Metabolic Nutrition Seminar
The seminar will explore the nutritional-metabolic side of the Health Triangle, delving into the relationships between diet, inflammation, and general well-being.
Main topics:
- Toxicity and health: How to assess the effects of chemicals and medications on the body through muscle testing.
- Inflammation and nutrition: Nutritional strategies to modulate inflammation and support health recovery.
- Personalized diet: Practical tools for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory diseases.

INTRODUCTION TO THE SEMINAR
The Nutrition-Metabolic (biochemical) side of the health Triangle, with its multiple aspects (integration and nutritional deficiencies), affects and influences our health.
Intoxication causes health problems, but not every intoxication is dramatic or can cause immediate symptoms of illness, making it difficult to identify: a small gas leak from domestic stoves or pesticides deposited on fruits or vegetables can insidiously intoxicate, as can prolonged use of medications.
The Kinesiologist can evaluate, with appropriate muscle tests, the effects of chemical compounds and medicines on the body and recommend useful nutritional complexes to improve the general state of health.
Inflammation and nutrition
Biochemical and metabolic effects of nutritional modulation.
The current understanding of the relationship between food and inflammation allows for the use of simple nutritional suggestions with results sometimes more satisfactory than those obtained with (albeit effective) traditional drugs.
Through nutrition, it is possible to modulate many aspects of chronic inflammatory diseases and promote the recovery of health and well-being, giving value to the patient’s autonomy. This is a valuable contribution to the care and treatment of patients with various pathologies by Doctors, Chiropractors, Osteopaths, and other professionals, by all those who care for the health and well-being of the person.
In light of the most recent discoveries in the field, based on precise scientific documentation, during the two weekend seminars, Doctors Fabio Scoppa and Joseph Cannillo will illustrate the fundamental relationships between nutrition and inflammatory processes affecting various body districts, from the gastrointestinal to the musculoskeletal. For example, the relationships between chronic joint inflammation and food reactions will be discussed and explained, addressing the topic in a concrete way and providing tools and indications that can be immediately used in clinical practice.
Ample space will also be given to the topics of nutritional integration through functional foods or specific “supplements”, real tools to help with a global approach to patient care.
In the course proposed by Aika, Prof. Scoppa, Prof. Cannillo, and Dr. Jean Pierre Meersseman will address the following topics:
Understanding inflammation and its relationships with lifestyle:
- Practical advice with great biochemical and metabolic effect.
- Nutrition and signaling;
Cytokines and health; - Adipokines and health;
- Simple tools for change;
- Possible modulations with supplements and integrators;
- Effects of nutrition in the words of the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) and the National Institute of Cancer (NIC).
Food-induced inflammation and food reactions.
Their scientific aspects and modern management.
- Why it no longer makes sense to talk about “food intolerances”.
- What is food-induced inflammation;
- Modern approach according to new immunology research;
- Critical history and current evidence;
- Diseases related to immunoinflammation and possibilities for clinical intervention;
- Inflammatory interference and nutrition.
Individual diet and signal diet.
Simple tools for prevention and well-being:
- Prevention and management of inflammatory processes through nutrition;
- Insulin resistance and eating habits;
- Understanding the biochemical and neurological bases to modulate adipokines;
- Neuro-hormones and nutrition;
- Hormonal balance and nutrition;
- Muscle performance and nutrition;
- Dietary supplements and supplements;
- Cytokine-specific supplements and health;
