About the series: This is an updated excerpt-focusing on dysbiosis-from Functional Inflammology-Volume 1: Introduction to Clinical Nutrition, Functional Medicine, and Integrative Pain Management, the culmination of data from several thousand research publications combined with Dr Vasquez's many years of clinical experience and teaching graduate-level students and doctorate-level clinicians worldwide. Using illustrations, flowcharts, acronyms, and detailed-yet-simplifying explanations, Dr Vasquez makes the learning process easier than ever for clinicians to grasp important concepts in integrative care and functional medicine and then to translate the basic science research, molecular biology, and clinical data into treatment plans that can be explained and used in "the real world" of clinical practice with patients. The associated video tutorials and recorded live conference presentations further help students and clinicians "get it" via Dr Vasquez's effective teaching style which embraces complexity while always emphasizing clinical applicability and psychosocial context. The Inflammation Mastery & Functional Inflammology series of books and videos translates important concepts and nutritional/biomedical science into easy and practical clinical applications for the prevention and treatment of disorders of sustained inflammation, which Dr Vasquez describes as "patterns of metabolic disturbance and inflammatory dysfunction" existing in three sequential and overlapping categories: 1) metabolic inflammation, 2) allergic inflammation, and 3) autoimmune inflammation.
