Vascular Health: The Overlooked Key to Longevity

Implementing Vascular Strategies in Practice

Mortality rates due to vascular conditions continue to rise, reinforcing that vascular health is the key to longevity. Not only does vascular health prolong life, but it is essential to healthy functioning and a vibrant lifespan.

The vascular system provides essential nutrients, oxygen, and hormones to every organ and system in the body, with profound effects. This workshop is designed to provide the knowledge, skills, and strategies to implement or upgrade a vascular health program in your practice.

Led by leaders in this field, this full-day, preconference event provides not only the scientific framework, but also hands-on, experiential knowledge. This event brings together:

The evolving literature on the upstream causes of vascular risk

Three upstream interventions to improve vascular health in any population

Guidance evaluating when and where to use and how to interpret assessments, and

Synergistic, customizable, flexible wellness plans development.

Plus, time to hear from and interact with expert speakers and hands-on assessment methods.
