8:00-9:00 Diagnosing, Treating and Reversing Prostate Cancer with Nutritional Intervention: Robert Bard, MD
It is well established that prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests and digital rectal exams have low accuracy in diagnosing prostate cancer. In addition, low grade prostate cancers have 1% mortality in 15 years. Non-invasive vascular imaging using ultrasound and MRI, however, effectively demonstrate a cancer's aggression with 95% accuracy, and may help avoid biopsies. Dr. Bard will discuss this more accurate form of diagnosis in detail along with the nutritional therapies he employs, which have shown an 80% stabilization and/or regression rate in low and medium grade prostate malignancies.
Robert L. Bard, MD is recognized as one of today's leaders in the field of radiology. His career began as an intern at Harkness Hospital in California and has since brought him to the forefront of medicine. He has served in the military, been the head radiologist at several leading hospitals. In his long career, he has also published numerous books, papers, and articles on his imaging and diagnostic techniques. He has presented his work on non-invasive cancer treatments at major radiology and oncology world conferences using state of the art blood flow detection technologies. Dr. Bard has been the director of The Biofoundation for Angiogenesis Research and Development since 2001, an organization which researches new therapeutic modalities in the treatment of cancer. Dr. Bard is currently in consulting practice in New York City and appears frequently in the media discussing the latest diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to prostate cancer.

Art is expanding this work into a practice-based General Systems Theory approach to diet and supplements for cancer, inflammation, and related conditions.
10:30-12:00 noon: Nutrition and the Autonomic Nervous System: Nicholas Gonzalez, MD
Pioneering researchers such as Dr. Francis Pottenger Sr., Royal Lee, and Dr. William Kelley have proposed over the last 90 years that much if not all disease has at its roots dysfunction and imbalance in the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS consists of those peripheral motor neurons that reach all tissues, organs and glands, and essentially regulate all metabolism and physiological function, from respiration, cardiovascular activity, digestion, from the mouth to the rectum, the secretion of hormones, the rate of metabolism and temperature regulation. The ANS consists of two branches the sympathetic and parasympathetic, each with a distinctive anatomy, physiology, and neurotransmitter chemistry. The two branches work in opposition from minute to minute, ideally helping to maintain homeostatic equilibrium 24 hours a day. Building on the work of Drs. Pottenger, Lee and Kelley, Dr. Gonzalez believes that some patients have an overly strong sympathetic system and correspondingly weak parasympathetic division, others a strong parasympathetic and weak sympathetic system. Such imbalance sets the stage for all manner of disease, from vision problems to cancer.
In his talk, Dr. Gonzalez will discuss how specific foods, their constituents including proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, each influence autonomic function, and how the proper choice of diet and supplements can help bring an out of balance autonomic set of nerves back into balance, with resulting improved biochemical and physiological activity, and ultimately, optimal health.
Nicholas Gonzalez, MD graduated from Brown University, Phi Beta Kappa, magna cum laude, then worked as a journalist, first at Time Inc., before pursuing premedical studies at Columbia. He subsequently received his medical degree from Cornell University Medical College in 1983. During a postgraduate immunology fellowship under Dr. Robert A. Good, considered the father of modern immunology, he completed a research study evaluating nutritional therapy in the treatment of advanced cancer. Since 1987, Dr. Gonzalez has been in private practice. His nutritional research has received substantial financial support from Procter & Gamble, Nestle, and the National Cancer Institute. Results from a pilot study published in 1999 described the most positive data in the medical literature for pancreatic cancer.

1:30-2:45 pm: Coaching Your Patient to Weight Loss Success: Jonny Bowden, PhD, CNS
Nutritionists are superb at analyzing diets and providing important information about weight control to their clients, but often hit roadblocks when it comes to motivating clients to follow that advice on a consistent basis. Life coaches are uniquely skilled at uncovering obstacles to success and helping clients craft strategies that work, but are woefully ignorant about nutrition and health. The art and science of Weight Loss Coaching draws upon techniques from both professions. In his presentation, Jonny will show you novel ways of interacting with clients that can help them lose weight and transform their lives permanently at the same time.
Jonny Bowden, PhD, CNS is a nationally-known expert on weight loss, nutrition, and health who has appeared on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, ABC-TV, NBC-TV, CBS-TV, Martha Stewart Living and Oprah and Friends.

3:15-4:45 pm: The Endocrine Effects of Exercise: Hormonal vs. Caloric Weight Loss Jade Teta ND, CSCS and Keoni Teta ND, LAc, CSCS
Exercise can no longer be viewed through the lens of calories. Muscle is, after all, an endocrine organ. Metabolic signaling molecules released from muscle tissue, called myokines, have profound impact on metabolic function. The direct endocrine effects of muscle are complimented by indirect hormonal responses from exercise. Exercise, like food, supplies information to the body. When we exercise, we are downloading a hormonal software program into the body that will determine whether we burn or store fat, turn inflammation on or off, and elicit growth or decay. In this presentation, the Teta brothers will discuss in detail the new science of movement and its dramatic impact on body composition and caloric metabolism. Participants will learn how to prescribe exercise for its hormonal effects on impact body composition and disease, and learn how to use correct forms of exercise to dramatically improve the health of their patients.
Jade Teta ND, CSCS and Keoni Teta ND, LAc, CSCS are brothers and the creators and founders of the Metabolic Effect workout, nutrition, and lifestyle program. They are naturopaths and strength and conditioning specialists who work as general practitioners and personal trainers specializing in hormonal fat loss. They are in private practice at the Naturopathic Health Clinic of North Carolina, one of the leading natural health centers in the state. They have a combined 30 years in the fitness industry and 15 in the field of holistic medicine. They have performed over 10,000 workouts with clients of all ages and fitness levels from elite athletes to the elderly and frail. They write a regular column called Exercise is Medicine in the alternative medicine journal The Townsend Letter. They also write regularly for the national publication Onfitness Magazine as well as many other publications, including Natural Triad, Natural Nutmeg, and Twin Cities Naturally.
