Introduction:
More providers today are seeing and treating
patients with obesity, morbid obesity, glucose intolerance,
insulin resistance, diabetes, dementia and cardiovascular
disease. Out of 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 and
more effective approach that addresses all of this disease
we are seeing on the frontlines of medicine. 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
Apo lipoprotein E (APO E) gene, (which transports fat and
cholesterol) and nutrition may provide greater insight into
howa gene-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. The
methods used for this study include lecture, questions and
answer and power point presentation. After attending this
presentation, the participant will 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 presenting
with: genetic heart disease risk, obesity, diabetes, insulin
resistance, glucose intolerance, dementia and hypertension.
Understand a one practical effective process of how genetic
heart disease, obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, glucose
intolerance, hypertension, dementia may be created and
reversed. Recognize key genetic and behavioral components
contributing to genetic heart disease, obesity, diabetes,
insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, dementia and
hypertension. Describe individual dietary differences based
on genetic factors and present a practical process to help
prevent or regress this “Metabolic Syndrome” types disease
states.
