"Life is All About Energy" is a training film for osteopaths that focuses on understanding the role of energy in human health and well-being. It discusses various aspects such as insulin resistance, stress, and the microbiome, highlighting their impact on perceived energy levels and overall health.

Ingeboorg Depoorter discusses the key elements of human biochemistry in the context of energy production. She also provides specific tips and tools that can be applied in daily osteopathic practice and in life. This is a practical guide that helps viewers understand how different aspects of life influence daily energy levels.

This educational video explores the fascinating relationship between the vagus nerve and the immune system. The introduction recounts historical insights and experiments, such as those by Dr. Valsalva, highlighting the vagus nerve's role in controlling inflammation. The video delves into chronic inflammatory diseases exacerbated by modern lifestyles, introducing the concept of "Resoleomics," the process of inflammation resolution.

Key regulatory systems, the SAM and HPA axes, are explained in their role in stress and immune response. The video emphasizes how chronic stress can lead to low-grade inflammation, affecting over 50% of people in modern societies.

The video outlines the phases of inflammation: initiation, resolution, and termination, and discusses how factors like diet and medication impact these processes. It highlights the importance of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and the negative effects of high glycemic foods on inflammation.

The critical role of the vagus nerve in immune regulation is emphasized, particularly through the vagal anti-inflammatory loop. Practical aspects for osteopaths, such as identifying and treating vagus nerve dysfunctions, are covered. The video concludes with the potential of manual techniques and lifestyle modifications to optimize vagus nerve function and overall health.

This educational video for osteopaths delves into the complex subject of migraine, one of the most prevalent neurological conditions affecting millions worldwide. The introductory chapter emphasizes the necessity of addressing migraines due to their widespread impact and the often limited scope of traditional symptom-focused therapies. The presenter highlights ten common but unhelpful statements migraine sufferers frequently hear, such as "Just reduce your stress" or "Why don't you take a pill?", and debunks these misconceptions.

Statistical data reveal significant differences in migraine prevalence between Western Europe and regions like South America, Asia, and Africa, suggesting lifestyle and environmental factors play crucial roles. The video discusses "Cortical Spreading Depression" (CSD), a key mechanism in migraine pathogenesis, linking it to the activation of the trigeminovascular system and pain onset.

Key parts of the video include identifying "red flag" headaches needing urgent medical attention and distinguishing between migraines with and without aura. It also addresses children's migraines, noting differences in symptoms compared to adults.

Pathophysiologically, the video underscores the role of the hypothalamus and systemic factors like insulin resistance and low-grade inflammation in triggering migraines. The comprehensive approach includes patient education, lifestyle modifications, trigger identification and avoidance, and manual osteopathic treatments.

The video concludes with practical therapy strategies, emphasizing personalized patient care, the potential benefits of supplements like magnesium, riboflavin, and coenzyme Q10, and the efficacy of osteopathic manipulative treatments in managing migraines, improving resilience, and reducing susceptibility to attacks.
