Discover how functional medicine is evolving at the IFM Annual Conference, including insights into systemic chronic inflammation, network-based thinking in disease, biomarker innovation (SII, SIRI, suPAR), and the rise of clinical collaboration models shaping the future of healthcare.
Dr. Kristine Burke is a physician trained in conventional family medicine who transitioned into functional medicine after recognizing the limitations of guideline-based approaches in managing chronic disease.
She specializes in cardiovascular health, complex chronic illness, and cognitive decline, with a strong focus on systems biology and root-cause medicine.
Dr. Burke has contributed to the development and clinical application of functional medicine frameworks, including lifestyle-based interventions, metabolic and inflammatory risk assessment, and multi-system clinical reasoning.
She is also involved in TrueNeuro, a collaborative initiative focused on reversing and preventing cognitive decline through early intervention and systems-based care models.
