Mastery of Neurochemistry of Cardiometabolic Disorders
Hypertension - Obesity - Diabetes
Those operating within the paradigm of functional neurology already understand the importance of fuel and activation. Anything that disturbs fuel delivery efficiency may be holding back your patients’ progress.
Why Mastery of Neurochemistry of Cardiometabolic Disorders?
Those operating within the Functional Paradigm know the importance of fuel and activation. Anything that negatively impacts the efficiency of fuel delivery may be holding back your patient’s progress. The well-trained clinician can recognize, diagnose and support patients with cardiometabolic disorders and their concomitants. Here is your opportunity to learn from a highly-rated teacher who applies the concepts taught in this program every week to great success.
Who is this class for?
Whether new to neurology and functional medicine or a seasoned veteran, this program will guide you through the broad field of cardiometabolic disorders.
The healthcare professionals that can attend this program are MD, DC, DO, PT, OT, ATC, LMT, ND, LAc, PA, NP, and CA (If accompanied by DC).
The Treatment Approach Taught In Mastery of Neurochemistry of Cardiometabolic Disorders
Learn what is normal cardiometabolic physiology so you can recognize abnormal and know what physical, neurological, and laboratory testing you need to do for your patient. Demystify diet, lifestyle, and neutraceutical recommendations. Learn simple, actionable, and powerful applications to help your patients with their cardiometabolic disorders, and to maximize your changes of positive outcomes with your other care.
