Bioactive Lipids: Expanding Horizons of Membrane Medicine 

Friday 6th November 09:00 – 17:00 in-person/online/recording 
+ Saturday 7th November  Clinical Workshop (by invitation only)

The BSEM’s November 2026 event reflects where the field of Bioactive Lipids has arrived today. The lipid story that BSEM members were tracing clinically through dietary fatty acids, red-cell lipid analysis at the Johns Hopkins Peroxisomal Diseases Laboratory, membrane structure and function, and inflammatory disease two decades ago has converged on mechanisms that are now active frontiers in biomedical research: the specialised pro-resolving mediators, the structural and signalling roles of DHA within the brain and nervous system, the influence of membrane phospholipid composition on cellular communication and metabolic function, the consequences of lipid depletion, and the evolutionary mismatch between modern diets and our lipid biochemistry.

What once appeared to be disparate observations are increasingly being unified through advances in lipidomics, neuroscience, immunology, and systems biology. We now understand that lipids function not only as structural components and energy substrates, but also as dynamic signalling molecules that influence inflammation, immune regulation, mitochondrial function, neuroprotection, cellular resilience, and tissue repair.

These are no longer questions at the margins. They sit at the intersection of neuroscience, immunology, metabolic medicine, photobiology and clinical nutrition, and they have direct, practical implications for how we treat patients with inflammatory, neurological, metabolic, and chronic degenerative disease.

The BSEM has always been an organisation that seeks to bridge the gap between the consulting room and the research bench. This event is an opportunity to do exactly that, in the company of clinicians and scientists who share that ambition.

NEW Webinar from BioCareMetabolic Shift: How the Hormonal Changes of Menopause Influence our Weight, Blood Sugar and Body ShapeWednesday 9th October, 1.00 PM

It is generally accepted that menopause slows metabolism.

As oestrogen levels drop, there is a tendency to lose muscle mass and gain fat, particularly around the midriff.

This webinar will explore whether fat gain and changing body shape are inevitable.

Why does metabolism shift so dramatically at this stage of life?

And most importantly, what can be done in terms of diet and lifestyle to mitigate these changes and protect metabolic health as we age?

The webinar will be recorded – all registrants will receive a video link afterwards. 1.5-hour CPD with NNA and ANP

Chronic Micro-Inflammation & Longevity The Friendly Fire behind Biological AgeingWednesday 16th September – 

1.00pm to 2.00pm

Acute inflammation saves lives. Chronic inflammation slowly changes them.

Chronic micro-inflammation — low-grade, persistent, and often clinically silent — is increasingly recognised not as a downstream consequence of disease, but as an upstream driver of it.

From cardiovascular disease and metabolic dysfunction to neurodegeneration, cancer, and accelerated ageing, the converging biology points to one terrain. Understanding that terrain is becoming one of the most clinically useful frameworks available to practitioners today.

The science is rapidly catching up. In 2023, chronic inflammation and dysbiosis were formally recognised as hallmarks of ageing, reflecting their central role in the ageing process. At the same time, landmark clinical trials have shown that reducing inflammation can lower cardiovascular risk independently of cholesterol, establishing residual inflammatory risk as a new and clinically actionable treatment target.

Key Learning Outcomes

✅ How chronic micro-inflammation differs from acute inflammation, and why resolution failure — not just excess activation — is central to its persistence

✅ The role of specialised pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) — resolvins, protectins, and maresins — as the body’s active “stop signals” for inflammation

✅ The key molecular players: NLRP3 inflammasome, cellular senescence and the SASP, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress

✅ How these pathways interconnect to become self-perpetuating

Immunosenescence and inflammaging: why the ageing immune system becomes simultaneously weaker and more inflamed — and what this means for surveillance, infection risk, and cancer

✅ The role of the gut-immune axis, visceral adiposity, sleep disruption, chronic stress, and environmental toxic load as upstream drivers

✅ How to recognise inflammatory terrain in clinical practice — including hs-CRP, IL-6, GlycA, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and functional assessment

Nutrigenomic considerations and personalised medicine approaches

✅ Therapeutic targets: omega-3 and pro-resolving precursors, microbiome support, targeted immunomodulation — including compounds studied for NK cell activity such as arabinoxylan rice bran

The Links Between Autoimmunity and Infections: Part 2

Sep 8, 2026 07:00 PM

Autoimmune diseases are often viewed as conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body. But could underlying infections be one of the missing pieces of the puzzle?

In this upcoming AONM webinar, Gilian Crowther, AONM’s Director of Research and an experienced Nutritional Therapist, explores the growing body of evidence linking chronic infections with the development and progression of autoimmune diseases.

Drawing on the latest scientific research and many years of clinical and laboratory experience with ArminLabs in Germany, Gilian will discuss how identifying and addressing underlying infections may help practitioners better understand and support individuals with autoimmune conditions.

In this second part of the series, you’ll discover:

• The evidence linking infections with autoimmune diseases

• The potential role of infections in inflammatory bowel disease, Sjögren’s syndrome, myasthenia gravis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome

• Laboratory testing that can help identify underlying infectious triggers

• How this knowledge can inform a more personalised approach to patient care

Whether you’re a healthcare practitioner looking to deepen your understanding of autoimmunity or interested in emerging research on infectious drivers of chronic disease, this webinar offers an evidence-informed perspective on an increasingly important area of functional and nutritional medicine.

Fibrinaloid Microclot Complexes in Chronic Inflammatory Diseases such as Long COVID and M.E

Sep 1, 2026 07:00 PM

Long COVID, M.E. and other chronic inflammatory diseases continue to present significant challenges for both patients and clinicians.

Could fibrinaloid microclots be one of the missing pieces of the puzzle?

In this upcoming AONM webinar, Professor Douglas Kell will explore the growing body of research on fibrinaloid (amyloid fibrin) microclots and their potential role in impaired microcirculation, reduced oxygen delivery, and persistent symptoms in conditions such as Long COVID and M.E.

Drawing on decades of research and a programme of work that has helped shape our understanding of fibrinaloid microclots alongside Professor Resia Pretorius, Professor Kell will explain the biology behind these abnormal clots, why they may evade conventional testing, and what current evidence suggests about their role in chronic inflammatory disease.

The webinar will also discuss emerging approaches to supporting fibrinolysis, including the evidence surrounding enzymes and other candidate nutraceuticals, while emphasising the importance of working alongside healthcare professionals when considering any therapeutic interventions.

Whether you’re a healthcare practitioner, researcher, or someone with an interest in the latest developments in Long COVID and M.E. research, this webinar offers an evidence-informed overview of one of the most rapidly evolving areas of chronic disease research.

From ‘Mystery Illness’ to Measurable Biology: A Practical Framework for Complex Chronic Presentations

Wednesday 19th August 2026 6pm to 7pm. 

Patients presenting with persistent fatigue, pain, brain fog and other complex multi-system symptoms can be among the most challenging to assess in clinical practice. 

In this webinar, Professor Gilbert will share a practical, evidence-informed framework for approaching these cases, helping clinicians navigate diagnostic uncertainty with greater confidence. 

Drawing on clinical examples, she will explore how pre-test probability, symptom timing and immune response patterns can support clinical decision-making when considering tick-borne disease and co-infections. 

Attendees will also learn a staged testing algorithm, recognise key red flags that influence clinical suspicion, and develop interpretation strategies that help reduce missed diagnoses while avoiding unnecessary “test hopping.”

Regulate, Don’t Suppress: A Functional Approach to Inflammation and Immunomodulation 

This course runs on two afternoons:

•  Wednesdays 9th, and 
• 23rd September 2026 1.30pm to 4.30pm. 

Inflammation isn’t just a switch to turn off and suppression is rarely the whole answer. This course builds a clear, clinically grounded understanding of inflammation as a staged process, introduces immunomodulation as a more precise and upstream way of working, and looks at the central role oxidative stress plays in driving and maintaining immune dysfunction.

Practitioners leave with a practical framework for choosing botanical and nutraceutical tools that work with the immune system rather than against it, and the confidence to apply this across their most complex cases.

This course opens with a focused revision of inflammation as a staged immunological process. From innate activation through to adaptive recruitment, amplification and resolution, with attention to the clinical levers available at each stage.

It then introduces the principles of immunomodulation, what it means to work upstream rather than suppress, how to assess the inflammatory landscape before selecting tools and why choosing interventions that act on multiple points of the cascade offers genuine clinical advantage.

The role of oxidative stress as both a driver and a consequence of immune dysregulation is addressed in depth, including how reactive oxygen species, redox imbalance, and post-translational protein modification contribute to the initiation and perpetuation of autoimmunity.

Key questions the course will answer include:

✅ Why do botanicals and nutraceuticals often outperform single-target drugs in complex immune presentations

✅ Which immunomodulatory tools multitask across antigen burden, barrier integrity, and T cell regulation

✅ When is antioxidant supplementation clinically indicated, and when might high-dose provision be counterproductive

✅ How do you build a nutraceutical programme for someone already on prescription immunosuppressants

The course closes by applying all of this to real-world clinical decision-making and coherent programme design.

Who is this course suitable for?

► Qualified nutritional therapy practitioners

► Nutritionists

► Dieticians

► Naturopaths

► Other qualified healthcare practitioners

► Final year nutrition students will also be welcome

The Institute for Optimum Nutrition 

— On-demand CPD Course

Introduction to Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating

Practitioners may struggle to identify eating difficulties early and feel unsure how to adapt traditional nutritional approaches without causing harm, and lack confidence about where their scope of practice ends and specialist support begins. 

This course introduces practitioners to eating disorders and disordered eating and the fundamentals of working safely, effectively and with confidence to support these clients. It includes recognizing common presentations, understanding key biochemical imbalances, and applying foundational nutritional, behavioral and psychological strategies to promote a positive relationship with food. 

While providing a clear framework for recognising red flags, understanding the underlying biochemical imbalances, and outlining gentle nutritional, behavioural and psychological interventions alongside clinical boundaries, referral routes and plans for further training and supervision, this course is an introductory day and does not constitute sufficient training to practice in this specialist field. 

Participants will be signposted to appropriate routes for further specialist training and supervised clinical practice.

YorkTest NEW Webinar Series – The Body’s Hidden Language

 — PART 1

This three-part webinar series, hosted by Caroline Gilmartin, Principal of the Natural Healthcare College, will explore the fascinating world of constitutional and functional observation, guiding participants to recognise the subtle messages the body reveals through visible features. Each session focuses on a different area, the Eyes, Tongue, and Nails, offering complementary perspectives on how to understand and support individual patterns of health, resilience, and balance.

The introductory session lays the foundation for the series by exploring Iridology, the observational study of the iris. Through examining patterns, colours and structures in the eye, participants will learn how constitutional tendencies and inherited strengths or weaknesses may be reflected in iris features. The session emphasises iridology as a preventative and educational tool, not a diagnostic method, to help recognise genetic and constitutional patterns that influence health and vitality.

The webinar bridges ancient observational practice with modern holistic understanding, providing a basis for applying these insights in personalised lifestyle and nutrition approaches.

Participants can expect to learn how to:

✅ Identify key iris features that indicate constitutional patterns

✅ Recognise how inherited traits influence health tendencies and stress responses

✅ Relate constitutional signs to digestive and detoxification capacity

✅ Use iridology insights to inform practical lifestyle and nutrition choices

✅ Relate constitutional patterns to practical recommendations in diet and lifestyle

Menopause in clinical practice: hormones, metabolism, brain and cardiometabolic health.

Are your midlife clients experiencing unexplained weight gain, mood changes, brain fog, sleep disruption, or rising concerns about longer-term cardiovascular and cognitive health? This one day course examines a whole-body, functional approach to the menopause transition equipping you with the clinical knowledge, testing tools, and evidence-based strategies to assess and address its multi-system impact in practice.

Menopause is not simply a reproductive event it is a profound, whole-body endocrine and metabolic transition driven by the decline of oestradiol and progesterone. These hormones influence virtually every system: the cardiovascular, metabolic, neurological, and gastrointestinal systems are all profoundly affected as their levels fall.

For practitioners, this complexity presents a challenge. Many women present with overlapping, multi-system complaints that don’t fit neatly into a single diagnosis. Supporting them effectively requires both a strong mechanistic understanding of what is changing and why, and a practical toolkit of evidence-based dietary, lifestyle, and supplementation strategies.
This one-day CPD course takes a functional, systems-based approach to menopause, beginning with the hormonal transition and the far-reaching consequences of hormone decline across the body and brain. It then moves through four key clinical domains:
– Metabolic health: insulin resistance, weight, sarcopenia, and mitochondrial function
– Cardiometabolic health: lipid changes, ApoB, blood pressure, endothelial function, and cardiovascular risk
– Brain health: mood, cognition, anxiety, and oestrogen-neurotransmitter interactions
– Gut health: the oestrobolome, microbiome shifts, motility changes and systemic impacts

The course includes a case study integrating perimenopause presentation with Urinary hormone testing, and guidance of key supplementation support.

Nutrition Collective Live Event in London – The GLP-1 Clinical Framework: Integrating Nutrition into Metabolic Care

Wednesday 20 May 2026

4.30 – 8.30 PM

Medical Society London

GLP-1 therapies are reshaping metabolic care at an unprecedented pace. But alongside the headlines, clinicians are left to navigate complex questions about long-term outcomes, sustainability, nutrition, and patient dependence.

The evening will bring healthcare professionals together to explore how GLP-1s fit into modern metabolic care without losing sight of physiology, behaviour, and long-term health.

Dr David Unwin, our keynote speaker and one of the most trusted clinical voices in metabolic health, will explore how GLP-1 therapies can be used thoughtfully and responsibly alongside nutrition-first strategies that protect metabolic resilience, muscle mass, and patient autonomy.

Rather than positioning GLP-1s as a silver bullet (or dismissing them outright), this keynote will challenge clinicians to think critically, ethically, and systemically about where these therapies belong in practice.

Lorna will forward the compelling concept of the future of immuno-gynaecology, positioning GLP-1 as a sophisticated immunomodulatory tool and hormone modulator with profound implications for women’s health.

This presentation explores how the systemic regulatory effects of GLP-1 redefine its role from a simple metabolic aid to a crucial intervention for the complex female immune and endocrine landscape.

➡ Lesley Harper 

In this presentation, Lesley examines the gastrointestinal implications of GLP-1 agonist therapies, positioning the gut as a central mediator of both therapeutic benefit and clinical complexity. Moving beyond appetite regulation and glycaemic control, she explores how GLP-1 medications influence bile flow, gut barrier integrity and microbial ecology.  This session outlines common GI presentations associated with GLP-1 use and provides a mechanistic framework for understanding their underlying drivers. It also considers practical strategies to mitigate digestive disruption and explores how endogenous GLP-1 production may be supported naturally through targeted nutritional and lifestyle interventions.

➡ Christine Bailey

Christine will explore how GLP-1 therapies influence gut physiology and microbial ecology, highlighting the complex shifts that can occur within the gastrointestinal environment during treatment. Moving beyond appetite regulation and glycaemic control, Christine examines emerging research on microbial diversity and key gut health markers, including changes in butyrate-producing bacteria and Akkermansia abundance, that may signal dysbiotic responses to sustained GLP-1 signalling.

Closing: Panel Discussion + Q&A

This is not a debate for headlines. It’s a clinical conversation for clinicians and practitioners shaping the future of metabolic care.

Activated Probiotics NEW Webinar

Women’s Health: Microbiome Balance Across Life Stages

Wednesday 25th March 2026

7.00 PM to 8.00 PM.

The female microbiome is dynamic, adapting continuously to hormonal fluctuations across the lifespan. From puberty through menopause, hormonal changes influence the composition of the vaginal, gut, and urinary microbiomes, and these microbial shifts, in turn, affect inflammation, pH, and local immunity. Disruption in these microbial populations can lead to recurrent infections, vaginal dryness, and changes in immune and inflammatory tone, often impacting quality of life.

This webinar explores the evolving evidence on the use of probiotics in women’s health, focusing on strains such as Lactobacillus crispatus for maintaining vaginal pH, promoting epithelial barrier resilience, and restoring microbial eubiosis. 

This webinar will be hosted by Activated Probiotics’ European Practitioner Consultant, Yuwa Aghedo, and Operations Manager and Education Support, Karen Harrison. They’ll discuss how microbial balance contributes to comfort, immune defence, and reproductive success, and how tailored probiotic support can be applied throughout hormonal transitions – menstruation, pregnancy and menopause.

Clinicians will gain a clear understanding of how precision prescribing can enhance women’s health outcomes, using evidence that translates easily into everyday practice.

The hidden drivers of arthritis: Beyond wear and tear With Victoria Hamilton

1 Day Course

(4 modules)

The course focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of arthritis through a functional and systems-based lens. 

Rather than viewing joint damage as a simple result of ageing or mechanical stress, we explore how chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, microbiome imbalance, and metabolic dysfunction play key roles. You’ll gain insight into both osteo- and autoimmune arthritis, with a focus on internal triggers and personalised interventions.

Practitioners often struggle to connect joint symptoms with systemic imbalances, especially when conventional models separate osteoarthritis from immune-driven conditions. It can be challenging to identify root causes, personalise support, and go beyond symptomatic relief. 

This course provides a clear framework for assessing inflammatory drivers, interpreting relevant markers, and implementing targeted nutrition and lifestyle strategies to support clients with arthritis more effectively.

The course will explore the underlying inflammatory mechanisms that contribute to both osteoarthritis and autoimmune-driven joint conditions.

It will then delve into the role of gut health, immune activation, detoxification, and metabolic stress in arthritis progression. We’ll also examine cellular dysfunction and connective tissue fragility, particularly in conditions like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or hypermobility, where ‘leaky joints’ mirror patterns of leaky gut and barrier breakdown.

You’ll learn how to differentiate between inflammatory and mechanical presentations, interpret key functional test markers, and design personalised protocols.

Examples of the questions it will answer include:

✅ How does the gut-joint axis influence arthritis?

✅ What role do cytokines, histamine, or food sensitivities play?

✅ How can I address arthritis in clients without a formal autoimmune diagnosis?

Finally, it will provide clinical tools, supplement strategies, and real-world case examples to help you support clients with joint pain from the inside out.

NEW CPD Course from The Institute for Optimum Nutrition 

Enzymes for Gut Therapeutics and Better Clinical Outcomes

Date: 28th January 2026, at 10:00 am – 4.30 pm

What will you learn?

By the end of the course, you will be able to confidently use enzymes and other interventions to alleviate and resolve common digestive complaints.

The practice of nutrition is to quickly identify where common issues such as bloating, heartburn, constipation, food sensitivities, and motility problems arise, and how to efficiently resolve them.

This course will explain the role of the gastrointestinal nervous system, hormonal system and secretory systems – and how to identify and resolve problems effectively.

We will also explore why unwanted reactions to foods can occur in previously tolerant clients, what to look for, and how to restore tolerance in a safe, targeted way.

There will be a session on identifying and resolving SIBO and Intestinal Candida overgrowth, two common gut conditions that are frequently the root causes of persistent digestive and systemic symptoms that can be managed and improved through targeted nutritional therapy.

A wide range of factors can cause motility symptoms. Being able to identify the specific underlying mechanisms and what they respond to allows for targeted, impactful interventions.

Gallbladder dysfunction can lead to a wide range of health issue both digestive and systemic. Nutritional therapy can help manage gallbladder problems and the consequences of removal. This course will teach you how to identify, test, safeguard and support clients with gallbladder problems.

Heartburn and reflux are not only common but also areas in which diet and lifestyle can have dramatic beneficial effects when managed appropriately. We will cover how to support clients with heartburn or reflux, as well as how to support them as they taper medications such as PPIs, antacids, and alginates.

Cancer: Nutritional support before, during and after treatment and beyond

Nutrition practitioners working with people diagnosed with cancer need to understand the characteristics of cancers as a group of diseases, and the range of treatments their clients may receive.  Patient journeys and cancer treatments are evolving considerably, with targeted treatments, biological drugs and immunotherapy drugs used extensively, as well as traditional ‘mainstay’ treatments of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. 

Treatment regimens are adding years to life, while supporting techniques, including nutrition and lifestyle medicine, are supporting quality of life.

Professional nutrition practitioners need additional skills beyond their primary qualification to meet the needs of working in this clinical field. Nutrition professionals also need to develop skills to communicate and collaborate effectively with medical teams to support their clients within an integrative paradigm.

ION’s intensive three-day course is designed to help practitioners develop skills and gain confidence in working with clients affected by a range of cancers, to deliver personalised nutrition and lifestyle advice. This course provides a foundation for further understanding and exploration, and for those already working in this field, it provides consolidation and an update of knowledge and skills. As well as theoretical aspects of cancer, specific cases will be used to illustrate appropriate nutritional support alongside typical treatment regimens used in common cancers, including gastrointestinal, breast, prostate, ovarian, lung and head and neck cancers and melanoma.

Metabolic Syndrome: How Multiple Conditions Collide

This two-day event delves into the complex interplay of factors that define metabolic syndrome (MetS), exploring its physiological underpinnings, clinical implications, and evidence-based interventions.

The interconnected nature of metabolic syndrome can be challenging in clinical practice, as the pressure to address multiple issues can be overwhelming. This course clarifies the links among the cardiometabolic minefields, highlights their interplay with other body systems, creates a holistic picture, and outlines key drivers. It also addresses the growing use of GLP-1 receptor agonists, helping practitioners navigate them effectively in client care; the use of CGMs in clinical practice; and the science on some of the latest ‘popular’ supplements that have drawn controversy.

Explore the complexities of metabolic syndrome (MetS), from its defining components — blood sugar, blood pressure, weight, and cholesterol — to its underlying drivers like inflammation and insulin resistance.

We will cover the physiological connections among MetS, cardiovascular health, and mitochondrial dysfunction; the digestive system’s role; clinical monitoring tools; and practical interventions.

Skin Health and Nutrition: A Comprehensive Approach for Practitioners 

Wednesday, July 9, 2025 · 

10:00 a.m. London (GMT +1:00)   

Cost: £130.00

This one-day course will explore the role of nutrition in managing common skin conditions, including psoriasis, acne, atopic dermatitis, and rosacea.

It will also consider approaches to support skin ageing.

The day will cover a closer look at the gut-skin axis, systemic inflammation, nutrient interventions, and practical dietary strategies that nutrition practitioners can implement.

Practitioners working with clients looking to address skin health concerns often face the challenge of identifying the root causes of chronic skin conditions, which extend beyond surface-level symptoms. Underlying triggers, such as gut dysbiosis, systemic inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and nutrient deficiencies, play a critical role in skin dysfunction, yet are frequently overlooked.

This course provides practitioners with a comprehensive framework for assessing and addressing these imbalances using evidence-based nutrition and functional laboratory testing.

By integrating targeted dietary strategies, supplementation, and microbiome support, practitioners will gain the tools to personalise interventions and improve client outcomes.

Training Day 20: Ecological Medicine Approaches to Healthy Homes 

Hallam Conference Centre, 44 Hallam Street, LondonFriday 6 Jun 20259:00 AM – 5:00 PM BST

Join BSEM for an eye-opening and practical training day focused on the home environment, one of the most overlooked yet powerful aspects of patient health. Explicitly designed for functional medicine doctors and allied healthcare professionals, this immersive event explores the hidden drivers of chronic illness, ranging from EMF radiation and mould exposure to household toxins, air and water quality, poor building materials, and more. As more people work from home and spend increasing amounts of time indoors, the health of our living spaces has never been more critical. 

Our homes have become offices, classrooms, and healing spaces, yet many are filled with toxins that contribute to fatigue, inflammation, and chronic symptoms. Pure air, water, and energy are essential to human health. This training day will show you how to help your clients lighten their toxic body burden by identifying, reducing, or eradicating environmental exposures in their homes. 

You’ll leave with practical tools and clinical insights to assess environmental factors and empower your patients to create healthy homes.

The Institute of Optimum Nutrition 2 Day CPD Course – Metabolic Syndrome: How multiple conditions collide

Wednesdays 11th and 18th June 2025, 10.00 am to 4.30 pm. 

 

The two-day event will explore the complex interplay of conditions defining metabolic syndrome (MetS), its physiological underpinnings, clinical implications, and evidence-based interventions. 

Day one sets the stage with a deep dive into the components of MetS—blood sugar regulation, blood pressure, weight, and cholesterol—highlighting their interconnection through inflammation and vascular health. Discussions cover insulin resistance, its impact on cardiovascular function, and its links to dementia, autoimmune conditions, and metabolic flexibility. A session on mitochondrial dysfunction unpacks its critical role in insulin resistance, culminating in a case study to apply these insights and embed learning.

Day two shifts focus to the digestive system’s influence on MetS, examining the pancreas, liver, gallbladder, and microbiome. Clinical applications take centre stage with discussions on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), functional testing, and the evolving role of GLP-1 medications. The event concludes with practical protocols covering supplements, lifestyle strategies, exercise, and stress management, providing attendees with actionable tools to support clients effectively.
