PROF. JULIA RUCKLIDGE
Micronutrients as a Treatment for Psychiatric Disorders: Rethinking the Scientific Paradigm.

Despite the advent of medications and other therapies over the last 50 years, the rates of mental illness have been on the rise rather than a decline. Over the last decade, scientists have been uncovering an uncomfortable truth: What we eat is affecting our mental health. In this lecture, Prof Rucklidge will discuss the recent paradigm shift of using broad based micronutrients to treat psychiatric disorders, reviewing the hypothesized mechanisms of action and the evidence to date.

CHRISTABELLE YEOH
Mitochondrial metabolism and mismatch: an evolutionary perspective.

Our mitochondria are structures we have for evolutionary advantage- affording us enduring energy and survival. We are all familiar with the ATP energy associations of the mitochondria. How about the other aspects of survival however? Are we looking after these? This talk will provide an overview of mitochondrial metabolism, the nuts and bolts of Life and its requirements as Nature has dictated from an evolutionary perspective. This includes not only what and how we feed our mitochondria, but also translating the needs of innate immunity.
