Dr. Gina Presenting at the Advanced Applications in Medical Practice Conference and the International Congress on Naturopathic Medicine
Dr. Gina Nick, NMD, PhD presenting at the 2018 Advanced Applications in Medical Practice Conference in Scottsdale, AZ and the International Congress on Naturopathic Medicine in London. The theme of the Scottsdale conference was “The Brain-Advanced Approaches in Integrative Neurobiology.” She presented to physicians about innovative ways to prevent and treat addiction as a brain and systemic disease, cognitive decline, depression and anxiety.
She also presented on Gluathione and its Role in Neuroinflammation.
Some of the medical services used in her practice to address these challenges include glutathione and nutrient injection therapies, custom hormone balance, amino acid, fatty acid and nutrient therapy.
