Cardiovascular Disease and Genetics: Making a difference
Pamela McDonald
University of Arizona, USA
Relevance:
More providers today are seeing and treating
patientswithobesity,morbidobesity,glucoseintolerance,insulin
resistance,diabetes,dementiaandcardiovasculardiseasetoday.
Out of an obesity epidemic came a diabetes epidemic, out of
a diabetes epidemic - we are seeing a very serious dementia
epidemic. A dietary plan or nutrition therapy for these patients
could prove to be a less expensive andmore effective approach
that addresses all of these diseases we are seeing on the
frontlines ofmedicine.
The epidemic of cardiac and chronic inflammatory diseases
is rampant. Traditional allopathic approaches are confusing,
serve to band-aid the problem, and are insufficient to address
the complex nature of these diseases, many of which are
related to a poor match between nutrition, lifestyle choices
and genetics. An understanding of the relationship between
the Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene, (which transports fat and
cholesterol) and nutrition may provide greater insight into
howagene-supportiveenvironment canpromoteoptimal cell
health. Utilizing an individual integrative medicine approach
which uses and an APO E gene specific anti-inflammatory
nutrition plan to create a gene supportive environment for
optimal health can be a critical and effective tool.
Target Audience:
Allopathic, alternative and integrative
medicineprimarycareproviders,medical specialists, registered
dieticians,exercisephysiologists,physicaltherapists,pharmacists,
psychotherapists, certifiedpersonal exercise specialists.
Objectives:
After attending this presentation, theparticipantwill
be able to: Describe the role diet has as a therapeutic tool for
heart disease, glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, diabetes,
hypertension and obesity. Be aware of a practical nutritional
protocol to effectively address the management of patients
presentingwith:geneticheartdiseaserisk,obesity,diabetes,insulin
resistance, glucose intolerance, dementia and hypertension.
Understandaonepractical effectiveprocessof howgeneticheart
disease, obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, glucose intolerance,
hypertension, dementia may be created and reversed.
Recognizekeygeneticandbehavioral components contributing
to genetic heart disease, obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance,
glucose intolerance, dementia and hypertension.
Describe individual dietarydifferences basedongenetic factors
and present a practical process to help prevent or regress this
“Metabolic Syndrome” types disease states.
Methods:
Lecture,Questions&Answer,PowerPointPresentation.
Expected Outcomes:
The importance of diet as it relates to
individual genetic expression for the - Metabolic Syndrome,
Coronary Artery disease and chronic illness type patients.
