OVERVIEW

Functional Medicine Advanced Practice Modules (APM) Cardiometabolic 2025 is organized by The Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) and will be held from Jan 13 - Mar 13, 2025.

Description:
Transforming the Assessment, Prevention, and Management of Chronic Metabolic and Cardiovascular Disorders.

What we will Learn:
Clinical competencies to be mastered through the Cardiometabolic APM conference:

Utilize the functional medicine matrix to develop a systems-based organization of clinical imbalance when taking a cardiovascular medical history.
Evaluate the evidence demonstrating the primary mechanisms underlying the relationship between endothelial dysfunction and the progressive development of atherosclerosis.
Identify the relationships between chronic stress and the development of dyslipidemias, hypertension, weight gain, and metabolic syndrome.
Evaluate and utilize new assessment approaches for identifying chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, autoimmunity, toxicity, and hormonal dysregulation in patients with cardiometabolic dysfunction.
Analyze the most practical and useful laboratory assessments and biomarkers necessary to evaluate cardiovascular risks and recognize functional patterns associated with metabolic disease.
Evaluate and utilize specific nutrients, phytonutrients, botanicals, pharmaceuticals, dietary plans, stress reduction techniques, and lifestyle interventions to improve the prevention and management of patients with hypertension, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.
