As clinicians, we must restore function for a patient to heal. Certainly, restoring organ and gland function is essential, yet it is far too easy to overlook the deeper fundamentals of cellular metabolism—and here we see the essential actions of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus again and again.
Cell membrane transport and integrity, mitochondrial function, genetic expression through transcriptional and translational regulation, signaling pathways, neurotransmitter activity, autonomic nervous system regulation, adrenal and androgenic hormone modulation, and liver, kidney, and cardiac functions all depend on the precise balance of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus.
In this webinar, we will delve into the physiology, nutritional sources, laboratory testing, physical findings, and signs and symptoms of both deficiency and excess for these critical minerals. You will learn to clearly identify when these minerals are needed, how to balance them optimally, and how to select the most appropriate form for each patient's unique requirements.
Key Learning Points:
- Understand the physiology and interactions of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus
- Recognize signs and symptoms of deficiency or excess
- Identify optimal dietary sources for Ca, Mg, and P
- Interpret physical and laboratory findings for mineral status
- Learn how to select the best supplement forms based on clinical presentation
