"The Lifestyle and Functional Medicine Conference of the Year"
One or Two Day Practitioner Training
The Lifestyle and Functional Medicine Conference is unlike any other conference of its kind in Ireland. We welcome clinicians, nutritional professionals, healthcare practitioners to gather together and learn from experts in the field, earn CPDs, meet your community and grow your network.
Immune and Metabolic Health
This year you’ll have the opportunity to learn about ground-breaking scientific research, explore our virtual Exhibitor Hall with innovative brands, hear inspirational case studies, observe panel discussions – all while enjoying incredible networking opportunities and reconnecting with friends in the industry via our own FMC App.
The theme for our 2020 event is Immune and Metabolic Health: The Lifestyle and Functional Medicine Approach. Our world class medical doctors and speakers travel internationally and give lectures on these areas.
The primary drivers of poor metabolic health are the daily interactions among an individual’s genetics, environment, and lifestyle choices. Good nutrition can emphasise the importance of high quality foods and phytonutrient diversity to address clinical imbalances and move individuals toward the highest expression of health.
Lifestyle and Functional Medicine practitioners focus on recognising the underlying cause for a condition and work on remedying it. Learn from our world class clinicians, researchers and educators. Whether you’re a healthcare professional, academic, or simply interested in learning about immune and metabolic health, this conference was created for YOU!
More people than ever before are struggling with a form of metabolic health concern. A study* finds, only 12 percent (of Americans) are metabolically health. The prevalence of good metabolic health is ‘alarmingly low,’ even among people who are normal weight. Only one in eight Americans is achieving optimal metabolic health. This carries serious implications for public health since poor metabolic health leaves people more vulnerable to developing Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other serious health issues.
As healthcare professionals we can all play a role in bringing the research and understandings of how lifestyle and diet play a pivotal role in our health. Our mission as a conference is to help and support you make changes in your own life, within your practice and that of your community. The study

Amazing, inspiring speakers at the top of their game. Definitely, a yearly event to be put into the calendar. Not to be missed!
FMC Ireland was absolutely outstanding – venue, speakers and content plus the food, wine and beverages provided made the exceptional value for money and I will most certainly be booking a seat at the next event in 2018 the moment I know it’s happening! Huge well done to all involved.
It was exhilarating being part of a group of people whose sole purpose was to educate people about nutrition.
Overall brilliant event with fantastic speakers. Speakers made m to think about health and disease from a different perspective. Very motivational!
Simply outstanding conference bringing the latest scientific, evidence-based clinical information on nutrition, lifestyle and preventative medicine to Irish healthcare professionals – delivered by expert lecturers whose ease of delivery of complex information was both highly relevant and inspirational.
