Integrative Approach to Assessing the GI Tract - 0.5 CME Credits
Day Two: Saturday, October 28, 2023
| 10:00 AM - 10:30 AM PDT:
The gut is important to general health in many medical perspectives and diseases of the gut are commonly associated with skin diseases. This lecture will explore how the health of the gut can be assessed and how this may impact different interventions to improve gut health.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will list basic clinical applications of taking functional approach to assessing gut health.
2. Participants will describe common digestive ailments and their root cause to illness including: Gut Inflammation, Dysbiosis, Food Allergy vs. Food Sensitivity, Leaky Gut Syndrome, Metabolic Endotoxemia, SIBO/SIFO.
3. Participants will identify the 4 R approach to functional medicine to help promote optimized digestive health.
4. Participants will discuss the pharmacodynamics of and be able to recommend various supplements to improve health outcomes in specific patient populations.

Gut Health & Microbiome Panel - 1.0 CME Credits
Day Two: Saturday, October 28, 2023
| 11:00 AM - 11:45 AM PDT:
This panel will explore several cases where the role of gut testing and management will be considered. The practical use of gut microbiome testing will be discussed in the context of clinical case discussions. The role of short chain fatty acids will be explored in relation to inflammatory skin diseases.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will examine the utility of functional testing of the gut, including gut microbiome testing in the context of dermatology cases.
2. Participants will apply gut health management as part of an integrative approach to managing dermatological conditions.
3. Participants will evaluate the clinical evidence for the use of nutrition and dietary supplements to support gut health and production of short chain fatty acids.Panelists
