International Conference On Human Nutrition And Functional Medicine

Conference Presentation Slides from Dr Loren Cordain and Dr Alex Vasquez (exclusively for uws mshnfm students)

2013 PreConference Notes: Comprehensive/Functional Patient Assessments and Introduction to the "Functional Inflammology Protocol" written by Dr Alex Vasquez and provided by the International College of Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine. This book is 268 pages of notes in two sections: 1) Text Chapter -- reviews patient history, assessments, laboratory testing, and clinical concepts, 2) Presentation Slides -- Dr Vasquez's functional inflammology protocol, as previously published in "Functional Inflammology, Allergy, Asthma, and Dysbiosis" and "F.I.N.D.S.E.X. The Easily Remembered Acronym for the Functional Inflammology Protocol" By making these notes available at ultra-low cost to registered attendees, we hope to give attendees a head start on the material so that we can learn even more during the conference by diving deeper into the science and research.

As the English-language version of International Journal of Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine, our North American Journal of Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine is a peer-reviewed evidence-based publication produced in print and/or digital formats, available as pay-per-issue, open access (free), or as a membership benefit (included or discounted), in English and/or other languages. As the title of the journal indicates, the focus of the journal is human nutrition (i.e., we publish only human-referent information, not animal studies), and functional medicine, a broad clinical and conceptual discipline that seeks to protect, restore, and optimize human health by appreciating human physiology's systems biology construct and thus the necessity of addressing the totality of factors that influence health and disease outcomes in the psyche and soma of individual patients as well as the social corpus of local and international populations. The journal is dynamic and adaptive; new information about the journal-its editorial staff and current topics-and access to free and pay-per-view articles and videos are available at the website: Int J Hum Nutr Funct Med .org.
