What a great line up!
The major event to start the New Year is the 9th Annual Symposium in Boca Raton, Jan. 24-26, 2025! - https://www.lowcarbusa.org/boca-2025/
Over a third of last year's attendees have already signed up again, and we've seen a surge in new registrations as plans for next year take shape!
We're deep in the planning process, and the general sessions will feature a wide range of presentations highlighting how metabolic health interventions can benefit overall wellness.
Plus, this year’s event will include a very special full-day focus on Women's Health and Metabolic Therapies on Friday, January 24th, led by Jodi Nishida, PharmD, MHP, and ConsciousGynecologist- Dr. Andrea Salcedo, DO, MPH, FACOG - OBGYN.
"Women's Health is such an underrepresented and misunderstood topic. It's a huge problem in healthcare today," said Dr. Nishida. "I think the speakers and the topics we're going to be covering are going to be so appreciated by everyone there and everyone listening in."
Dr. Salcedo echoed this, emphasizing the need for a nuanced approach to women’s metabolic health: “While many women are looking for answers and so many of the concepts of therapeutic carbohydrate restriction apply to women, there is a little bit of nuance that needs to be applied and remembered as we are trying to approach this modality. We always hear of women who’ve said, ‘I’ve tried to lose weight, I’ve tried ketogenic therapies, and it just doesn’t work for me.’ A lot of those have to do with nuances related to the menstrual cycle.”
Dr. Nishida further underscored the challenges facing women today, connecting the issue to broader dietary changes: “The food of today is not the food of 50 years ago or 100 years ago. So to give the same advice in an entirely different environment of eating makes absolutely no sense. In every single one of us keto doctors, we didn’t learn any of this in school. We cared enough about everyone's health to take the time to learn it, and that is what sets us apart from the average physician today.”
If you haven’t yet, mark your calendars and plan to join us for the Symposium for Metabolic Health in Boca Raton, Florida! Stay tuned for more updates as they come.
