 Information:

🫀 The Cardiometabolic Advanced Practice Module (APM) by the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) is a specialized course designed to help healthcare professionals address the root causes of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders using a functional medicine approach.

📚 Course Overview

• Focuses on chronic metabolic and cardiovascular diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and atherosclerosis
• Teaches how to use advanced biomarkers, lipid assays, and physical exam cues to detect and reverse disease processes
• Emphasizes lifestyle-based interventions, including nutrition, gut health, and stress management

🧠 Key Learning Objectives

• Identify and personalize treatments for 7 types of cardiometabolic risk
• Address 6 patterns of cardiometabolic syndrome and 8 subtypes of hypertension
• Use gut health strategies to improve insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome
• Design precision dietary and lifestyle plans for long-term health outcomes
• Improve patient communication and treatment adherence

🖥️ Format & Access

• 100% online, 6-week cohort
• Includes on-demand lectures and live Q&A sessions

🎯 Target Audience

• Primary Care Physicians managing patients with diabetes, hypertension, or metabolic syndrome
• Functional Medicine Practitioners seeking deeper clinical tools for cardiometabolic conditions
• Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) and Integrative Medicine Specialists
• Nurse Practitioners (NPs) and Physician Assistants (PAs) involved in chronic disease care
• Registered Dietitians (RDs) and Nutritionists focused on metabolic health
• Medical Students and Residents pursuing functional medicine certification

📚 Why It’s Valuable

• Learn to identify and treat seven types of cardiometabolic risk and eight subtypes of hypertension
• Use advanced biomarkers and lipid assays to detect disease early
• Apply gut health interventions to improve insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome
• Design personalized lifestyle and nutrition plans for long-term disease reversal
