Studies have shown that hormones can have an affect on skin disease, and can exasperate already existing conditions.  This material covers hormones and contributing factors such as inflammation and the affects of inflammatory responses on skin disease.  Predisposed factors such as ethnicity is covered, as well as skin conditions such as acne, aging, keratosis pilaris, and hyperpigmented disorder such as melasma.  Preventative therapies are discussed as well as treatment applications.  This material provides the practitioner with a thorough understanding on the effects of hormones with the onset of skin diseases and disorders.     

LEARNING OBJECTIVES 

Explain the effects that hormones have on the body.  

Identify the effects of hormones on specific skin conditions.

Identify factors that contribute to hormonal disruption. 

Describe the effects of inflammation, hormones, and ethnicity.

This material covers the important factor of ethnicity when managing skin conditions. Ethnicity does play a role in the onset of various skin diseases, and is sometimes overlooked with cosmetic procedures.  The material covers skin diseases commonly found with Fitzpatrick Skin Phototypes I-VI, and discusses conditions such as rosacea and hyperpigmentation.  The course details clinical applications and predisposed risk factors, and offers the practitioner a thorough understanding of clinical applications when treating ethnicity.  This course material is crucial for all levels of practice.

Studies have shown that immunity is directly linked to disease, skin disease and skin barrier function.  The material is a thorough study of the immune system, and discusses the origin of the innate immune system. The course furthers into the function of the adaptive immune system and covers both humoral and cell mediated immunity. The lymphatic system is discussed and the specific role each white blood cell has within the immune system.  This study is a vital understanding on the effects of immunity and manifestations of skin disease.  

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Describe adaptive immunity.

Identify cellular immunity and humoral immunity 

Describe the lymphatic system.

Identify immune cells.

Determine the role of specific immune cells.

Explain the effects of inflammation on immunity.

Explain the effects digestive health has on immunity.

Module 2 Cells of the Immune System

Module 3 Inflammation and Immunity 

Module 4 Digestive Health and Immunity 

CORRESPONDENCE SELF STUDY BOOK CERTIFICATION.  This  material discusses the different types of immunity and details the role of immune cells.  The influence of inflammation and digestive health are covered and their effects on overall health and skin disease.  The book includes course material, review and answer key.

The endocannabinoid system was designed from conception to create homeostasis within the body.   This material discusses the relation between the immune system, the brain-gut axis, the lung-gut axis, and the response of cannabinoid receptors  in the brain, spinal cord, and in the skin.  This amazing system is designed to reduce inflammatory responses and strengthen immunity, preventing disease states and improving overall health.  The material details phytocannabinoids such as those found in plants, essential oils,  and essential nutrients.  Individual cannabinoids are covered with specific detail to the hemp plant, essential oils and supplement and their benefits on overall health and skin health. 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES 

Describe the endocannabinoid system. 

Describe the central nervous system, parasympathetic nervous systems.  

Explain the enteric nervous system and immunity.  

Identify inflammatory assaults and effects on immune health. 

Explain the cutaneous endocannabinoid system.

Explain the interconnection between the endocannabinoid system and skin disease.   

Describe the benefits of phytocannabinoids on skin disease and overall health.
