Integrative Healthcare Symposium (IHS) Recordings Now Available

The Integrative Healthcare Symposium occurs each February in midtown Manhattan (New York Hilton Midtown) and typically features many of the luminaries of the world of what we have come to call "functional medicine," although to my mind it's really a mash-up of really good detective medicine (questions, questions, questions and a nearly whole-life history) with a focus on nutrition and lifestyle: Mark Hyman, David Perlmutter, last year Kara Fitzgerald, this year Robert Roundtree, Patrick Hanaway, Joe Pizzorno and even Jeffrey Bland!

(Although I am sad to say that this year's presentations, at least so far, have been a bit underwhelming-- if not outright disappointing.)

I also have always enjoyed Tieraona Low Dog (ask me for mp3 audio of her impassioned 2014 talk) and Sara Gottfried, who were part of a roundtable discussion this year.

Precision medicine more recently became the buzzword, which to me is more focused on personal genetics-- and how to use this (seemingly exponentially expanding!) information and (still very much, to my mind, a "work-in-progress") understanding to, I guess we have to say, optimize (or, I suppose, personalize) diet, exercise, work and lifestyle recommendations.

I hope to cover the growing menu of different companies' products in an upcoming post-- and even to "taste test" and then compare the most highly regarded 3 or 4 products, probably 3x4 Genetics, Toolbox Genomics and perhaps Robert Hedaya's preferred company, name escaping me at the moment.

For now though, IHS.
