The Metabolic Triad module was developed by James LaValle, RPh, CCN as a part of Integrative Health Resources and the clinical team headed by Andrew Heyman, MD in conjunction with Pamela W. Smith, MD, MPH. Its purpose is to define important physiologic interrelationships that mediate health and disease.
The Metabolic Code Triad system creates a framework to assess and treat patients by first understanding these important interrelationship hierarchies, and then provides specific treatment recommendations. The Metabolic Triad Training module is a breakthrough approach in clinical medicine that serves to organize complex patient presentations into a unified treatment approach.
The module will cover five triads that together underlie the clinical framework of the Metabolic Code. Case-based teaching forms a central part of the training, ensuring that the learner gains specific tools and techniques to effectively treat patients immediately after completing the course.
Triad 1: Adrenals-Thyroid-Pancreas
Triad 2: Gut-Immune-Brain
Triad 3: Cardio-Pulmonary-Neuro-Vascular
Triad 4: Liver-Lymph-Kidney
Triad 5: Estrogen-Progesterone-Testosterone

The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) is a US
federally registered 501(c) 3 non-profit organization
comprised of 22,000-plus member physicians, health
practitioners, scientists, governmental officials, and
members of the general public, representing over 105
nations.
The A4M is dedicated to the advancement of technology to
detect, prevent, and treat aging related disease and to
promote research into methods to retard and optimize the
human aging process. The A4M is also dedicated to educating
physicians, scientists, and members of the public on
biomedical sciences, breaking technologies, and anti-aging
issues.
The A4M believes that the disabilities associated with
normal aging are caused by physiological dysfunction which
in many cases are ameliorable to medical treatment, such
that the human lifespan can be increased, and the quality of
one's life enhanced as one grows chronologically older.
The A4M seeks to disseminate information concerning
innovative science and research as well as treatment
modalities designed to prolong the human lifespan.
Anti-Aging Medicine is based on the scientific principles of
responsible medical care consistent with those of other
healthcare specialties. Although the A4M seeks to
disseminate information on many types of medical treatments,
it does not promote or endorse any specific treatment nor
does it sell or endorse any commercial product.
