    Brett Wisniewski DC, DACBN, DABCI

    Dr. Brett Wisniewski was born and raised in New Jersey. He attended Monmouth University where he received a Bachelors of Science degree in Biology with concentrated studies in Chemistry. Since, he has always gravitated towards the study of the human body and natural health. Dr. Wisniewski moved his family to Florida to further his studies at Palmer College Chiropractic where he graduated Cum Laude, with a Doctor of Chiropractic Degree.

    Dr. Brett Wisniewski has worked with leading nutraceutical companies in the areas of formulation and education. He travels the country, educating both the medical and alternative health care fields on natural treatments for the illnesses that plague our country. He has studied under some of the pioneers in the natural health industry and with thousands of hours invested into post-graduate studies in nutrition, he considers himself a lifelong learner.

    Dr. Wisniewski has seen patients bounced around in the traditional medical model with little to no results or answers. He believes finding the fundamental cause can cure most diseases. Dr. Brett Wisniewski has extensive knowledge in Nutrition, Sports Performance, Pettibon and C.L.E.A.R Scoliosis Structural Correction, Applied Kinesiology, weight loss and is currently pursuing a Diplomate from the Board of Chiropractic Internist and the Board of Clinical Nutrition. He enjoys pushing the envelope of healthcare to achieve better results, Naturally!

    “I feel, I owe it to my patients to never stop learning so I can provide them with the proper level of healthcare that they deserve.” –Dr. Brett Wisniewski

    Course Description

    Part 1 grounds the series in the diagnostic and acute-care end of practice, where pattern recognition and disciplined workup matter most. Through real-world cases, it moves from high- yield “in the news”; research to a structured urgent-care toolkit distinguishing viral from bacterial processes, managing acute inflammation and pain, and handling UTIs and foodborne  illness—before turning to gastrointestinal physiology, where mechanisms such as hypochlorhydria, hydrogen sulfide, and reflux are addressed with practical, biofeedback-driven dosing. The session then builds toward systemic interpretation: reading iron and anemia panels in the context of physical findings, and connecting cardiometabolic disease, heavy metals, and environmental pollutants to insulin resistance and vascular-cognitive risk. The throughline is recognition and workup seeing the pattern early and confirming it efficiently.

    Learning Objectives

    1. Differentiate viral from bacterial presentations in common urgent-care complaints (pharyngitis, acute inflammatory pain, UTI) and select evidence-informed acute intervention protocols accordingly.
    2. Correlate foodborne-illness symptom onset and timing with likely pathogen classes to guide triage and management decisions.
    1.   Apply a mechanistic, biofeedback-based approach to gastrointestinal complaints—including hypochlorhydria, sulfur/H₂S intolerance, and reflux—using betaine HCl dosing and related strategies.
    2. Interpret iron-metabolism and anemia laboratory panels alongside corroborating physical exam findings (e.g., scleral changes) to reach a defensible diagnostic impression.
    3. Evaluate environmental and cardiometabolic contributors to chronic disease—including heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants and their relationship to insulin resistance and vascular/cognitive risk.

    Course Description

    Part 2 shifts from recognition to optimization and treatment, opening with a rigorous framework for hormone assessment—when serum, saliva, or urine each tells the truth, how to read “normal labs but feels terrible,” and what estrogen-metabolite and clearance patterns imply for therapy and cancer risk. From there it surveys a therapeutic toolkit: repurposed medications, breast-health considerations, and systemic proteolytic enzymes weighed against NSAIDs for pain and inflammation. The session then explores metabolic levers—sugar metabolism, fasting and fasting-mimicking diets and their effects on immunosenescence, and the rapidly evolving GLP class, with practical attention to mechanism, monitoring, motility, and muscle preservation. It closes with high-utility neuro-metabolic and adjunctive pearls: differentiating fatigue from boredom and depression through dopamine and arousal, plus targeted approaches to restless leg syndrome, melatonin, shingles, and exercise as cancer-risk modification.

    Learning Objectives

    1. Select the appropriate hormone-testing modality (serum, salivary, or urinary) for a given clinical question and interpret discordant results, including estrogen-metabolite and cortisol-clearance patterns.
    2. Formulate individualized hormone-related management plans and articulate the considerations linking hormone therapy to cancer risk and protection.
    3. Compare the pharmacology and monitoring requirements of GLP-1, GLP-1/GIP, and triple-agonist medications, including effects on motility, electrolytes, lean mass, and body composition.
    4. Integrate metabolic and longevity-oriented interventions—fasting and fasting-mimicking diets, systemic enzymes versus NSAIDs, and exercise—into adjunctive cancer and chronic-disease strategies.
    5. Distinguish fatigue from boredom and depression using dopamine and mental-arousal frameworks, and apply targeted protocols for restless leg syndrome, melatonin use, and shingles.
