TOPIC: Eyes in Cardiometabolic Disease, How Can We Help Holistically?With the global burden of the most serious health challenges in the 21st century, cardiometabolic diseases are at the forefront. Unfortunately, the eyes are not omitted in its deleterious effects. What biomarkers can be found in the eye for early detection? How can we help protect our vision from these chronic yet modifiable conditions? Speaker: Dr. Neda Gioia Optometrist Dr. Neda Gioia, OD CNS FOWNS, founder of Integrative Vision, has 22 years of experience in eye care that spans the country. She discovered the importance of whole-body health and the power of the body to heal itself with proper nutrition and lifestyle. While she was always passionate about delivering exceptional eye care as an optometrist, she realized that there was a better way. She believes this whole-body approach is the best way to protect and preserve your eye health life. Having grown up in New Jersey, Dr. Gioia, OD CNS FOWNS graduated from Rutgers University with a B.A. in Biology and Psychology followed by a doctorate in Optometry at SUNY College of Optometry. More recently, she completed a certified nutrition specialist program (CNS) through the University of Western States. Subsequently after achieving a fellowship in the Ocular Wellness and Nutrition Society she now sits as a board member. She has also completed the AFMCP module at the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM). Dr. Gioia, O.D. currently calls the Jersey Shore home, where she lives with her husband and two daughters. When she isn’t in the office, she spends her time furthering her education and improving the health of her family and friends. She enjoys traveling to experience different cultures, hiking, music and, of course, family time. She believes in living life to its fullest and being grateful for every day. https://integrativevision.com Space is very limited and we need to plan accordingly, so please be sure to register only if you are planning to come.

Larisa Sharipova, MD, Holistic Health Practitioner, Author and Public Speaker The Philadelphia Main Line Meetup was started by a small group of practitioners in Wayne, PA interested in connecting with other community members who practice or wanted to learn about and support the functional medicine model and it's principals. Since its first meeting, the group has grown exponentially with participants ranging from patients, various types of practitioners, health & wellness enthusiasts, local business owners, and community members who want to learn more. The goal is to keep growing this group to foster growth and awareness of functional medicine in the community and to provide tools and support for current and future practitioners.
