The Future of Healthcare: Combining genetics with Functional Testing
Millennium Gloucester Hotel, London Kensington

We are delighted to be hosting our IN PERSON Certification course again - in London with Umahro Cadogan!

This course will focus on a number of areas that functional medicine practitioners will be working with in their clinical practice, covering the role that genetic expression plays in a person’s risk for chronic disease. When combined with functional testing, genetics provides objective information allowing for a more precise treatment strategy.

Key Objectives:

• Learn How, If We Understand Genetic Expression, Intervention Strategies May Help Prevent Disease Occurring.
  
  
• Learn Which Supplements Are Advantageous To Take With Particular Genetic Expression.
  
  
• Understand the Benefits of Including A Genetic Test For every Patient and be able to Convey this Confidently
  
  

A combination of guided self-study and in-person training, you will be introduced to the concept of nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics, as well as pharmacogenomics, and how to apply the science in practice. The course provides important information about genes and the underlying principles of our core DNA tests, increasing your understanding and confidence to use these tests. During the in-person training, you will also learn how to use genetic testing in collaboration with functional testing. The results of these two test methods offer a robust platform on which to build highly individualised treatment strategies.

The course price includes IN PERSON training with Umahro PLUS our comprehensive online training to be completed before the live event (18 hours of self-study). The course fee also includes 8 dnalife^® DNA tests:

Our Educator: 

Umahro Cadogan
Umahro has worked in the field of Functional  Medicine and health for more than 20 years and is renowned for his clinical experience and expertise,  his understanding of systems biology and his lecturing skills. He runs a busy Functional Medicine clinic in Copenhagen seeing patients from all over the world. Given his knowledge within genetics and  Functional Medicine, Umahro has been a part of choosing, developing and evaluating the dnalife profiles. He uses them extensively in his clinical practice on patients; world-class athletes; and top performers within business, music and culture to help them find out what it takes to perform and function optimally, and prevent disease manifesting itself in the first place. He has run workshops for dnalife since 2014  and has a fantastic ability to convey complex nutrigenomics and biochemistry.
