Content
The Institute for Functional Medicine grew out of the energy and dedication of Susan and Dr. Jeffrey Bland. They had the vision of bringing to clinical medicine the emerging evidence and insights that would enable it to move from the drug-based model of fighting infectious diseases that worked so well in the 20th century to a systems-oriented, patient-focused clinical model designed to reverse the growing chronic disease epidemic. The Blands recognized that today’s most prevalent health issues are mostly caused by the interactions between genetics, lifestyle choices, and environmental exposures and that treating them requires understanding these interactions and subsequently using that understanding to design appropriate treatments that are personalized to each individual.

This course was AMAZING! I am glad I had the opportunity to learn and get in touch with all of that, through those amazing presenters. It was an incredible learning opportunity for me, which will certainly change my medical practice. Now I am able to understand the linking gap that I was searching for, a gap that my traditional medical training could not fulfill by itself.”
