Have you always wanted to learn Manual Muscle Testing (MMT), along with the use of Kinesiology Test Kits, to support the best outcome for your patient supplement recommendations?
Benefits of MMT: Manual Muscle Testing can help to circumvent the expense of trying multiple supplements on a trial-and-error basis which can waste time in getting good results. It gives you the ability to narrow down the range of nutrients that best fit the patient, the condition and the situation. This can also help reduce the risk of product reactivity, which can happen even with the best of supplements.
Muscle Testing does not replace a good history, independent laboratory testing and your own expertise; however, it can give you the confidence to confirm your best treatment plan by complementing the information already determined.
About your presenter: The seminar will be taught by Sydney Chiropractor, Dr. Suzanne Labrie who has 25+ years of experience in using manual muscle testing, particularly with testing nutritional supplements and kinesiology test kits. Dr Labrie has a background in biochemistry, pharmacology, along with Applied Kinesiology and Professional Kinesiology Practitioner qualifications and has been presenting and teaching seminars since 2013. She goes out of her way to ensure each participant gets the best opportunity to become skilled at MMT.
What to expect: The seminar will include lots of hands-on practice, individual coaching, and plenty of examples and case studies. There is also the opportunity to have ongoing follow ups and advice if required. Pure Health Solutions Kinesiology Test Kits and Protocols will be utilized in the seminar to give you the best and most efficient results which are specifically designed for the benefit of each patient’s individual needs.
To purchase this seminar, you must be registered as a practitioner on our website.
Dates: Saturday, 5 July, 12:00 PM – 5:00pm. Sunday, 6 July, 9:00 AM – 4:00pm

The Adaptive Brain: Psychoneuroimmunology in Practice
Presented by: Dr Olivia Lesslar (MBBS, BIR). Dr Olivia Lesslar is an Australian-educated medical doctor specialising in psychoneuroimmunology, preventative medicine, and complex multisystem conditions.
What you can expect: Anxiety, stress, and mental health challenges are more prevalent than ever, with many patients seemingly resistant to “normal” treatments. In this seminar series, Dr. Olivia Lesslar explores a clinical framework that allows you to get the root cause of a patient’s symptoms by understanding that the human brain often perceives current challenges as echoes of ancient survival threats. Learn our eight primal fears and how they are triggered by today’s modern lifestyles, and a practical framework to personalise treatments.
You'll learn: How Ancient Threats Shape Modern Anxiety – Discover 8 primal fears shaping our survival instincts and how these are triggered by today’s modern lifestyles. The network of threat detection systems - Understand how the brain integrates sensory, physiological, and cognitive signals to respond to danger. Chronic stress or trauma disrupts this system, leading to common mental health challenges like anxiety, PTSD & more.
Clinical applications: Apply Dr Lesslar’s exclusive framework to real clinical cases, to explore innovative new clinical insights, and better understand the root causes of patients’ maladaptive behaviours and responses. This practical framework can help develop more effective and personalised treatments for anxiety, PTSD and other related disorders.
