London Seminar, Metabolic Syndrome

Metabolic Syndrome: Pathways, Subtypes and Precision Nutrition

Over 30% of adults present clinically with Metabolic Syndrome, a cluster of risk factors including glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, obesity, and elevated blood pressure that together dramatically increase risk of cardiometabolic disease. The development of metabolic syndrome is dynamic and multifactorial, but dietary factors, ectopic obesity, insulin resistance, and inflammation all play a central role.

Clinically, biomarkers can help identify and direct management, including glucose homeostasis, waist measurement, lipid fractions, blood pressure, nutritional biochemistry, uric acid, inflammatory markers, and bioactive adipokines. Furthermore, unique clinical phenotypes based on adiposity, vascular health, blood lipid profiles, insulin resistance, and hormonal profiles have been identified and translate to specific management approaches.

In this important seminar, we breakdown and demystify metabolic syndrome by exploring validated clinical assessments that reveal subtypes and help direct effective evidence-based nutritional and lifestyle management approaches. We also explore key issues such as nutrient-drug interactions and integrative patient care.

This presentation explores:

• the key drivers of the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome
• simple routine clinical assessments that can be used in daily practice
• advanced biomarkers and functional assessments
• how to personalize nutritional approaches to different clinical subtypes
• positive, and negative, nutrient-drug interactions

All attendees will receive:

• 2-hours of CPD approved education
• Lecture notes
• Supplementary research papers
• Dinner and drinks
• Free sample products
