Saturday, May 20, 2012, 8:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m.: Metagenics Seminar: "Clinically Effective Therapies for Reversing Heart Disease & Diabetes." Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites, Los Angeles, CA, USA. Metagenics University presents Dr. Mark Hyman with Bridget Briggs, MD and Deanna Minich, PhD: A Whole Systems Approach for Reversing the "Diabesity" Pandemic.

Join Dr. Mark Hyman to explore innovative clinical approaches to the “diabesity” continuum of health problems—ranging from mild insulin resistance and overweight to obesity and diabetes—that affect over 1 billion people worldwide. Dr. Hyman will explain potential underlying causes that provide avenues for customized therapeutic intervention, such as environmental toxins, food sensitivities, hormonal dysregulation, gut microbiology, nutrient deficiencies, and abnormal gene expression.

To complement this presentation, Dr. Bridget Briggs will discuss the growing trend of testing for genetic polymorphisms and how to design individual treatment programs to help prevent cardiometabolic conditions.

Dr. Deanna Minich will also lead an informative discussion on modern lifestyle therapies that incorporate phytonutrients to target underlying mechanisms of chronic disease and promote healthy aging.

The May 20 event will also be available through a live simulcast. This special learning event will also be held on May 19, 2012 in New York, NY.
