With Silvia Grisendi PhD, DipNT, mBANT, rCNHC
After spending many years as a research scientist investigating the cellular mechanisms through which cancer develops, Silvia became fascinated with the potential of healing naturopathic diets and the extraordinary difference that a holistic approach can make for individuals suffering from chronic health issues such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, allergies, immune diseases, chronic pain, and cancer.
A functional approach to nutrition means to support the person as a whole, using the principles of Functional Medicine to look at the root causes of disease along with nutritional and lifestyle adjustments to restore balance. From a functional perspective, cancer may develop as the result of combined biochemical imbalances that accumulate over time for different reasons. A natural functional approach aims at identifying these imbalances, and at harnessing the power of ‘food as medicine’ to stimulate the body’s innate healing resources.
This talk will provide insights into some of the key drivers of cancer pathology, and discuss evidence-based food and lifestyle strategies that can help create a body environment where cancer cells are unable thrive.
A Q&A session will follow the talk and light refreshments will be available.
Tickets are non-refundable.
