Functional Approach to Cardiovascular issues with Dr. Musa
By Dr.Anish Musa, MBBS,MS,IFMCP
Date
6th December, 2025
Saturday, 4:00 PM IST
on zoom
🧾 About the Event:
Discover how Functional Medicine principles are applied in real cardiovascular cases to uncover the root causes behind hypertension, dyslipidemia, early heart disease, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction. This focused session is designed for practitioners, nutritionists, and healthcare professionals seeking practical tools to assess cardiovascular risk beyond routine labs, identify biochemical and lifestyle drivers of vascular dysfunction, and support optimal heart, endothelial, and mitochondrial health.
Learn how to connect clinical symptoms with underlying metabolic and inflammatory imbalances, and design effective, individualized Functional Medicine protocols that improve blood pressure, lipids, energy, circulation, and long-term cardiovascular resilience.

Understanding Cardiovascular Dysfunction: How the Body Manages Heart Stress Every Day
Every day, the cardiovascular system responds to metabolic stressors such as poor diet, chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, sedentary behavior, emotional stress, and environmental triggers.
These factors silently damage endothelial cells, stiffen arteries, alter lipid metabolism, dysregulate nitric oxide production, and impair mitochondrial energy—all long before symptoms appear.
Your heart, blood vessels, mitochondria, vascular endothelium, and autonomic nervous system work constantly to maintain circulation, blood pressure, oxygen delivery, and vascular tone.
However, when stress exceeds the body’s adaptive capacity—or when genetic, nutritional, or lifestyle factors impair these pathways—dysfunction begins to accumulate. This leads to hypertension, dyslipidemia, vascular inflammation, metabolic syndrome, and ultimately cardiovascular disease.
In Functional Medicine, we move beyond “cholesterol-only thinking” to understand the systems biology of cardiovascular health—how inflammation, metabolism, gut health, chemicals, stress, toxins, micronutrient status, and genetics interact to determine a person’s cardiovascular risk.
What you will Learn:
✅ Understanding how metabolic stress, inflammation, and lifestyle factors drive hypertension, dyslipidemia, and early cardiovascular disease
✅ Exploring endothelial function, nitric oxide pathways, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial health — and how nutrients, genetics, and lifestyle influence each step
✅ Evidence-based nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement strategies to improve vascular flexibility, lipid metabolism, blood pressure, energy, and long-term cardiovascular resilience
Who Should Attend:
✅ Functional Medicine Practitioners
✅ Clinical Nutritionists
✅ Wellness Coaches
✅ Health Professionals
✅ Students of Integrative Health
