Alpha-Gal Syndrome: Recognition, Reaction & Relief

8 CE Hours In-Person Alpha-Gal Syndrome: Recognition, Reaction, and Relief Douglas Meyer, DC Saturday, June 13, 2026 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM (1 hour lunch) Alpha-Gal Syndrome: What Healthcare Providers Need to Know and Do A growing number of patients are walking into clinics with mysterious reactions—delayed hives, GI distress, unexplained inflammation, sudden allergic episodes, even anaphylaxis—often with no clear cause. Many of them have already seen multiple providers. Most are still undiagnosed. Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS) is no longer rare—and it’s being missed every day. This in-depth, 8-hour clinical seminar is designed for healthcare professionals who want to stay ahead of an emerging, life-altering condition that is especially prevalent in tick-dense regions like the Midwest. AGS is changing how food, medications, and immune responses must be evaluated, yet many clinicians have received little to no formal training on how to recognize or manage it. This course moves beyond awareness and into real-world clinical application. You’ll learn how AGS actually presents in practice, why symptoms are often delayed and misleading, how to identify hidden triggers, and how to interpret blood work with confidence. More importantly, you’ll gain practical strategies to help patients reduce reactions, improve quality of life, and avoid dangerous outcomes—while staying squarely within your professional scope. This seminar includes a hands-on practical portion with diagnosis and acupunture points utilized for treatment. This semiar will include 4 hours of acupuncture. Through case examples, clinical frameworks, and functional insights, this seminar equips healthcare providers to:

• Recognize AGS earlier—before symptoms escalate
• Ask better questions and uncover missed correlations
• Understand testing and lab results without confusion
• Educate patients clearly and effectively
• Support long-term compliance and lifestyle adaptation

Participants will be introduced to evidence-informed acupuncture techniques that help support immune modulation, reduce inflammatory burden, and assist in mitigating symptom reactions associated with Alpha-Gal Syndrome. With hundreds of thousands of Americans potentially affected—and numbers continuing to rise—Alpha-Gal Syndrome is becoming a condition every clinician must understand, regardless of specialty. If your patients live, work, or recreate outdoors…
If you practice in a region with high tick exposure…
If you see chronic, unexplained inflammatory or allergic patterns… This course will change how you evaluate and support your patients.
