This comprehensive guide is designed to assist clinicians in leveraging metabolic approaches to optimize the care of hospitalized patients. Given the inherent nutritional component associated with virtually every disease process managed, it is paramount to address the macro- and micronutrient issues that can potentially facilitate a favorable clinical outcome.

Metabolic medicine, a rapidly emerging field, harnesses proven nutritional strategies to support hospitalized patients within the framework of existing standards of care. This book fills a critical gap by bridging the knowledge gap among physicians who typically focus on patient care without considering the nutritional and metabolic perspective.

Key Features:

State-of-the-art guidelines for practicing metabolic medicine within the hospital setting
A practical "hands-on" guide for daily metabolic management of hospitalized patients
Personal insights from one of the field's leading practitioners, drawing upon decades of experience
Comprehensive historical reviews of key scientific developments
Written by Dr. Michael M. Rothkopf, Clinical Professor of Medicine at Rutgers/New Jersey Medical School, and founder of the Metabolic Medicine Center at Morristown Medical Center.

This book is specifically tailored for the physician level of hospital care, offering valuable insights to a wide range of physicians, regardless of their medical specialty or subspecialty. It is also invaluable for medical students, resident physicians in training, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants working in hospital settings.

By incorporating metabolic medicine principles, healthcare professionals can enhance patient outcomes, improve disease management, and promote overall well-being during hospitalization.
