What you will learn

  • Course Summary

  • We’re in the midst of an epidemic of chronic disease unlike anything human beings have ever experienced. It's destroying our quality of life, undermining the health of future generations, threatening to bankrupt our economy, and driving physicians away from medicine. Unfortunately, our current model of “disease management" has not only failed to address the problem, it has contributed to it. In this presentation, I will outline a new paradigm of healthcare—and health—with the potential to prevent and reverse chronic disease and create personally and financially rewarding practices for healthcare professionals. This approach combines functional medicine, an evolutionary perspective on diet and lifestyle, and a collaborative micropractice model to revolutionize patient care and restore the vibrant health that is our birthright.
    By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

    • Explain a shift in healthcare services that could dramatically change how we treat chronic diseases
    • Discuss evolutionary models to manage diet, health, and lifestyle
    • Discuss new approaches to disease management

Course includes:

  • Video recording
  • Downloadable audio
