Do your patients reach for green powders, cosmetics, or other seemingly harmless products each day? These everyday choices may be silently contributing to their toxic metal burden.

Join Dr. Julia Malkowski of Doctor's Data for a dynamic live presentation exploring common and often overlooked sources of metal exposure in modern life. She'll weave in historical context, highlight key detoxification systems and provide practical insights into assessing metal exposures. Attendees will walk away with a clear understanding of identifying everyday metal exposures with potential for extraordinary health impact.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify common and often-overlooked sources of toxic metal exposure in modern life, including water, cosmetics, and food products
• Differentiate testing modalities for assessing metal burden: urine, blood, stool, and hair, and their clinical applications
• In a case series format, interpret metal exposure patterns in the context of symptom presentation
• Develop foundational clinical strategies to reduce exposure and support detoxification using evidence-based tools.

Peri-menopause, which can begin as early as the mid-30s, is a complex transitional phase marked by symptoms such as hot flashes, insomnia, fatigue, mood changes, and cognitive issues. Effective care depends on accurate patient intake and comprehensive lab assessments, which guide personalized treatment plans. While many patients benefit from lifestyle changes and basic hormone support, others require deeper investigation into physiological imbalances. Optimizing disease prevention adds another layer of complexity, making advanced testing and holistic strategies-including hormone panels, GI and HPA axis assessments, and trauma-informed care-essential for long-term wellness.

Learning Objectives:

• Articulate stats and symptoms associated with the peri-menopausal transition.
• Examine pathologies that are more prevalent in menopause and what can be done to decrease risk beginning in the peri-menopausal years.
• Summarize conventional labs and considerations that should not be overlooked.
• Discuss various functional labs and considerations for this population, based on current symptoms and disease prevention, that will optimize health during the peri-menopausal years and beyond.
