SUMMARY:Metabolic Syndrome among Justice-Involved Individuals: Implications for Mood\, Behavior\, Cognition\, and Physical Health
DESCRIPTION:A modern-day epidemic and daunting public health challenge\, metabolic syndrome is a constellation of cardio-metabolic risk factors\, including high blood pressure\, low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol\, high triglycerides\, central obesity\, impaired glucose tolerance\, and insulin dysfunction. The presence of metabolic syndrome drastically increases the risk of experiencing diabetes\, cardiovascular disease\, strokes\, and premature mortality. This is particularly true among those involved in the criminal justice system. Emerging research is also finding that metabolic syndrome has significant implications for mood\, behavior\, cognition\, and physical health. This training provides attendees with (a) an overview of metabolic syndrome\, (b) a review of the causes\, consequences\, and symptoms\, and (c) an exploration of interventions for metabolic syndrome among justice-involved individuals. This training highlights the importance of adopting multidisciplinary and integrated approaches\, characterized by collaborations with registered dieticians and licensed nutritionists\, psychogastroenterologists\, sleep specialists\, exercise specialists\, and other professionals. Such integrated care approaches (e.g.\, comprehensive screening and targeted holistic interventions) are crucial for improving short and long-term outcomes of justice-involved individuals with metabolic syndrome. \nJerrod Brown\, Ph.D.\, M.A.\, M.S.\, M.S.\, M.S.\, is a professor\, trainer\, researcher\, and consultant with multiple years of experience teaching collegiate courses.

Jerrod has completed four separate master’s degree programs and holds graduate certificates in Dyslexia\, Medical Biochemistry\, Exercise Prescription\, Neuroscience and the Law\, Neuropsychology\, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)\, Other Health Disabilities (OHD)\, and Traumatic-Brain Injuries (TBI).
