Vitamin A: Critical for Female Reproduction
Vitamin A is one of the most important essential nutrients, affecting the expression of hundreds of genes governing multiple functions in the human body. Unfortunately, its role in human reproduction is widely underappreciated by conventional medicine, including fertility medicine. This session will be an overview of vitamin A's critical roles in female fertility and how even a marginal deficiency can negatively impact a woman's reproductive health in multiple ways. Indicators of and contributors to insufficiency/deficiency will be presented. Considerations for repletion will be discussed. Pam is representing the Weston A. Price Foundation, a non-profit philanthropic organization leading the way in disseminating the benefits of traditional dietary practices for a quarter of a century.

Pelvic Floor Health: The Surprising Foot and Fascia Connection
A functional pelvic floor is essential throughout a woman's life. As the structural foundation for the pelvic organs, it is
critical for maintaining a regular, healthy menstrual cycle. It is required for an optimal pregnancy and delivery. And it has a
huge impact on quality of life through maintaining continence.
What many people don't realise is that pelvic floor function is neurologically wired to the intrinsic muscles in the feet. We
can't have a strong core if it's not anchored to the ground. This represents a hidden cause of problems that is often
overlooked and a powerful window for effective clinical intervention.
Learning objectives:
- Understand the foot-core-pelvic floor connection.
- Learn to easily identify pelvic floor dysfunction and test whether it's linked to foot dysfunction.
- Learn simple, effective interventions to stabilise, rehabilitate and optimize pelvic floor function.

New Voices Stage - Women's Health and BHRT
We will address how to successfully understand BHRT (bioidentical hormone replacement therapy) reviewing what bioidentical hormones are, modes of delivery from their prescribing physicians (or self-administration) including FDA vs non-FDA, safest and most effective delivery methods based on NAMS guidelines, while also addressing what we learned from nonoptimal synthetic delivery from the past 30 years helping to ensure our narrative reports and referrals support the best approach for our co-anaged patients alongside patient education and informed consent. We will additionally discuss the “bleed risk” and endometrial protection, as well as follow-up functional testing while on hormone therapy.

Broad-Spectrum Micronutrients in Pregnancy: RCT Results for Maternal Depression, Birth Outcomes, and Impacts on Neonatal Development
The NUTRIMUM trial was the first RCT specifically designed to assess the efficacy and safety of a broad-spectrum micronutrient formula on symptoms of antenatal depression and global functioning in an unmedicated pregnant cohort. Secondary analysis and follow-up studies also investigated both maternal and infant birth outcomes and post-partum health. Broad-spectrum micronutrients significantly improved overall clinician-rated and self-rated depression symptoms. Sleep quality and overall functioning improved. Micronutrients significantly reduced serum homocysteine and the risk of postpartum hemorrhaging for the mother and the need for resuscitation in the infants. The risk of preterm birth (more common in depressed mothers) was mitigated. In the first month of life infants exposed to broad-spectrum micronutrients in-utero markedly outperformed infants from similarly depressed mothers taking pharmaceutical antidepressants on 6 of 7 measures and even significantly outperformed infants from healthy control mothers on 3 of 7 measures. The depression rate at 6 months postpartum in the cohort of women who had taken broad-spectrum micronutrients during pregnancy was equal to the population average - a large reduction from expected rates for women with antenatal depression. There was no statistically greater emergence of adverse effects reported by participants in the micronutrient group compared with the placebo group.

Optimizing Women's Health By Healing The Gut
Women are diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome twice as often as men. Emerging research reveals that gut bacteria directly govern how much active estrogen recirculates systemically, while female hormones in turn shape gut motility, intestinal permeability, and microbial composition — a bidirectional relationship in which dysbiosis and hormonal dysfunction drive and amplify each other. Bacterial dysbiosis has now been linked to some of the most prevalent conditions in women's health, including PMS, PCOS, infertility, thyroid dysfunction, autoimmune disease, bone loss, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer risk, and difficult menopausal transitions. This lecture presents an evidence-based framework for assessing gut health in female patients and implementing targeted interventions — including dietary strategies, probiotics, and SIBO-directed therapies — that have been shown to reduce symptoms and improve outcomes across the female lifespan.

From Implantation to Cognition: How Modern Exposures — from Glyphosate to Gluten Shape the Developing Brain
Emerging research reveals that common, often overlooked exposures—from dietary antigens such as gluten to the accumulation of ubiquitous toxicants like glyphosate—may silently influence implantation success, placental function, and fetal development. These early-life insults accumulate, creating a hidden foundation for cognitive, behavioral, and autoimmune challenges that manifest years later. In this presentation, Dr. Tom O’Bryan will connect the dots between preconception health, maternal immune tolerance, and neurodevelopmental outcomes. Clinicians will discover how to screen for risk, optimize detoxification, microbiome balance, and dietary precision before and during pregnancy to reduce risk and promote neurological resilience in future generations.
Learning Objectives
1. Understand how preconception and inutero exposure sinfluence implantation, fetal programming, and neurodevelopmental outcomes.
2. Recognize modifiable nutritional, lifestyle, and environmental factors that drive immune activation and neurological vulnerability in offspring.
3. Apply evidence-based tools and testing strategies to help parents optimize fertility, pregnancy health, and long-term cognitive outcomes in their children.

Skin Aging as a Window into Health: A Clinical Framework for Nutrition, Hormones, and the Gut-Skin Axis
Skin health offers clinicians a uniquely visible and motivating entry point for driving meaningful nutrition and lifestyle change in women across the lifespan. Because the skin can respond quickly to internal shifts and patients can actually “see” their progress, these visible changes reinforce long-term habits, even when deeper, challenging-to-motivate goals are the main focus (e.g., gut health, metabolic balance, hormonal regulation).
This presentation will cover targeted nutritional support, key hormonal influences (including estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol), the gut-skin axis, and lifestyle interventions that shape the skin’s appearance and function. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how internal systems shape visible skin aging and how to integrate these connections into women’s health and nutrition programs.
