Using a Food First Approach to Supporting Metabolic Syndrome, Hypertension, and Dyslipidemia within the Functional Medicine Model
The IFM Functional Nutrition system provides a structured clinical decision making process that integrates nutrition evaluation and identification of nutrition status, then guides practitioners, nutrition professionals, and health coaches toward preferred therapeutic interventions. In this lecture, Dr. Hughes will review dietary and nutrition considerations for managing metabolic-related health concerns. Food is Medicine and this discussion will review key dietary considerations for personalizing a patient’s food plan that can impact and improve insulin sensitization, reduced glucose levels, lower inflammation, and improve healthy body composition.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the primary role that diet plays in addressing the underlying causes of Metabolic Dysfunction.
- Determine caloric targets and macronutrient distributions for personalizing dietary interventions to improve glycemic response, reduce inflammation, and improve body composition.
- Identify key therapeutic foods having clinical benefits for improving Metabolic Syndrome, Hypertension, and Dyslidemia.
