Metabolic Syndrome: Pathways, Subtypes and Precision Nutrition, Part 2
Date: 26th August at 3pm
Presented by Benjamin Brown, ND
Event Description
Over 30% of adults present clinically with Metabolic Syndrome, a cluster of risk factors including glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, obesity, and elevated blood pressure that together dramatically increase risk of cardiometabolic disease. The development of metabolic syndrome is dynamic and multifactorial, but dietary factors, ectopic obesity, insulin resistance, and inflammation all play a central role.
Clinically, biomarkers can help identify and direct management, including glucose homeostasis, waist measurement, lipid fractions, blood pressure, nutritional biochemistry, uric acid, inflammatory markers, and bioactive adipokines. Furthermore, unique clinical phenotypes based on adiposity, vascular health, blood lipid profiles, insulin resistance, and hormonal profiles have been identified and translate to specific management approaches.
In this important webinar, we breakdown and demystify metabolic syndrome by exploring validated clinical assessments that reveal subtypes and help direct effective evidence-based nutritional and lifestyle management approaches. We also explore key issues such as nutrient-drug interactions and integrative patient care.
Learning objectives
- The key drivers of the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome
- Simple routine clinical assessments that can be used in clinical practice
- Biomarkers and functional laboratory testing
- How to personalize nutritional approaches to different clinical subtypes
