Upcoming.

30 Oct 2025

Lifestyle as Medicine: Nutrition, Exercise & Environmental Health in Rheumatic Disease

CME · NEA Baptist Memorial Hospital · Jonesboro, AR

25-minute CME talk covering three pillars — anti-inflammatory nutrition, resistance training, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals — anchored in named clinical trials (ADIRA, LIFTMOR, HI-STIM) and applied through a composite RA case.

TBD 2026

Grand Rounds · Lifestyle Medicine in Rheumatic Disease

MUSC · Charleston, SC

60-minute Grand Rounds — the full deep dive. Exercise physiology and the myokine system, the RA lipid paradox, all four major rheumatic conditions (RA, SLE, SSc, myositis) with their exercise data, expanded nutrition and EDC sections.

TBD 2026

Grand Rounds · Lifestyle Medicine in Rheumatic Disease

Vanderbilt University Medical Center · Nashville, TN

60-minute Grand Rounds at the fellowship training program. Same depth as the MUSC talk, with additional emphasis on systemic sclerosis-ILD screening and the G-FoRSS exercise-as-disease-modifying-medicine framework.

Speaking topics.

Available formats: CME (25 min · 45 min · 60 min), Grand Rounds (60 min), conference keynote (45–60 min), patient education (30–45 min), podcast or interview (any length).

Lifestyle as Medicine: Nutrition, Exercise & Environmental Health in Rheumatic Disease

Three pillars anchored in named clinical trials. Available in 25-minute and 60-minute versions.

Flagship · CME-ready

Exercise as Disease-Modifying Medicine in Autoimmune Disease

The myokine system, sedentary time as independent CV risk, the LIFTMOR and HI-STIM safety data, prescribing resistance training to autoimmune patients.

Deep dive · Clinician-focused

Metabolic Health and the Autoimmune Patient

Why insulin resistance amplifies autoimmune activity. How to detect it on standard labs. How to address it without changing medications.

High relevance · Fibromyalgia / Long COVID

Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals and Autoimmune Risk

From NHANES PFAS data to intervention studies showing 27–76% body-burden reduction in days. Patient-actionable and evidence-anchored.

Patient education · Translatable

Reading Labs Beyond the Reference Range

hs-CRP, HOMA-IR, omega-3 index, vitamin D, anti-CCP, ANA — optimal ranges, what to do with the numbers, and how to track lifestyle interventions over time.

Practical clinical · Mixed audience

The Cancer-Mimic Workup: IgG4-Related Disease and Granulomatous Disease in Practice

Diagnostic pearls and pitfalls in the autoimmune diseases that often present as malignancy. For rheumatologists, pathologists, oncologists.

Sub-specialty · Diagnostic
