While the 20th century medical model was to approach each health condition as a separate entity, we are now witnessing the application of a systems biology approach to medicine—focusing on treating the central, underlying physiological dysfunctions in various chronic diseases.

Join Dr. Jeffrey Bland for this thought-provoking seminar on the application of a novel lifestyle medicine-systems biology approach to managing and reversing chronic illness. This science-based approach to medicine encompasses the application of nutrigenomics, or the regulation of genes through specific nutrients, as a core feature in targeting underlying dysfunctions. Learn how this next phase of research-validated lifestyle medicine can help you evaluate and address conditions such as:

Vascular diseases
Type 2 diabetes
Metabolic Syndrome
Osteoporosis

You will also discover validated biomarkers, innovative patient assessment tools, results of a newly completed multi-centered clinical trial, and clinically tested intervention approaches to improving outcomes in your practice

Jeffrey S. Bland, PhD

Jeffrey S. Bland is internationally respected for his groundbreaking work in nutrigenomics and nutritional biochemistry, applied clinical nutrition, and functional medicine. Dr. Bland received his PhD from the University of Oregon in 1971, and served as a professor of chemistry at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington, for 13 years. He also served as Senior Research Scientist at the Linus Pauling Institute of Science and Medicine, and directed the Bellevue-Redmond Medical Laboratory in Washington State. He is the author of more than 150 papers and five books on nutrition and its relationship to health and disease. For more than 15 years, Dr. Bland has produced Functional Medicine Update (FMU), a monthly audio tape in which he reviews and synthesizes the medical literature and interviews notable clinicians and researchers.
