Metabolic Health Lecture
Thursday, November 11, 2021
7:30 a.m. - 8:30 a.m.
Live Virtual Broadcast
The Metabolic Health Lecture features world-renowned expert and thought leader in the field of nutritional biochemistry and metabolic syndrome (MetS), Robert H. Lustig, M.D., M.S.L., who will present vital topics on the connection between nutrition and its metabolic consequences. This evidence-based information will assist healthcare providers in providing high-quality, efficient patient care and increase successful patient outcomes. Attendees will be better equipped to care for patients and gain insight from Dr. Lustig’s didactic lecture on topics including essential information on basic nutrition science, description of the prevalence and causes of metabolic disease, debunking key nutrition myths that misinform and prevent progress, discussing best practices, and providing community-based solutions that healthcare providers can implement in their practices. Immediately following Dr. Lustig’s dynamic lecture there will be a special opportunity for the audience to interact with Dr. Lustig in a live question and answer session. With this special lecture, Swedish Medical Center would like to bring awareness to the launch of The ResilienceTM program, a unique, multidisciplinary program offered exclusively at Swedish Pediatric Specialty Care, targeted at the prevention, reversal, and treatment of pediatric MetS.
This lecture is intended for providers in family medicine, internal and pediatric medicine and their sub-specialties including cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, neurology, and obesity medicine/bariatric medicine.

Details
The prevalence of obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a serious problem that continues to grow at an alarming rate, particularly among ethnic populations. The appearance of diseases in children that previously took a lifetime to develop highlights the urgent need for more effective strategies to promote awareness and education.
Many clinicians are not adequately prepared to discuss diet and nutrition with patients and their families. The majority of medical schools have no requirements for nutrition coursework. Those that do require nutrition coursework require an average of just two credits, or the equivalent of one course. Further, our understanding of nutritional science and the development of metabolic disease is evolving daily. Conventional thinking is that obesity is the central issue. Eighty percent of the population with obesity do in fact have metabolic disease. However, what typically isn’t recognized is that forty percent of the population without obesity also has metabolic disease. Blind spots such as these prevent practitioners from getting to the root of the problem, focusing only on symptoms.
Our society has been concerned with nutrition and diet related disease for decades. Despite good intentions, our dietary recommendations have only made matters worse. Implementing effective nutrition intervention in patients who suffer from MetS requires unlearning previously accepted truths, taking action to prevent the development of metabolic disorders, and managing and reversing those that are already established.
