Watch Mood and Neurodegenerative Disorders: Chronic Inflammation and Disturbances in Tryptophan Metabolism with Jeffrey Moss, DDS, CNS, DACBN

Many of us have a friend or loved one that suffers from some sort of neurobehavioral or neurodegenerative illness. It is generally regarded by both the allopathic and alternative medicine communities that neurobehavioral illnesses, such as depression, and neurodegenerative illnesses, such as Alzheimer’s disease, are very different ailments – both symptomatically and metabolically. In fact, a large body of research suggests that neurobehavioral and neurodegenerative illnesses are different points on the exact same catabolic, inflammatory, insulin resistant, metabolically suboptimal spectrum. In turn, clinical depression is an excellent early indicator of risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Please join us as we welcome back Jeffrey Moss, DDS, CNS, DACBN, for Mood and Neurodegenerative Disorders: Chronic Inflammation and Disturbances in Tryptophan Metabolism. Dr. Moss' webinar recording is now available to review in the Hawthorn Webinar Archives.

In this presentation Dr. Moss covers the specifics of tryptophan metabolism disturbance and its relationship with chronic inflammation will be discussed. We will learn simple and cost-effective lifestyle and supplemental interventions to reduce chronic inflammation and optimize tryptophan metabolism, leading to significant improvements in quality of life for clients suffering from neurologic dysfunction.

Dr. Jeffrey Moss, DDS, CNS, DACBN, graduated from the University of Michigan Dental School in 1974 and practiced dentistry in Grand Rapids, Michigan up to 1985. For the last 27 years he has operated Moss Nutrition Products, which supplies the Moss Nutrition Professional Line of supplements to practitioners. In addition to his duties at Moss Nutrition, Dr. Moss has, for many years, written newsletters of review and commentary on different subjects relating to functional medicine and clinical nutrition that are regularly featured in the journals Nutritional Perspectives and Original Internist. Finally, Dr. Moss is a regularly featured speaker, presenting continuing education seminars at many symposia throughout the country.

Review Your Money Code with Angela Anderson

We all have a money code inside, but have you ever wished it was programmed to grow your health & wellness business with ease and flow? Most health professionals use “outside in” approaches when working on their marketing, new offers, etc. in order to produce the momentum and results they are working so hard towards, but that is actually a common mistake! Angela Anderson teaches that you want to address your issues from an “inside out” approach, and start by adjusting your mind, your beliefs, your thoughts, and your stories. Handle all of this first and get your message out - authentically and confidently!

Join us as we welcome Angela Anderson for the webinar Your Money Code: Explore Reprogramming Your Subconscious Beliefs about Money so you can Create TRUE WEALTH as a Wellness Practitioner.

As an Advanced PSYCH-K® Facilitator and former employee at the PSYCH-K® Centre International, a leader in subconscious reprogramming, Angela teaches people how to leverage proven neuroscience and mind management tools to unlock and transform their self-limiting, self-sabotaging and negative beliefs about money.

When she’s not working with clients from all over the world, she spends her time with her husband and two boys in Colorado, nestled at the base of the Sangre de Cristo mountains and overlooking the Sand Dunes National Park & Preserve, and also traveling the world.
