As a functional medicine provider, you're already treating patients systemically—but are you connecting your everyday interventions to one of the fastest-growing health concerns of our time: cognitive decline?What if the work you’re already doing—balancing blood sugar, reducing inflammation, addressing gut dysfunction, supporting detoxification, &amp; optimizing hormones—wasn’t just improving symptoms… What if it was actively preventing cognitive decline? Emerging research from Dale Bredesen &amp; other key thought leaders has identified key, modifiable drivers of cognitive decline—many of which mirror the exact imbalances functional medicine providers address every day.When we begin viewing patient care through a cognitive health lens, a powerful connection emerges: The same root causes driving chronic disease, such as insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, toxin burden, nutrient deficiency, vascular health, gut dysbiosis &amp; hormonal imbalance are also driving neurodegeneration. Join us for a fun-filled evening of clinical insight &amp; collaborative discussion as we break down the key drivers of cognitive decline &amp; their underlying mechanisms. Connect with like-minded colleauges to map drivers to the interventions you're already using in your practice. Develop a deeper understanding of how your current protocols influence brain outcomes. Share clinical strategies &amp; modalities that support neural health &amp; the prevention of cognitive decline. Hear how others are addressing the early signs &amp; utilizing targeted interventions that truly move the needle. Leave with practical takeaways that you can implement to better support your patients' cognitive health &amp; resilience! <h2>We will be serving a delicious gluten and dairy- free meal. Wine will be served also.</h2>____________________________ AGENDA 6:30 – 6:50 pmNetworking and Wine<ul><li>Socialize with your fellow medical professionals from all disciplines in a casual, fun, low-key setting.</li></ul>6:50 pmSeated Dinner Begins<ul><li>Medical professionals share ideas about disease states from an Integrative Standpoint</li><li>Open and free flowing discussion where we learn from each other</li><li>Attendees report gaining many “clinical pearls” by attending and sharing with the group</li></ul>7:10 pmIntroductions and Clinical Discussion BENEFITS OF ATTENDING A MEETING: <ol><li>You will meet like-minded practitioners in functional/integrative medicine.</li><li>You will gain a referral network based on integrative medical philosophies.</li><li>You will have an open forum to discuss pertinent disease states from an integrative view point.
