綜觀功能醫學實務運作:個案研究與剖析
Exploring the Functional Medicine Model: A Case-Based Approach
功能醫學 (Functional Medicine) 是一提供個人化、系統性的治療方法,能夠讓病患與醫師藉由彼此更緊密的溝通來協同達成更好的治療成效與健康狀態。
慢性疾病的起因主要來自於個人的基因差異、環境、與生活型態交互作用下所導致的結果。功能醫學強調這些潛在病因並提供醫師與健康照護人士更好的方法,來治療這些複雜的疾病與起源。
功能醫學視全身為一體的系統,並藉由了解疾病潛在的途徑與生理模型,來治療疾病的起源,而非僅僅治療個別的孤立症狀。這一逐漸受到醫界重視的診斷與治療模式,更符合現今改善慢性病的預防與治療方法。
為了強調病患在健康照護療程中參與度的重要性,功能醫學強調以患者為中心,與病患共同討論完整病史與細節,並追溯疾病的起因、誘發、與調節因素。這種治療上的夥伴關係能創造與發展出更佳的治療計畫與成效。

The Functional Medicine Approach to Chronic Disease: Identifying and Treating the Cause
Kristi Hughes, ND
Functional Medicine is more than an alternative set of treatments for chronic disease; it is a systems-based, methodologic approach to medicine. Using tools developed by IFM, Dr. Hughes will discuss and outline the rationale for the Functional Medicine approach and then compare and contrast that with the typical standard of care.
8:30 - 10:00 am
Applying Functional Medicine to Address Cardiometabolic Syndrome Concerns
Kristi Hughes, ND
Functional Medicine focuses on finding the root causes of dysfunction, and then employs individualized treatment plans to improve health and well-being. Dr. Hughes will use a typical case of cardiometabolic syndrome to guide participants through a variety of exercises to help build an understanding of the Functional Medicine Model, including the use of the Timeline, Matrix, and the concepts of Antecedents, Triggers, and Mediators (ATMs).

Mapping the Territory: Clinical Imbalances Underlying Cardiometabolic Syndrom
Deanna Minich, PhD
Dr. Minich will more deeply explore the Functional Medicine approach to cardiometabolic syndrome. She will identify the clinical imbalances underlying cardiometabolic conditions, including dysinsulinism, inflammation, the presence of toxins, altered blood lipids, and abnormal body fat distribution. Participants will prioritize these clinical imbalances using the concepts presented earlier in the workshop.

The Role of the Nutrition-oriented Physical Exam to Impact Personalized Dietary Interventions
Deanna Minich, PhD
Using the case developed in the morning, Dr. Minich will lead participants in activities to build practical skills for identifying nutritional deficiencies. These evaluations include an assessment of the “ABCDs” of the functional nutritional evaluation: anthropometrics, biomarkers, clinical assessment, and diet evaluation. This skill set is a cornerstone for improving and personalizing dietary choices. This session will also explore the IFM Food Plan offerings that address the underlying causes of metabolic disease, revealing how to personalize a dietary intervention.

Case-based Learning: Exploring the Expanded Palette of Therapeutic Options
Kristi Hughes, ND
Dr. Hughes will return to the various clinical imbalances described earlier in the workshop as the basis for exploring the expanded array of treatment options prioritized and ordered based on the ATMs and clinical imbalances specific to the case.
