Metabolic Mastery: Unraveling the Interplay of Liver Function, Mitochondrial Activity and Chronic Disease

Metabolic Mastery: Unraveling the Interplay of Liver Function, Mitochondrial Activity and Chronic Disease

The evolution of medicine has been characterized by the development of an organ-specific approach to disease diagnosis and treatment. Although this approach has been very successful in the management of acute disease entities, it has had limited success in managing complex chronic disorders that cross organ-specific boundaries to involve the alteration in multiple organ-related functions.

This is exemplified with the family of immuno-metabolic disorders that include metabolism-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), chronic hepato-biliary endotoxicity, metabolic syndrome, obesity, chronic cognitive impairment, neuropsychological disorders including depression and anxiety, post-viral fatigue-related syndromes, and inflammaging.

This Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute 10th annual spring conference co-hosted with Ortho Molecular Products will focus on the emerging understanding of the systems biology origin of these conditions that develop from alterations in the immuno-metabolic communication among the intestinal microbiome, liver, nervous, and immune super system and its relationship to modifiable dietary, environmental, lifestyle, and behavioral factors. This conference will connect the recent progress in understanding the connection of disturbances in this supersystem with specific lifestyle and dietary interventions that are focused on managing the root causes of these system-related disorders.
