From the Gut to Bone to Diabetes: Why the Concepts of "Specialties" is Outdated
Dates: October 25 - 26, 2014
Time: Saturday 12:00PM - 6:00PM; Sunday 8:00AM - 2:00PM
Location: NUHS Campus / Lombard, IL
Instructor: James Bogash, DC

Program Description
Somewhere along the line, medicine decided to break treatment and training into specialties. However, as we continue to learn more and more about the interactions between the systems of the body, we understand that this division is purely arbitrary. Every system of the human body interacts with every other system. This is why, to truly improve a patient’s health, we have to understand how each system interacts with one another.
Obesity and resultant diabetes is clearly the scourge of human health and is associated with a long list of chronic disease. This course will closely examine the decades-long pathway leading to diabetes and how we, as health care practitioners, can most effectively guide our patients’ lifestyle choices to better health.
