  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).

  Morning Break

• 10:30 am - 12:00 pm

  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.

• 12:00 - 1:00 pm

  Lunch

• 1:00 - 2:30 pm

  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.

• 2:30 - 3:00 pm

  Afternoon Break

• 3:00 - 4:30 pm

  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.

• 4:30 - 5:00 pm
