Unraveling Neuroinflammation: From Gut to Brain and Beyond
This year’s program highlights exciting advancements in managing the most complex neurological and systemic inflammatory conditions. We focus on decoding the mechanisms that drive chronic disease, from the intricate interplay of the Gut-Brain Axis to the critical role of Environmental Toxicology and Metabolic Dysfunction.
Amy Rolfsen, ND will be presenting, On Fire: ADHD Through the Lens of Neuroinflammation. This talk explores the mounting evidence connecting neuroinflammatory processes with the pathophysiology of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). While traditionally conceptualized as a purely genetic or neurotransmitter-based disorder, ADHD is increasingly understood as a condition shaped by immune dysregulation, gut-brain axis disturbances, and early life environmental exposures.
Dr. Amy Rolfsen will guide attendees through emerging research on cytokine signaling, microglial activation, and gut-derived immune triggers in ADHD. The session will also touch on laboratory markers, functional testing, and clinical patterns that suggest inflammatory underpinnings—and discuss practical therapeutic strategies to help regulate the neuroimmune interface in both pediatric and adult ADHD presentations.
