Erectile dysfunction (ED) is more than just a quality-of-life issue – it is a clinical symptom for underlying vascular, metabolic dysfunction, and mental health status. This session will equip you with the knowledge to approach ED not just as a symptom to treat, but as an opportunity to intervene early on cardiometabolic risk factors.
Lara Zakaria PharmD, MS, CNS, CDN, IFMCP is a pharmacist and professor, with 20 years’ experience in community pharmacy. She will explore cornerstone pharmacologic options, including PDE-5 inhibitors and testosterone therapy, while integrating broader strategies such as dietary interventions, exercise, and evidence-based nutraceuticals.
By reframing ED as a systemic health indicator rather than an isolated condition, this session will equip practitioners with practical tools to optimize treatment outcomes, enhance patient counseling, and implementing a whole-person care approach that addresses both immediate symptoms and long-term health risks.
