About this course

Our blood pH strongly affects many physiological functions but has largely been dismissed as irrelevant due to its tight regulation. New data however, suggests that pH control is not as tight as we thought and sensitive analysis of pH variance shows it does in fact, have significant adverse effects.

Dr Joseph Pizzorno has dug very deep into this topic and the new research reveals what the old-time clinicians taught for many years; that our diet and lifestyles cause many chronic diseases by creating an acidic environment.
An important insight that Jo explains in this presentation is that our body has to constantly work to resist an acidic diet. This chemical adaptation is a significant part of the ‘acid load’ causation of functional disturbance. This affects the whole endocrine system, the skeleton and skeletal muscle. Systemic acid load leads to progressive kidney disease, bone loss, fibrosis, muscle loss and sarcopenia, and inflammation.

This is a fascinating presentation with simple principles to resolve acid load and have a substantial effect on patient’s metabolism.
What you receive:

From this course you will

  • Understand acid-base balance: Gain an understanding of the body’s mechanisms for maintaining pH balance and the role of cellular acidosis in health and disease.
  • Learn the physiological consequences of high acid load: How acidosis affects cellular function, metabolism, and overall health
  • Understand the dietary impact on cellular pH: Identify dietary patterns and food types that contribute to acidosis and those that promote optimal pH balance.
  • Master techniques for recognising signs of diet-induced acidosis, including clinical assessments and diagnostic tools.
  • Develop simple strategies to restore balance through dietary modifications, supplementation, and lifestyle interventions to support cellular and systemic health.

DR JOSEPH PIZZORNO ND

Dr. Joseph Pizzorno is a transformational leader in medicine. As founding president of Bastyr University in 1978, he coined the term “science-based natural medicine.” This set the foundation for Bastyr to become the first accredited institution in this field anywhere in the world and validated that medicine that promotes health rather than just treats disease could be credibly taught, researched, and practiced. As co-author of the Textbook of Natural Medicine (first edition 1985, fifth edition 2020), he established the scientific foundation for health promotion medicine. With over 100,000 copies sold in four languages, it not only helped reestablish naturopathic medicine as an important part of the healthcare system but also provided the scientific foundation for the transformational fields of integrative and functional medicine throughout the world.

A naturopathic physician (licensed since 1975), educator, researcher, and expert spokesman, he is editor-in-chief of PubMed-indexed IMCJ, founding board member and three-time chair of the board of IFM, founding board member of American Herbal Pharmacopoeia, and a member of the science board of Bioclinic Naturals. He was appointed by Presidents Clinton and Bush to two prestigious government commissions to advise the President and Congress on how to integrate natural medicine into the healthcare system. He is author or co-author of six textbooks for doctors and eight consumer books, including one with his wife Lara.
