Functional nutrition is the foundation stone of integrative medicine. The complex, chronic health issues of the twenty-first century need a holistic nutritional approach that looks at genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors and provides a systems-based framework for treatment. Functional nutrition is particularly helpful for improving patient outcomes in diabetes, obesity, the metabolic syndrome, chronic fatigue, neurodegeneration, bone health, and cardiac health.
The fundamental concepts behind functional nutrition can be mastered in an intensive weekend seminar that also teaches healthcare professionals how to identify and manage common issues using an integrative medicine approach. In addition to learning the basics, participants will also learn how science-based nutritional products fit into therapeutic protocols that work. Join Dr. Robert G. Silverman for an eight-hour, one-day course that teaches the fundamentals of functional nutrition through a leading-edge, streamlined, implementable system that will provide you with actionable steps.
