Molecular approach to aging, oxidative stress and inflammatory conditions

Root Cause Protocol (RCP) is an effective treatment for a broad range of inflammatory and degenerative conditions. It is based on modern research and latest advances in molecular bio-chemistry of oxidative stress. The protocol is very gentle and supplements deficient minerals, retinol, food based vitamin C and B complex in order to restore cellular metabolism and iron re-cycling and reduce oxidative stress.

Research indicates that the great majority of us accumulate toxic levels of iron in our tissues, especially as we get older. Unbound iron is a major source of oxidative stress causing cellular damage, accelerated aging and slowing of metabolism, thereby contributing to chronic infections, inflammation and a host of degenerative conditions.

Iron accumulation in tissues is induced by several common factors: diets deficient in trace minerals (notably copper) and retinol; consumption of excess iron from enriched grains and dietary supplements; aging, stress and genetic predisposition.

Our RCP clients report higher energy levels and vitality, better digestion, reduced inflammation and pain and improvement in emotional well-being and cognitive function.

About the Instructor:

Marketa has practiced Chinese and functional medicine for 20 years and maintains ongoing research of natural approaches to aging and chronic illness. Her practice is inter-disciplinary combining intuitive approach of acupuncture and Chinese Medicine with deep understanding of Western pathophysiology and functional medicine.

She began her training in Western Medicine in 1992 at the doctoral program of First Medical School in Prague, Czech Republic, followed by Chinese Medicine training at Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in Portland.
For the last 11 years Marketa has served as an assistant professor at Five Branches University and taught academic courses in Chinese and Western Medicine as well as supervised clinical training.

In 2018, Marketa added Cyberscan to her practice to improve testing for the many stressors that contribute to chronic illness and to assess treatment protocols for bio-compatibility.

By combining Chinese Medicine, scalar biofeedback, RCP, nutrition and functional medicine Marketa has become a practitioner known for solving “medical conundrums” and sought out by chronically ill patients for whom other treatments have failed.
