For many years, mainstream textbooks typically characterized irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) as a psychosomatic disorder with a strong emotional component. Sophisticated molecular diagnostic techniques combined with genomic analysis have now shown that IBS is not a simple “functional” disorder. Rather, it is a multifactorial condition with several prominent overlapping subtypes, including dysbiotic, inflammatory, postinfectious, and neurochemical subtypes. This presentation will use the lens of system biology as way to tie together all these seemingly disparate elements into a cohesive diagnostic and treatment strategy when within scope and know when to refer when out of scope.

In a 2019 poll, 74 percent of practitioners did not know which genetic test to trust. In this presentation, different types of genetic tests in the marketplace will be explored. The basic principles needed to understand these tests will be defined and questions to ask when choosing a genetic testing partner will be identified. By the end of the presentation, attendees will have the insight necessary to evaluate the clinical value genetic tests will offer to patients.

This presentation will provide an overview of the scientific evidence supporting the utility of exercise in maintaining health and decreasing the risk of chronic diseases including diabetes, hypertension, cancer, coronary heart disease, and depression. In addition, the evidence showing that exercise can mitigate the risk incurred by diseases like diabetes and hypertension will be reviewed. Finally, a practical approach for discussing exercise with patients/clients and helping patients achieve successful outcomes with lifestyle modification will be presented.
In light of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), many patients are tuned in to the importance of building immune system resilience. Whether someone is considered at-risk or simply wants to maintain their health, there are several steps practitioners can suggest to put patients in the best position to prevent or overcome illness, and achieve optimal health throughout life.

Medical crises generate feelings of anxiety and loss of control. Recognizing that this vulnerability is occurring in their patients, nurses can use meditation and imagery practices that tap patients’ deeper healing resources. Nurses will learn about these transpersonal resources, and will experience 2 practices that are part of the skill set of transpersonally trained nurses.
