From Supportive to Strategic: Elevating Foundational Prescriptions in Complex and Chronic Care
Samuel Peters, BioMedica
Saturday 29th August, 9 am - 9:50 am (NZST)
In contemporary clinical practice, the most powerful prescriptions can often be the least glamorous: the foundational interventions that efficiently improve resilience and restore homeostasis across energy production, inflammation and metabolic health. This session explores how three underutilised and evidence-based prescriptions can function as high-priority, system-wide interventions in chronic, multi-factorial presentations; where practitioners need therapeutic efficiency and patients benefit from strategies that are manageable and sustainable.
A Speciality Within a Speciality: Neurodiversity in Women’s Hormonal Health
Katey Weekes, BioConcepts (Orthoplex)
Saturday 29th August, 4:00 pm - 4:50 pm (NZST)
Join Hormone and Headspace Naturopath and Head of Education and Clinical Affairs at Bio Concepts, Katey Weekes, for a clinically grounded exploration of the key drivers shaping symptom expression in neurodivergent women. Blending evidence with lived clinical insight, Katey will share the subtle but powerful interventions that transform outcomes – and everyday life – for neurodivergent women.

Rebecca Edwards, Activated Probiotics
