The conference sessions will focus on current and emerging best practices for the management of obesity, diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular disease:

- Rising incidence and prevalence of Obesity and T2DM
- Parallel increase in prevalence of NAFLD; up to 40% of the US population affected
- Introducing current and new treatment strategies to address these multiple overlapping disorders (with common pathogenic mechanisms)
- Pediatric Metabolic Diseases
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
- Impact of metabolic disorders on Renal outcomes
- Impact of metabolic diseases on COVID outcomes

These conditions are seen by all physicians and are often not captured or under-diagnosed. Our aim is to bring attention to these common disorders and need for early identification of those at highest risk.
