Dr. Filomena Trindade has been practicing and lecturing about functional medicine for over 25 years. She has been a leading expert in diabesity and metabolic medicine. Additionally, Dr. Trindade’s mentorship programs and teaching style have been transformative for many clinicians new to this field.
We often find in functional medicine, that inadequate nutrition can be the root cause of chronic medical conditions. And, during the global pandemic, this becomes vitally important as patients and clinicians are looking to optimize immunity.
