Dr. Luciana Pronsky specializes in family medicine and functional medicine, with a focus on treating metabolic diseases, obesity, and diabetes through a low-carb diet and gut health optimization.
In her lecture, The Effect of Intestinal Permeability on Modern Morbidity: The Functional Approach, Dr. Pronsky will elucidate how increased intestinal permeability, commonly referred to as “leaky gut syndrome,” can contribute to the onset of chronic diseases such as diabetes, autoimmune disorders, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and even neurological and mental health conditions. The lecture will equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of the significance of digestive system health and its impact on modern morbidity, while also providing practical tools to enhance quality of life through a functional medicine approach.
