be used to let go of physical pain caused by non-emotional problems, such disc pain in the back and migraines.

7) Part 4 of 5 Part Series on Depression, Anxiety, Burnout and Mood Disorders
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (chronic stress #2). (Webinar June 24, 2010)
PTSD is derived from a deeply imprinted traumatic episode of emotional or physical pain from the past, which is replayed over and over like a broken record in one’s current experience. A great deal of energy is expended to avoid, resist or deny PTSD pain, often by medicating it with drugs and alcohol. The old saying, “It is resistance which causes persistence,” is an issue with PTSD because who would even think of stopping the resistance and directly experiencing pain and discomfort.
Even though this is counterintuitive, it is the willingness to let the pain surface (when one is ready) and mindfully re-experience it, which allows it to dissipate. This webinar will focus on ADHD Therapy as an approach to letting go of old traumas.

8 ) Part 5 of 5 Part Series on Depression, Anxiety, Burnout and Mood Disorders
Purposelessness Stress (lack of spirituality) – (chronic stress #8). (Webinar July 1, 2010)
This is a wrap-up of these 5 webinars on Depression, Anxiety, Burnout and Mood Disorders, having gone from the body (webinar #1 on neurotransmitters and hormones) to the mind (cognition, emotion and PTSD) and now to spirituality. Mindfulness training will be taught as it relates to amalgamating the body, mind and spirit into one approach of healing and wellness. Defined sometimes as an open curiosity to investigate life experiences with bare attention, mindfulness training allows one to go behind the “trauma-drama” of life to experience a deeper meaning and purpose over and above issues of wealth, control and relationships, issues which are commonly thought to bring happiness.

9) Endocrine (hormonal) stress with a special emphasis on insulin – (chronic stress #9) (Webinar July 8, 2010)
Imbalances of thyroid, adrenal and sex hormones can greatly contribute to fight/flight, sympathetic stress and the total stress load, because these hormones often provide a compensatory response to stress caused by other factors. When this “buffering” compensation is weakened, coping mechanisms can break down, and stress which would otherwise by handled well can seem overwhelming. This webinar will focus on some of the common endocrine imbalances such as insulin.

10) Endocrine (hormonal) Stress – Webinar #2 in this series with special emphasis on “Cortisol Steal,” and osteoporosis, PMS, andropause and menopause – (chronic stress #9). (Webinar July 15, 2010)
Cortisol is a misunderstood stress hormone which is released by the adrenal gland to “buffer” or compensate for stress and which improves so-called “coping mechanisms.” The more chronic stress or distress we encounter, the more the adrenal glands will release cortisol, which steals the precursor hormones which it shares with progesterone, testosterone and estrogen, thus depleting or “stealing from” these other hormones. Depletions of these bone protective, mood enhancing, sex hormones causes PMS, osteoporosis, menopausal symptoms, loss of libido and many other problems.
Every woman should see this webinar. Also important for men.

11) Endocrine Stress – #3 in series focusing on Thyroid (chronic stress #9) (Webinar July 29, 2010)
Thyroid disorders are one of the most common endocrine problems. This webinar will focus on thyroid disorders, diagnostic testing, how to support thyroid function nutritionally and the importance of detoxification.
Every doctor and anyone who has thyroid problems should see this webinar!

Dr. Gant we brought our son in to see you in 1997. Our son Jordan being diagnosed with ADHD. We have homeschooled Jordan and he has done wonderfully. We used the product “Focus” from NSR for several years. We are trying to find that company or a similar product for him as he enters college. Can you help us with that?
Sincerely,
Shari Henderson
