Abstract:
Relevance: More providers today are seeing and treating
patients with obesity, morbid obesity, glucose intolerance, insulin
resistance, diabetes, dementia and cardiovascular disease today.
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 and more effective approach
that addresses all of these diseases 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 Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene, (which transports fat and
cholesterol) and nutrition may provide greater insight into
how a gene-supportive environment can promote optimal 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
medicine primary care providers, medical specialists, registered
dieticians, exercise physiologists, physical therapists, pharmacists,
psychotherapists, certified personal exercise specialists.
Objectives: 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.
Methods: Lecture, Questions & Answer, Power Point Presentation.
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.
