An Integrated U: Modulating Inflammation through Integrative Health

Friday, November 7, 2025, 7:00 AM - 5:05 PM, UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center - Tamkin Auditorium, Los Angeles, CA

Integrative medicine is a holistic approach to care that combines conventional medical practices with evidence-based complementary therapies to support whole-person healing. It emphasizes the role of physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and environmental factors in health and disease. Inflammation, as a biological process, plays a critical role in immune defense and tissue repair. However, when this response becomes longstanding, dysregulated, or maladaptive, it can contribute to a wide range of complex and chronic diseases. Through its focus on root-cause analysis, integrative care offers clinicians a framework to identify and address the underlying drivers of dysfunctional inflammation—such as chronic stress, immune imbalance, dietary triggers, and toxin exposures—in order to promote resilience, restore physiologic balance, and support healing.

This one-day hybrid conference, An Integrative U: Modulating Inflammation through Integrative Health, will examine the multifactorial origins of inflammation and present integrative clinical strategies to mitigate its impact. Through expert-led sessions, attendees will explore the role of hormonal dysregulation, immune activation, dietary patterns, environmental toxin exposures, and microbiome imbalances in the inflammatory process. Presentations will highlight translational insights from clinical endocrinology, rheumatology, environmental health, sports medicine, and integrative dentistry, offering a multidisciplinary view of inflammation across systems and specialties.

With a focus on practical application, this program will equip healthcare professionals with evidence-based tools to support inflammation modulation in diverse care settings—from primary care to specialty clinics. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how integrative frameworks can enhance
