Inside the cell — Lipid Replacement 101

Online · Self-paced · $199

LRT 101: Foundations

The vocabulary you need before the room. Nine lessons that build from the structure of the cell to why membranes fail — and what can be done about it.

You will be able to:

  • Explain how cells become damaged and where lipids sit in that process
  • Distinguish fatty acids, phospholipids, and plasmalogens — and what each one does
  • Follow phospholipid metabolism: synthesis, remodeling, breakdown, regulation
  • Understand the rationale behind lipid replacement before you apply it

Self-paced, with studies and articles for anyone who wants to go further. Included at no additional cost with LRT 102 — complete it beforehand and the workshop starts at clinical application, not first principles.

LRT 102: Clinical Application — cell membrane bilayer

Two days · In person · Alpharetta, GA · Dates TBA

LRT 102: Clinical Application

Two days of instruction in the clinical application of lipid replacement therapy and plasmalogen replacement therapy. Sessions cover membrane lipid biochemistry, specialized laboratory testing and interpretation, protocol construction from individual patient results, substrate selection, and the administration of LRT IV therapy infusion.

Content:

  • Synthesis and metabolism of fatty acids, phospholipids, and plasmalogens
  • Cholesterol, lipid rafts, and lipid droplets, including pre-conception considerations
  • Bioactive free fatty acids; adrenic, vaccenic, and nervonic acids
  • Butyrate and sodium phenylbutyrate: comparative clinical use
  • Specialized laboratory panels — selection of tests and interpretation of results
  • Construction of individualized protocols from laboratory findings
  • Substrate selection: indication, dosing, and sequencing
  • LRT IV therapy infusion — preparation, dosing, administration technique, post-infusion considerations, institutional policy and compliance requirements, with supervised hands-on training
  • Case analysis: autism, Lyme disease and cholesterol efflux, and other complex chronic presentations
  • Advanced Special Topics: lipid droplets, ferroptosis, and cardiolipin synthesis. Topics are revised for each offering; practitioners who have completed the course previously may attend for these sessions.

Participants receive research literature, patient education materials, dosing references, and troubleshooting guidance. The course concludes with a written examination. The DNAcademy Certificate in Lipid Replacement Therapy is awarded on successful completion.

$1,398 — two days, in person · LRT 101 included

$1,199 — LRT 102 only, for practitioners who have already completed LRT 101. Completion is verified at enrollment.

LRT 103: Case Review

60 minutes · 1:1 · Remote · $300

LRT 103: Case Review

You have started. Now you have a patient who isn’t responding the way the protocol predicted.

Bring the case — labs, history, what you have tried — and work it through directly with Dr. Doniparthi. One patient, your questions. The fastest way to turn a course into confident practice.

Sixty minutes, one-to-one and remote. Open to practitioners who have completed LRT 102.

DNAcademy Certificate in Lipid Replacement Therapy

Awarded on successful completion of LRT 101, LRT 102, and the written examination at the close of the two-day workshop. Enrolling in LRT 101 + 102 at $1,398 covers the full certificate coursework in a single enrollment. Practitioners who have already completed LRT 101 may enroll in LRT 102 alone at $1,199.
