This program will feature a broad spectrum of case-based presentations providing participants with a comprehensive review of metabolic disorders in men [defined as one or more of the following conditions: hypogonadism, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), erectile dysfunction (ED), obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia and elevated blood pressure] which the literature is now indicating may all be related and curable if the male patient is treated as a whole. It will examine how these different disorders relate to each other in the adult male and how in many cases, through systematic testing and treatment, the patient can be restored to a healthier state.
