Improving Patient Outcomes Using Functional Genomics – 3 Part Webinar Series with Bob Miller
29th, January 2022
$249
Personalised nutrition – eating based on who you are and how nutrition interacts with your genetic make-up is according to Bob Miller, a game changer in the way we treat nonresponding clients.
Bob is a leader in the field of Genomics, specialising in the relationship between environmental and other epigenetic factors and how these influence non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as stroke, heart disease, cancers, and chronic respiratory disease. According to Bob, genomics are the number one cause for poor treatment outcomes and a leading cause of death and disability within Australia.
Join Bob in this special 3 part webinar series that will explore how almost all complex chronic diseases are influenced by gene-environment interactions. Develop an understanding of the genomic impact of heavy metals, endocrine disruptors, tobacco smoke, polychlorinated biphenyls, diesel exhaust particles, pesticides, and other indoor and outdoor pollutants and how they are contributing to nearly two-thirds of the total deaths caused by unhealthy environments.1
Understanding epigenetic mechanisms is crucial to optimising and restoring health. Learning how to provide therapeutic interventions to non-responding clients and being part of an exciting change towards precision nutrition will bring your clinical skills to the next level.
You will learn how to:
- Understand basic genetic mechanisms and apply functional nutritional and environmental medicine knowledge to the assessment and care of individual patients
- Critically appraise the research literature on genetic mutations and develop basic evidence-based functional genomic health care strategies for individual patients
- Identify the appropriate clinical tests and ideal reference ranges using functional genomics to optimise health
- Communicate effectively with patients about functional genomics
The nutritional and environmental medicine community is in urgent need of trained specialists in this field. Act now and register for this training below!
