Presented by: Peter Bongiorno, N.D. La.C.
Thursday, November 12, 2020
Functional medicine is the vanguard of understanding how the underlying drivers of mental health can have clear connections to a patient’s genetics. Dr. Bongiorno will guide you through his functional approach to using nutritional genomics in practice by diving deeper into one of the genes most involved in mental health, Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT).
Learning Objectives:
- Discover why Dr. Bongiorno looks to COMT as his first step in assessing a patient’s genetic report
- Understand the dynamic and important role of COMT in mental health
- Learn how to assess COMT status in your patients, and how to support them using Dr. Bongiorno’s recommendations
