Learn from the best…
Choosing CPD can be difficult – but we’ve made it easy for you!
The IHCAN Conferences and Summit bring world-class industry leaders almost to your doorstep.
We’ve done the hard work of choosing the best. All you have to do is turn up and soak up the learning. We provide an education-rich environment with sensible breaks and healthy food – plus you get slides and audio to review at home. And as far as CPD goes, it’s no risk: our events regularly get a 95%+ approval rating from delegates.
We’ve also put effort into making the days’ experience easy for you to enjoy with your community and network with your peers. We know this enhances the whole learning experience.
Our speakers are briefed to give you the absolute latest evidence-based “downloads”, but also to deliver clear takeaways that you can immediately use in your practice.
You’ll leave informed, inspired and ready to rumble.
There’s CPD, and then there’s IHCAN CPD: join us and feel the difference.

Speakers for 2022
Dr Robert Lustig
Inspirational author of “Metabolical”, neuroendocrinologist and professor at the University of California (UCSF), identified the eight pathologies underlying all chronic disease – and supplies the evidence that Big Pharma and Big Food are killing us.
Dr Zouë Lloyd-Wright
Dr Zouë Lloyd-Wright has conducted major studies on thousands of subjects investigating cancer, endocrine disorders and cardiovascular disease – and has uncovered the neglected therapeutic importance of minerals in the treatment and prevention of chronic diseases – and potentially in long COVID.
Anne Pemberton
A regular contributor to IHCAN magazine, Anne practices functional medicine runs a busy international clinic specialising in Autism spectrum disorders and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Expert nutrigenomics educator, Anne translates the theoretical aspect of SNPs into practical clinical applications. From experience both personally and in her international functional medicine practice, she explains the genetic “work-arounds” that practitioners need to deal with COVID and long COVID.
Dr Malcolm Kendrick
The Scottish GP leading the challenge to the evidentially-outdated “cholesterol causes heart disease” model, Dr Kendrick has finally produced the definitive book on the subject – “after only 30 short years of research”, as he puts it. He explains what really causes cardiovascular disease, so we know what to about it.
Chris Newbold
With a strong emphasis on real life case studies, Chris explores the links between gut and nervous system, drawing on more than 16 years experience and working on the “front line” in one of the UK’s busiest practitioner support teams.
Dr Ciara Wright
Director of Glenville Nutrition Ireland and National Clinic Supervisor. Ciara believes in evidence-based practice, bringing conventional science together with a functional medicine approach to nutrition. She contributes to the medical literature with review publications and recommendation papers – see her extensive research here: https://glenvillenutrition.ie/research-in-nutritional-science
Dr Cate Shanahan
A pioneer in “natural nutrition”, Dr Shanahan with her book Deep Nutrition brings the traditional foods approach of Weston Price bang up to date with modern knowledge of nutrigenomics and the effects of modern foods. As a clear example, she shares the evidence-based motivation for getting clients to completely eliminate processed oils manufactured from cottonseed, corn, soy, and canola and others, and shares the outstanding benefits she sees in her family practice.
Dr William Davis
William Davis, MD is cardiologist and author of the groundbreaking #1 New York Times bestseller Wheat Belly, three other New York Times bestsellers: Wheat Belly Cookbook, Wheat Belly 30-Minutes (or Less!) Cookbook, and Wheat Belly Total Health, and several other books including Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox and Undoctored. His most recent book is Super Gut: A Four-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health and Lose Weight that maps out the damage that has occurred with the modern human microbiome and the specific, actionable steps that can be taken to re-store it to maximum advantage.
Katie Sheen
Katie qualified from The Institute for Optimum Nutrition in 2008 and established her private practice at Amaranth in Bramhall, winners of the CAM Clinic of the Year 2010.
IoN graduate and founder of an award-winning clinic, Katie has made a name for herself by painlessly incorporating “mindfulness” into her nutritional therapy practice. When clients say they want to overhaul their diets and lifestyles and then don’t, what do you do? Katie has become an expert in helping them overcome their own “resistance”.
Dr Dale Bredesen
First researcher to demonstrate – with peer-reviewed, published results – that Alzheimer’s and mild cognitive decline can be reversed, Dr Bredesen continually revises and updates his protocols that have made Alzheimer’s potentially “optional”. A big part of his mission is educating and updating practitioners dealing with these neurological conditions that pharma-based medicine has no answers for.
Pete Williams

He recently developed a genetics panel and training for practitioners DNA Smile for periodontal disease risk and to better understand genes, bacteria and bacterial translocation on local and systemic health.
