July 2016 Functional Forum

 

July 2016 Functional Forum

5pm PST & 8pm EDT Monday, July 11th, 2016

Functional Forum and The Institute for Functional Medicine are thrilled to announce the next in their series of collaborative episodes of the Functinal Forum.  The footage for this event was filmed at the IFM's “Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice" (AFMCP) conference in Phoenix in March 2016.

In this episode, we dive deep into the central core of the Functional Medicine operating system, the "Functional Medicine Matrix". At the Functional Forum, we are always looking for common languages, not only between patient and practitioner but also between practitioners of all traditions and the Functional Medicine Matrix provides a systematic way to understand the expression of health or disease in each individual.

And who better to learn from than Patrick Hanaway, MD, Medical Director of the Center for Functional Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, and IFM’s Chief Medical Education Officer, making his keynote debut this month. In Dr. Hanaway's extended keynote, he takes us through the timeline, antecedents, trigger and mediators as well as the matrix itself. Dr. Hanaway will recount a recent Center for Functional Medicine patient who presented with 29 different diagnoses. By considering the patient’s systemic imbalances, Dr. Hanaway was able to help the patient motivate to make targeted lifestyle changes and address the underlying causes that fed her into many symptoms.

You will also hear from many of the attendees and educators at the AFMCP as they share some of their tips on how to practice Functional Medicine at the highest level.
