Clinically Effective Therapies for Reversing Heart Disease & Diabetes
May 20, 2012
Reversing the “Diabesity” Pandemic
Obesity and blood sugar issues now affect over 1 billion people worldwide, many undiagnosed. And metabolic syndrome is emerging as a major driver of most chronic diseases of aging, such as cardiovascular disease. But many current intervention strategies have proven ineffective or harmful.
Join Dr. Mark Hyman to explore innovative clinical approaches to the “diabesity” continuum of health problems—ranging from mild insulin resistance and overweight to obesity and diabetes—that affect over 1 billion people worldwide. These highly prevalent conditions also contribute to cardiovascular disease and other chronic illnesses that compromise healthy aging.
At this practice changing seminar, you’ll discover:
- A comprehensive approach for addressing common lifestyle-related disorders
- Novel etiologic factors for diagnostic consideration
- Personalized therapies, including breakthrough nutritional application
Dr. Hyman will explain potential underlying causes that provide avenues for customized therapeutic intervention, such as environmental toxins, food sensitivities, hormonal dysregulation, gut microbiology, nutrient deficiencies, and abnormal gene expression.
To complement this presentation, Dr. Bridget Briggs will discuss the growing trend of testing for genetic polymorphisms and how to design individual treatment programs to help prevent cardiometabolic conditions. Dr. Deanna Minich will also lead an informative discussion on modern lifestyle therapies that incorporate phytonutrients to target underlying mechanisms of chronic disease and promote healthy aging.
