In Memoriam: Paul Parente, DO , 1930–2015

Paul Parente, DO, passed away on 28 May 2015, after a long illness. He wasknown as an excellent integrative physician who always had time to teach andsupport his colleagues at the Great Lakes College of Medicine (nowknown as the International College of Integrative Medicine). He was along-time board member and served as its president. He was an inspirationto the rest of us, especially showing us how his partnership with Dr. AlScarchilli not only thrived but together they were so much more than eitherof them apart. Paul practiced in Farmington Hills, Michigan, for many years,which was a gift to the citizens of the Detroit area, and patients who camefrom Canada to see him as well. Our condolences to Barbara, children, andgrandchildren.

    Hybrid Event

    Menopause Care in the Longevity Era Longevity medicine is everywhere right now. Supplements, protocols, influencer clinics, patients walking in with questions about interventions their doctors have never heard of. What's missing from most of it is the evidence. The Midlife Women's Health Summit is three days on what the research actually says about menopause care when you add a longevity lens. What works, what doesn't, what's being oversold, and what to tell the patient sitting in front of you. Co-chaired by Lisa Larkin, MD, FACP, MSCP, IF, Jen Gunter, MD, FRCS(C), FACOG, DABPM, ABPMR, and Lauren Streicher, MD, FACOG, MSCP; three of the clearest voices in women's health on separating data from marketing.
