Balancing the Microbiome as a Path to Optimal Resilience with Jocelyn Strand, ND

Grab your chair and let’s stretch! This session will include gentle breathing and stretching exercises to combat the effects of sitting. No yoga mats, sweat, floorwork, or change of clothes needed. When you're stuck in your head, it can be hard to focus, listen, and absorb new information. This grounding meditation will bring you back to your body, starting with a body scan and finishing with a technique you can use to ground at any time during the conference.

Join our panel of expert clinicians as they share personal experiences on how they are navigating the clinical terrain of COVID-19 long haulers. This exclusive AIC discussion will also present a framework for advancing clinical care in a post-COVID world, with key insights for building resilience and supporting long-term immune health.

We talk about resilience, but how to feel it and have it? This interactive session is designed so that you taste and receive the experience and gain the tools and discovery --through personal insight and learning from live sharing with peers. It's impossible to do self care "right" at this time. Good news, you don't have to. Join us to connect live with your colleagues, hear what and how to get through the rest of 2021, to regain equilibrium given the cumulative stress of training and providing care in the US. See real time how others are doing, coping and finding ways to support themselves and others. We intend for you to feel more hope, joy and more in your body, in a way that can last.

The major changes initiated in 2021 to the guidelines for Evaluation and Management (E/M) services have created an important opportunity to rethink the potential for functional medicine to be delivered profitably by payer-participating practices. This session will:
•Lead providers efficiently through the key changes in 2021 that are most relevant to functional medicine practices
•Quantify the economic impact of these changes for practices
•Chart a practical course to practice optimization for payer-participating functional medicine providers
•Show non-participating and opted-out providers how to use the public health emergency to quickly reengage with the payer system
