Overview

This PLMI virtual educational program offers an in-depth, clinically focused examination of nutritional assessment as a foundational tool in personalized and functional healthcare. The session will explore the integration of macronutrient intake analysis with micronutrient status, functional biomarkers, and clinical context to support more precise nutrition-based decision-making.

Moderated by Deanna Minich, PhD, and featuring Dr. Michael Chapman and Dr. Lahnor Powell, this expert discussion will address the interpretation of nutritional assessment data, including dietary patterns, nutrient insufficiencies, metabolic considerations, and biochemical individuality. Faculty will highlight clinical strategies for translating assessment findings into targeted, patient-specific nutritional interventions within integrative and functional models of care.

This program is intended for healthcare professionals seeking to deepen their clinical competency in nutritional assessment and enhance the application of nutrition science in patient care.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:

• Evaluate macronutrient intake patterns in the context of individual metabolic and clinical needs.
• Interpret micronutrient status and functional biomarker data to identify potential nutrient insufficiencies or imbalances.
• Integrate nutritional assessment findings into personalized, evidence-informed nutrition strategies.
• Apply a systems-based approach to nutritional assessment within functional and integrative care frameworks.
