International Journal Of Functional Medicine And Human Nutrition

Published by the International College of Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine (ICHNFM.org), International 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 groups of persons. 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: IntJHumNutrFunctMed.orgIn this issue Dr Vasquez reviews "Initial Considerations in Patient Assessment and Management: An Overview of Key Concepts and Facts in History, Examination, Laboratory Interpretation, and Risk Management." Abstract: Reviewed herein are the three essential components of patient assessment: history, physical examination, and laboratory assessment. Additional concepts and perspectives are provided that will help facilitate risk management and optimal patient care.

This textbook is a practical guide to the application of the philosophy and principles of Integrative and Functional Medical Nutrition Therapy (IFMNT) in the practice of medicine, and the key role nutrition plays in restoring and maintaining wellness. The textbook provides an overview of recent reviews and studies of physiological and biochemical contributions to IFMNT and address nutritional influences in human heath overall, including poor nutrition, genomics, environmental toxicant exposures, fractured human interactions, limited physical movement, stress, sleep deprivation, and other lifestyle factors. Ultimately, this textbook serves to help practitioners, healthcare systems, and policy makers better understand this different and novel approach to complex chronic disorders. It provides the reader with real world examples of applications of the underlying principles and practices of integrative/functional nutrition therapies and presents the most up-to-date intervention strategies and clinical tools to help the reader keep abreast of developments in this emerging specialty field. Many chapters include comprehensive coverage of the topic and clinical applications with supplementary learning features such as case studies, take-home messages, patient and practitioner handouts, algorithms, and suggested readings. Integrative and Functional Medical Nutrition Therapy: Principles and Practices will serve as an invaluable guide for healthcare professionals in their clinical application of nutrition, lifestyle assessment, and intervention for each unique, individual patient.

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.

"Textbook of Clinical Nutrition and Functional Medicine, Volume 1" (2016) replaces the previous Inflammation Mastery / Functional Inflammology, Volume 1 (2014). This work is the culmination of several thousand research publications combined with Dr Vasquez's years of clinical experience and teaching graduate/doctorate-level clinicians worldwide.
