"Integrating the science and spirit is at the heart of integrative medicine. Our conference brings together the best of Functional Medicine's science-based approach with aspects of the heart not normally presented at medical conferences. This year's conference will look closely at many "upstream" contributors to health and disease: environment, genetics, epigentics, beliefs and perceptions. These formerly "invisible" contributors have new science to back up their importance in our health and wellbeing. Join us and learn how to fold a new understanding of these subjects into your daily practice."-- Bethany M. Hays, MD, True North Medical Director
