Addiction to alcohol, tobacco, cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, benzodiazepines, cannabis, and opioids can be devastating, but video games, online porn, internet gaming, Internet gambling, and other technological addictions can be every bit as addictive. These addictions can have real-world ramifications and lead to the loss of jobs, money, and loved ones. As technology becomes integrated into every facet of modern life, these technological addictions are becoming increasingly prevalent. This session will inform healthcare professionals about the addictive potential of technology and help them view these addictions as legitimate psychiatric conditions worthy of medical assessment, diagnosis, and treatment.

Ketamine is well-known as the quickest acting anti-depressant, with profound effects after 40 minutes. While helpful, it is also known that ketamine has significant toxicity and questionable duration of effect. Mounting research shows many natural compounds that may affect the body’s biochemistry in a way that can mimic the positive effects of ketamine. This session will explain the mechanisms of ketamine action and review the animal and clinical research showing the use of lifestyle modifications, supplements, and Chinese herbs that can have similar effects. The presentation will also review how genetic predisposition, toxic exposure from environmental toxins, and products of internal processes can affect these pathways.

Food is not only medicine, but is the first line of defense in healing, before medicines and supplements.

Patients need real and tangible strategies, and manageable steps to facilitate lasting behavioral change. Practical culinary, meal planning, and shopping techniques will be provided to make healthy cooking at home fast, budget friendly, and delicious.
