David M. Brady, DC, CCN, DACBN Seminar 2001
The Functional Medicine Approach to the Management & Prevention of Chronic Disease
*This exciting seminar explores the patient-centered Functional Medicine approach to the management and prevention of many of the most prevalent chronic disorders facing the ambulatory practitioner. Emphasis will be put on "functionally" evaluating all aspects of the patients health and metabolism which may result in a chronic disease state. This includes learning the treatment approaches and functional interpretation of the leading laboratory assessments available today in modern scientific-based integrative medicine. Real-life case studies will be presented to bring to life the concepts presented, and allow you to understand how to apply these concepts in your busy practice. While the practitioner who is new to the functional medicine will find this seminar an understandable entry point into functional medicine training, the advanced practitioner will also find substantial depth in this presentation allowing for a much greater understanding of the underlying mechanisms and principles that form the foundation of functional medicine.
