With Prof. Dr. Eline Slagboom and doctor & lifestyle doctor Chantalle Burgers.
Please note: this webinar is held in Dutch.
We know more and more about what it takes to live healthily. But how do you actually know how your body is doing?
Why does one person stay healthy into old age, while another develops diabetes or cardiovascular disease much earlier? And can we see changes in our body before we experience any complaints?
Biomarkers give more and more insight into the processes taking place in our body. But perhaps the most important question is:
What good is that information to you?
During this webinar, Prof. Dr. Eline Slagboom, Professor of Molecular Epidemiology at the LUMC, and Chantalle Burgers, doctor, lifestyle doctor and Medical Director of Vitahealth, take you from science to practice.
With a finger-prick at home, we can now measure more than 100 biomarkers in the blood that give insight into various processes linked to our health.
But measuring more does not automatically mean knowing more.
The value arises when you understand what that information means, what you can and cannot conclude from it, and what you can then do with those insights.
That is exactly what this webinar is about.
Eline and Chantalle will take you through:
And of course we also discuss the limits: what can biomarkers tell us, and what can they not?
There will be time to ask questions during the webinar.
The webinar is of interest if you want to know what biomarkers can mean for:
You are curious about what is happening in your body and what you can do yourself to stay as healthy as possible.
You are an employer, CEO or work in HR, vitality or sustainable employability and want to know what possibilities biomarkers offer for prevention.
You are, for example, a doctor, (lifestyle) pharmacist, lifestyle coach, combined lifestyle intervention (GLI) provider, physiotherapist, dietitian or other healthcare or vitality professional and are curious what role biomarkers can play in guidance and prevention.
You do not need a medical or scientific background to follow the webinar.
