The Australasian Certification in Anti-Ageing Medicine: Module 2 @ Pullman Hyde Park, Sydney
Oct 16 – Oct 17 all-day

ACAAM: The Australasian Certification in Anti-Ageing Medicine

ACAAM provides allied health professionals the knowledge to bridge the gap between doctor and patient, achieving better patient results.

The program provides you with an insight into integrative and preventative medicine in your daily practice and encourages you to think outside the box. It provides the framework for a multi-disciplinary and holistic approach to preventive healthcare and treatment.

On completion of ACAAM you will have sufficient knowledge to counsel patients in preventative and integrative medicine.

The A5M Certification Program covers all aspects of ageing including:

Exercise and Lifestyle: Substantial health benefits occur with regular physical activity that is aerobic
in nature, including strength and resistance training to increase muscular strength, endurance, and bone density. Stress is an inevitable by-product of our way of life, and can affect how quickly we age, and how good we feel.

Diet and Nutrition: Scientists have found that what we eat and how much we consume, influences how long and how well we live. Nutrient and caloric intake influence and improve health and longevity, and extend lifespan.

Inflammation: Ageing is a progressive degenerative process tightly integrated with inflammation and the inflammatory responses. Environmental and lifestyle effectors of inflammation may also contribute to modulation of both inflammation and age-related dysfunction.

Supplements: Supplementation is important to provide nutritional building blocks required by the body for optimal functioning, and the protection against free radical attacks caused by poor dietary habits, lifestyle and environmental pollution.

Hormone therapy: Levels of key hormones naturally decline with age. The use of hormone replacement therapy where indicated constitutes a legitimate and important life-enhancing medical application.

Pathology: Preventive screening leads to early disease detection for some diseases, and early detection offers a greater likelihood of treatment success.

Cognitive Function and Mood Disorders: Cognitive decline, dementia and mood disorders are not inevitable with age. The principles of anti-ageing medicine apply directly to maintaining brain health and cognitive function.

Genetics: Genomic and epigenomic research has led to the advent of personalised medicine, tailoring a patient’s treatment program based on their particular genetic profile.

Pride yourself in high quality patient care.

The Global Wellness Summit @ The St Regis, Mexico City
Nov 13 – Nov 15 all-day

Dr Deepak Chopra will be a keynote speaker at the 2015 Global Wellness Summit (GWS), an annual event that attracts international leaders and visionaries.

The author of over 80 books, including 22 New York Times bestsellers, Dr Chopra is a leading global figure in wellbeing and alternative medicine. He was hailed as “the pioneer of alternative medicine” by President Bill Clinton, while TIME magazine has described him as “one of the top 100 heroes and icons of the century.”

He joins a long list of internationally recognised and inspiring keynote speakers, including His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, on the GWS stage. He will address delegates on this year’s theme, Building a Well World.

“I’m thrilled to be a part of this gathering of like-minded, forward-thinking wellness influencers who are committed to helping to create a peaceful, just, sustainable, happier and healthy world,” said Dr Chopra, whose soon-to-be released book, Super Genes (Harmony, November 2015), co-authored by Dr. Rudolph Tanzi, will be released just prior to the conference, in early November.

In addition to his status as a best-selling author, Dr Chopra is also the founder of The Chopra Foundation and Co-founder of The Chopra Center for Wellbeing, and has received countless honours for his work and humanitarian efforts.

His medical training is in internal medicine and endocrinology. Dr Chopra’s is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians and serves as an Adjunct Professor at both the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and Columbia Business School, Columbia University.

“There are few people whose impact on the way we think about health and wellbeing has been as profound and wide reaching as Dr Chopra’s, and we’re thrilled he accepted our invitation to speak at this year’s Summit,” said Susie Ellis, Chairman and CEO of the Global Wellness Summit. “He has transformed the way the world views physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social wellness, and it is this holistic, sophisticated understanding of wellbeing that we, as an organisation, are always striving to communicate.”

GWS is widely recognised as the premier gathering of business, government and academic leaders across the wellness, travel and spa industries – and for its high-profile, keynote speakers and innovative agenda, industry research, Global Wellness Tourism Congress and business networking opportunities. It is an exclusive gathering for senior executives.

GWS is an invitation-only international gathering that brings together leaders and visionaries to positively shape the future of the $3.4 trillion global wellness industry. Attendees represent diverse sectors, including hospitality, tourism, spa, health, beauty, finance, medicine, architecture/design, real estate, manufacturing and technology. Held in a different location each year, it attracts delegates from over 50 countries.
