Here’s what leading physicians have to say about this book:
“For years I have been asked what nutrition book I would recommend as a starting text in developing mastery in clinical nutrition. My answer is the updated and revised edition of the Clinical Nutrition textbook published by the Institute for Functional Medicine.”
Jeffrey Bland, PhD, FACN, CNS
Founder, IFM
“A great place to start a journey of discovery concerning the nutritional biochemistry underlying health and disease.”
Joe Pizzorno, ND
President Emeritus, Bastyr University
“The revised Clinical Nutrition text provides not only the most clinically relevant facts about nutritional biochemistry, but also the organizational tools and functional architecture to assist in the application of this information in the clinical encounter.”
David S. Jones, MD

| Thirteenth Linus Pauling Functional Medicine Award |
In May 2007, at the 14th International Symposium on Functional Medicine, the Thirteenth Linus Pauling Functional Medicine Award was given to Michael F. Holick, PhD, MD. Dr. Holick, an internationally recognized expert in vitamin D and skin research, received the award for decades of pioneering work that elucidated the important role vitamin D plays in a wide variety of chronic health conditions.
Michael F. Holick is a professor of medicine, physiology, and biophysics, and director of the General Clinical Research Center at Boston University School of Medicine and Director of the Bone Health Clinic at Boston Medical Center.

The Ideal Text for Understanding Functional Medicine
Clinicians who have chosen to focus on the management of complex, chronic disease and primary preventive care have not chosen an easy path. This book creates a new road map for improving patient outcomes across a wide range of chronic health conditions. It includes 37 chapters authored by experts from many disciplines whose knowledge has never before been integrated in a single text. The approaches to disease management and prevention described here represent the evolution of the functional medicine model over more than 20 years, through the voices of leading clinicians and scientists.
Discover what makes this outstanding text indispensable to healthcare practitioners:- The healthcare system needs to substantially improve the management of complex, chronic disease and the health of an aging population in the 21st century. The Textbook of Functional Medicine provides a model of care that helps us achieve that goal. In addition, the book outlines a rigorous architecture for embracing available scientific breakthroughs so that powerful tools in systems biology can be brought to bear on improving both disease prevention and treatment outcomes (Section I).
- The scientific principles, building blocks, and fundamental physiological processes for "comprehensive patient evaluation"are carefully clarified (Sections II through IV).
- An exploration of the fundamental clinical imbalances that underlie complex, chronic disease (Section V) precedes a wide-ranging discussion on practical clinical approaches for improving patient management (Section VI).
- The practical application of the functional medicine methodologies is presented in the context of important patient care issues commonly experienced today (Section VII).

| Jeffrey and Susan Bland Founders Award |
The Jeffrey and Susan Bland Founders Award was established in May 2003.
"In honor of the ten-year anniversary of the founding of The Institute for Functional Medicine, the Institute recognizes Jeffrey and Susan Bland for their vision and sustained effort to develop and support functional medicine and this organization.
"On behalf of all those who have benefited - and who will benefit in the future - from the Institute's educational programs, we thank them for their great generosity in endowing the Institute with sufficient assets to complete the transition to independence, and for their ongoing support.
"In establishing this award, we dedicate it to the recognition of those who will stand alongside the Blands in years to come by providing outstanding support and leadership for the Institute's future development."
The Blands select the recipient(s) of this award, which is announced at IFM's Symposium.
