  • Epigenetics and Mental Health

Speaker: Kenneth Proefrock. Investigates the impact that early life events have on full grown adults. Describes the interaction of certain hormones, their effects on neurotransmitter activity and the therapeutic strategies that can be helpful. The narrowly acting pharmaceuticals seldom effect long-term and beneficial change, whereas shifting the ecological makeup of the microbiome, and making use of the subtleties of botanical and dietary interventions are better suited to long-term beneficial outcomes.
