Discount package: One click gives you access to eight expert-led recordings (each 1.5 hours long) and an 94-page PDF of detailed digital notes. This compelling audio series offers a clinically focused deep dive into botanical strategies for enhancing immune resilience, managing viral and chronic infections, and navigating autoimmune conditions.

• Lise Alschuler, ND, FABNO, eMBA begins the series by spotlighting underutilized herbs with powerful antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties. Learn about botanicals like Usnea, Spilanthes, Hemidesmus, and Coptis, their mechanisms of action, and practical ways to integrate them into clinical care.
• Sam Coffman, L.Ac, W-EMT, RH(AHG) delivers a hands-on workshop exploring advanced wound and infection management. Drawing from Traditional Chinese Medicine and clinical herbalism, Sam demonstrates medicine-making techniques and treatment protocols for acute and chronic wounds, with a strong focus on immune support.
• Kristin Gilmour, BHSc (Naturopathy) and Julianne Grant, BHSc (Naturopathy), BApSc (HM) present an insightful lecture on viral pathophysiology—from acute illness to chronic sequelae. Through case examples like COVID and herpesviruses, they explore phytomedicine and medicinal mushroom protocols that disrupt viral persistence and support recovery.
• Christopher Hobbs, PhD, LAc offers a wide-angle perspective on the ecological and biological role of viruses, and how to harness the power of herbal and mushroom-based therapies for prevention and resilience. You’ll learn how to select or prepare effective mushroom formulas for immune support.
• Jason Miller, DACM, LAc examines the connection between chronic infections, stress, and complex disease states in Part 1 of his “4 Horsemen of Chronic Disease” series. You’ll explore multi-layered treatment strategies including botanical and nutritional medicine, lifestyle interventions, and energy medicine tools to manage long-term immune dysfunction.
• In a pre-conference intensive, Eric Yarnell, ND, RH (AHG) addresses autoimmune disease from the ground up. With a focus on immunomodulating herbs, Dr. Yarnell explains how these herbs work differently from immunostimulants and conventional immunosuppressants. Clinical case studies help illustrate effective, real-world applications.
• In a panel discussion, Paul Bergner, Medical Herbalist; Todd Caldecott, Dip, CI.H., RH(AHG), CAP(NAMA), AAC; and Katie Stage, ND, RH (AHG), FABNG share time-tested herbal protocols for preventing viral infections. Drawing on lessons from the COVID pandemic, they outline preventative strategies to build immunity and prepare for future emerging pathogens.
