Presenter: Lyn Patrick, ND

Original Date: March 25, 2023

There is a bevy of mishandled substances that affect human health. Dr. Patrick will focus on pesticides as the most common of these challenges, but her talk will also include reference to the recent derailment disaster. Preventable yet prevalent, this talk will highlight concerns and action needs, and then offer updates and review as relevant to diagnostics and treatment management.

Lyn Patrick, ND, graduated from Bastyr University in 1984 with a doctorate in naturopathic medicine and has been in private practice in Arizona and Colorado for 35 years.

She is a published author of numerous articles in peer-reviewed medical journals, a past Contributing Editor for Alternative Medicine Review, and recently authored a chapter in the newly released textbook Clinical Environmental Medicine (Elsevier 2019).
