About this course

The ageing of the immune system, known as immune senescence, is a fundamental driver of chronic disease and reduced longevity. In an era where healthcare spending is at an all-time high, yet health outcomes are often declining, understanding the intersection of biological age, 'inflammaging', and immune resilience is essential for the modern, natural healthcare clinician.

Donnie Yance, a renowned clinical herbalist and nutritionist, explores the complex and evolving landscape of the ageing immune system. He moves beyond simple symptom management to discuss the "Unitive Healing" model - a holistic approach that integrates the Eclectic Triphasic Medical System with cutting-edge botanical medicine.

This presentation provides deep insight into how chronic stress, environmental toxins, and nutritional deficiencies accelerate the biological clock, and more importantly, how these processes can be mitigated.

By focusing on the "Four Requirements of Life" - Energy, Adaptation, Protection, and Reproduction - Donnie provides a framework for you to help your patients age with vitality. This session provides many tools to shift the focus from lifespan to 'healthspan', using the power of adaptogens and multi-targeted herbal formulations to harmonise the immune response and promote systemic longevity.
