This event has has been recognised by the British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy (BANT) as meeting the requirements for Continuous Professional Development (5 CPD Hours). That’s 10 hours in total for those of you that attend both days.
We’re calling on all doctors and healthcare practitioners (or anyone with an interest in Functional Medicine) to join Dr. Hyman for a conversation about Functional Medicine and treating the root cause of disease. Time after time we’re faced with patients who need more than what conventional medicine can offer. Are you tired of the traditional treatment model? Functional Medicine gives you the power to uncover the root causes of chronic illness and disease. This is the future of medicine and a way to treat and heal patients for life. In this once in a lifetime experience, you’ll learn how to incorporate Functional Medicine into your own practice to treat your own patients from one of the top Functional Medicine doctors in the world.
Note: While much of the day is ideal for practitioners who want to incorporate the principles of Functional Medicine into clinical practice, Dr. Hyman will be presenting material that’s well suited for the layperson as well as more advanced topics that practitioners with years of experience will undoubtedly find value in.
During the Event, Dr. Hyman Will Cover:
- Why Functional Medicine is the future of health care
- Medicine by Cause, Not Symptom
- Personalised Medicine — How to customize your treatment plans
- Trends, tests, and new technologies in medicine
- How to incorporate a Functional Medicine model into your practice
- Panel Discussion on the future of Functional Medicine in the UK with Dr. Rangan Chatterjee and Amelia Freer

Dr. Hyman’s Latest Book
For decades we’ve been told that the fat we eat turns to fat in the body, contributing to weight gain, heart disease, diabetes, and generally poor health. And yet, even with all our low-fat products, we’re fatter and sicker than ever before. What’s going on? Could it be that the most feared food group is actually…the most helpful?
As ‘Pegan Plan’ creator and author Dr. Mark Hyman explains in Eat Fat Get Thin, a growing body of research is revealing the immense health and weight-loss benefits of a high-fat diet rich in eggs, nuts, oils, avocados, coconut oil, and other delicious superfoods. That’s right – as it turns out, the key to losing weight, increasing overall energy, and achieving optimum wellness is eating more fat, not less. Dr Hyman debunks some of our most persistent fat-phobic myths and clearly explains the science behind fat’s health benefits. In addition to learning why fat is good and which fats are best, you’ll learn how to apply that knowledge to your day-to-day life. With easy-to-follow advice, simple and flavourful recipes, shopping lists, and more, Eat Fat Get Thin will help you lose weight and stay healthy for life.
