·

Afifah Hamilton Cert Phyt, MNIMH, ITEC

Afifa Hamilton is an experienced herbalist whose attention

recently turned towards gaining a better understanding of metabolism, and

this has significantly altered her approach. In the past decade the

pace of research in this field has increased markedly, and herbalists are now

in a position to adjust their advice in line with this powerful new

understanding (and it isn’t through supplements!). Using this important

knowledge she has successfully treated many patients including a 15 year old

newly diagnosed type1 diabetic who is now causing her consultant to scratch her

head in wonder! On three occasions Afifah has been invited to present her work

to doctors at her local hospital, where she attends weekly GP training

sessions. She wants to share this new information with her herbalist

colleagues, so that they can make even greater improvements to their patients’

health.

Afifa’s talk will be

Metabolic Dysfunction - a new look at common conditions and

how to readily improve things through diet. The emphasis will be on

obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, endocrinology, neurology, dementia,

and cancer.
