Learning Objectives:
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
1.
Identify Common Underlying Imbalances: Recognize patterns and root causes underlying chronic health conditions, including insulin resistance, autoimmunity, and gut dysbiosis, from a systems-based approach.
2.
Apply a Systems-Based Framework: Use a structured approach to assess and address patient cases by identifying patterns of imbalance that contribute to complex health issues, facilitating a more individualized approach to care.
3.
Interpret Advanced Diagnostics: Gain insights into advanced diagnostic tools, such as lipid testing and biomarkers like uric acid, to enhance assessments of cardiometabolic and liver health.
4.
Formulate Personalized Management Strategies: Develop tailored treatment plans to address root causes in conditions such as insulin resistance, autoimmune disease, and gut dysbiosis, incorporating evidence-based lifestyle, dietary, and therapeutic interventions.
5.
Enhance Practical Skills Through Case-Based Learning: Engage in interactive case studies throughout the day to solidify understanding of identifying and managing underlying imbalances.
6.
Integrate New Strategies in Primary Care: Leave equipped with practical, evidence-based approaches to incorporate functional medicine principles in primary care, aimed at improving patient outcomes through a focus on root causes.
