This course will explain the potential of enzymes as therapeutic agents and their application and impact on clinical outcomes.  Upon completion, attendees will understand the mechanisms, synergies, indication and contraindications of natural and supplemental enzymes and gain a comprehensive understanding of utilising enzymes for therapeutic effect and health outcomes.

Enzymes, despite their significant therapeutic potential, can present a daunting challenge for professionals due to several factors, including dosing complexities, expectations management, time frame considerations, and intricate interactions. However, this comprehensive academic course aims to alleviate these concerns and foster confidence among participants in choosing and utilising enzymes effectively while adeptly navigating the diverse landscape of enzyme products.

This course will cover how enzymes function, so health professionals can more easily and confidently provide personalized dietary recommendations to optimize digestion, nutrient utilization, intestinal health and detoxification and dampening inflammation. This knowledge will enable them to recommend specific enzyme supplements or dietary modifications to support optimal digestion and overall health. By incorporating the study of enzymes into their practice, health practitioners can enhance their ability to address individualized nutritional needs and promote optimal well-being. It will help health professionals identify potential enzyme deficiencies or imbalances that may contribute to digestive issues, nutrient depletions, fatigue or pain.

Finally, practitioners will be able to confidently navigate presenting problems and immediately understand how to optimize and utilise enzymes, enzyme activators and enzyme co-factors to bring about swift, safe and effective resolution for the people they are helping.

By the end of the course

Participants will gain the knowledge and skills to confidently use enzymes for various therapeutic purposes, including:
• Digestive problems
• Inflammation and inflammatory syndromes
• Cardiovascular concerns
• Detoxification
• Natural enzyme production

What will be covered

Participants will learn how to effectively utilize enzymes for the management of digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), lactose intolerance, and malabsorption syndromes. They will explore the mechanisms by which enzymes assist in the breakdown and digestion of complex molecules, facilitating optimal nutrient absorption and relieving digestive symptoms.

The course will delve into the role of enzymes in modulating inflammation, providing participants with a comprehensive understanding of how enzymes can be used as therapeutic agents to alleviate inflammation-related conditions. Participants will explore the underlying mechanisms by which enzymes regulate inflammatory processes, and how this knowledge can be applied in the treatment of conditions such as arthritis, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease.

Attendees will gain insights into the potential benefits of enzyme therapy in managing cardiovascular conditions. They will explore the role of enzymes in promoting healthy blood flow, reducing clot formation, and modulating lipid metabolism. Through case studies and evidence-based discussions, participants will learn how to incorporate enzyme therapy as an adjunctive treatment for cardiovascular disorders such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, and thrombosis.

We will cover the role of enzymes in supporting the body's detoxification pathways. Participants will learn how enzymes facilitate the breakdown and elimination of toxins, aiding in the detoxification process. They will explore the application of enzyme therapy in conditions related to toxin exposure, such as environmental toxicity, drug overdose, and alcohol-related liver disease.

Attendees will explore the body's natural production of enzymes and the factors that can influence enzyme levels. They will learn about specific dietary and lifestyle factors that can support optimal enzyme production and function. Participants will gain insights into the importance of a balanced diet, proper hydration, and stress management in maintaining healthy enzyme levels.

Professionals will learn how to identify and assess enzyme-related issues in patients. Through case studies and diagnostic approaches, participants will develop the ability to recognize symptoms and signs that may indicate enzyme deficiencies or dysfunctions. They will also explore appropriate laboratory tests and diagnostic procedures to confirm suspected enzyme problems.

By the end of this course, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively use enzymes for digestive problems, inflammation, cardiovascular system disorders, and detoxification. Armed with this knowledge, professionals will be well-equipped to integrate enzyme therapy into their clinical practice, promoting improved patient outcomes in these areas.
