The Institute of Optimum Nutrition 2 Day CPD Course - Metabolic Syndrome: How multiple conditions collide
Published to Upcoming Events on Apr 02, 2025
This two-day event will delve into the complex interplay of conditions defining metabolic syndrome (MetS), exploring 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.
