Some of the panels we attended included: 2026 Visionary Award Announcement Lee Hood, MD, PhD, and CEO, of Phenome Health. Who was honored.

Lee Hood, MD, PhD, spoke on a topic called, A Discussion of Two AI-Driven Healthcare Paradigm Changes and Their Integration: Data-Driven Individual Health and Information-Based Peptide Drugs.

Contemporary healthcare is focused primarily on identifying and treating clinically defined diseases. About 10 years ago, we initiated the first efforts on personalized data-driven health for 108 individuals. Data-driven health included the individual analyses of one’s complete genome and a longitudinal analyses of one’s changing phenotype through phenomic measurements such as the quantification of blood analytes, the gut microbiome and a digital health device for physiological assessments.

The success of this effort led to the creation of a wellness company, Arivale, which over a period of 4 years analyzed the genomes and phenomes of 5000 individuals.

Before Dr.Hood, received his award and spoke, he mentioned that he was 87 years old and he just did 200 pushups in his room before he came down to get his award and speak.

I was very impressed by Dr.Hood, doing the 200 pushups and the keynote he delivered, he is truly a great man doing great things alongside his team members.

Some of the other topics included: LUNCHEON PRESENTATION: Decoding GLP-1 Side Effects: Practical Gut Health Solutions for GLP-1 Therapy Success (Location: Madison) Robert Alan Bonakdar M.D., FAAFP, FACN, ABOIM.

Patient compliance is critical for GLP-1 therapy success, yet GI side effects often drive early discontinuation.

This session delivers evidence-based, integrative strategies to support tolerability and prevent therapy abandonment. Featuring Robert Bonakdar, MD, Director of Pain Management at Scripps.

CNE, CPEU: Vaginal Health & Intimacy—the Microbiome Connection, by Anna Cabeca, DO, OBGYN, FACOG, CEO, Golden Isles Medical.

The vaginal microbiome is a critical yet often underappreciated element of women’s health, influencing not only vaginal comfort but also sexual wellness and overall well-being. Hormonal changes throughout a woman’s life, especially during perimenopause and menopause, significantly affect the balance of this delicate ecosystem.

As levels of hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and DHEA decline, the vaginal environment becomes more alkaline, reducing beneficial Lactobacillus populations and increasing the risk of discomfort, infections, and sexual dysfunction.

Understanding how to restore and maintain a healthy vaginal microbiome is essential for improving both intimate and overall health.

The Symposium was jam packed for three days all kinds of topics related to health and dynamic speakers from all over the world, sharing their insight, research and experiences.
