Abstract

The efficiency of the human immune system depends on the delicate balance among its immune cells, particularly B cells and the different subtypes of T cells, Th1, Th2, Th17 and the regulatory T cells or Tregs.  It has been found that these important guardians of immunity can be regulated nutritionally through certain beneficial foods, prebiotics, probiotics and other supplements.

September 13, 2025 2:00 PM
Abstract

This presentation explores novel nutritional therapeutics and innovative peptides to support muscle, bone health, and enhance lifespan. Maintaining muscle and optimizing bone health has become increasingly important for supporting longevity, quality of life, and overall health. This presentation explores the latest advancements in nutritional therapeutics and peptide science aimed at optimizing musculoskeletal health and healthy aging.
Attendees will gain insights into evidence-based nutritional therapeutics and bioactive compounds that play a pivotal role in muscle maintenance and bone density. Additionally, we’ll delve into the emerging role of peptides in promoting muscle recovery, enhancing bone remodeling, supporting
overall skeletal integrity, and longevity.

By connecting the latest research with clinical applications, this presentation provides healthcare professionals with practical strategies to incorporate nutritional and peptide-based approaches into personalized care plans to combat age-related muscle loss, improve bone density, and support overall health and longevity.

Abstract

Simple, speedy, extremely sensitive, and specific tests for endotoxin determination are established and commercially available. This presentation will address the production, infiltration, protective mechanisms and systemic circulation of LPS and therapeutic protocols to arrest and reverse its damaging effects.

You’ll glean insights into:

• Environments where LPS flourishes

• Health concerns in which LPS plays a role

• What happens when LPS accumulates over a lifetime and the risk of sepsis

• The relationship between microbiome health and LPS

• Protocols for quenching the systemic fire initiated by LPS
