Clinicians will learn how gut-eye axis mechanisms, AI-driven oculomics, sex-hormone transitions, and nutrient patterns influence ocular inflammation, retinal biomarkers, and whole-system health. Dr. Gioia illustrates how modern imaging (including emerging AI models), stool and hormone testing, and nutrient evaluation can support earlier identification of risk patterns and more personalized, prevention-forward care for patients across the lifespan.
