Case Studies in Functional Medicine
Applying Genetics and Functional Lab Insights for Targeted Protocols 
Organic Acids | Toxins | Gut Health | Hormones | Underlying Genetics
24-26 APRIL 2026 | DUBAI 
 
This three-day conference focuses on translating complex laboratory data into transformative patient care. By integrating genetic insights with functional testing, you will learn to move beyond generic protocols and develop precise, data-driven interventions for chronic illness.

Conference Highlights:
The Genetic-Microbiome Axis: Learn to pair DNA Gut with GI-MAP results to understand how underlying genetic risks interact with real-time biome data.
Hormonal Precision: Master the dual interpretation of DNA Hormones and DUTCH testing for targeted endocrine support through different lifestages.
Environmental Toxicology: Identify the impact of mould and toxins using ToxDetect, MycoTOX and Heavy Metals profiles. We will emphasise measuring both the exposure and the resulting biological damage through Organic Acid biomarkers.
Clinical Application: Through in-depth, longitudinal case studies, seasoned practitioners will demonstrate how to weave these results into evidence-based, highly targeted treatment protocols.

What You Will Master:
Case Study Implementation: Learn through powerful case studies that showcase the entire patient journey, supported by objective data, including environmental burden.
Applied Lab & Genomic Interpretation: Dive deep into the clinical application and strategic test-pairing of essential functional and genetic labs, including DUTCH, GI-MAP, ToxDetect, MycoTOX, Heavy Metals, Organic Acids, DNA Hormones and DNA Gut.
Targeted Protocols: Discover how appropriate testing provides invaluable insights to move toward highly individualised, evidence-based protocols.

Our speakers:
Dr Wajdi Bonji will present case studies in immune function and the implications of environmental exposures on gut health, highlighting the clinical utility of GI-MAP and MycoTOX testing.
Patrick Engels will educate on toxins, underlying genetics and supplement strategies to improve detoxification.
Dr. Rex Gloria will present practical case studies on immune and female health by connecting DNA Gut and DNA Hormones genetics with real-time GI-MAP and DUTCH biomarkers.
Umahro Cadogan will lead advanced case studies on "The Toxic Patient" and menopause by integrating DNA Core, DNA Gut and DNA Hormones with ToxDetect, MycoTOX, GI-MAP, Organic Acids and DUTCH.
Graeme Jones will explore how genetics in bacterial sensing and autophagy link to gut health, also examining how EnviroTOX and ToxDetect results impact Organic Acids and GI-MAP biomarkers.
Helen Gautschi will demonstrate how to gain a deeper level of patient insights by pairing DNA Gut and DNA Hormones genotypes with real-time phenotypic markers from the GI-MAP and DUTCH tests.
