Be part of a team of healthcare providers leading the charge to optimize men’s health and promote longevity in the cluster of chemical exposures and endocrine disruptors
It is clear that exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have detrimental effects on reproductive health. Exposure to EDCs can lead to epigenetic changes, impaired spermatogenesis, and male infertility. Vinclozolin, a fungicide used on fruits, vegetables, turf grass, and ornamental plants, is a known antiandrogenic endocrine disruptor. Spermatogenic defects, prostate disease, kidney disease, and cancer are seen in rodents with exposure to vinclozolin. There may be similar effects in human males. EDCs are also associated with obesity and cardiometabolic risk factors.
Researchers have demonstrated eating produce containing higher quantities of pesticide residue appears to be associated with lower sperm counts. Phthalates have been shown to be an antiandrogen leading to significant changes in genital measurements in male infants with varying phthalate exposure. Studies have indicated paternal exposure to phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA) is associated with changes to the sex ratio with excess female births.
As a result, PME has brought together expert faculty to address these concerns in order to improve patient outcomes. We will review the research and provide strategies to address concerns of endocrine disruption in men. We invite medical doctors, osteopathic doctors, naturopathic doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, functional medicine healthcare practitioners and and integrative medical providers to join us.

Practicum in the Preparation and Mixing of Immunotherapy Dilutions *additional enrollment required*
Dr. Ty Vincent, who developed low dose immunotherapy (LDI), has taught doctors the theory of LDI and how to use various antigens in clinical practice. This practicum is to help those who want a more practical understanding of how to make dilutions, mix antigens and prepare individual doses. Dr. Ingels will show you how to go from stock antigen to mixing full dilutions and preparing your immunotherapy lab. He will also show you how to mix antigens and apply doses in clinical practice. This is a hands-on practicum, where you will get a chance to mix your own dilutions and learn how to use your stock antigens.

Hormone/Neurotransmitter Resistance: The Role of Immunotherapy
Many practitioners have had the experience of giving a nutritional supplement, herb or hormone to a patient and then having them have the complete opposite reaction of what was expected. This can be an indication that a metabolic product in that pathway is triggering an immune or autoimmune reaction. In this lecture, Dr. Ingels will review how to identify and test for immunological reactions to hormones and neurotransmitters, as well as treatment strategies to help modulate immune responses to one's internal chemistry. He will discuss using sublingual immunotherapy and low dose immunotherapy to help overcome these sensitivities. Dr. Ingels will also present case studies to illustrate using these cutting edge techniques in your daily practice.
