Metabolic Syndrome Masterclass
Presented by Dr Oscar Coetzee, MS, DCN, Clinical Nutritionist
Learn Strategies to Prevent & Treat the
Metabolic Syndrome Epidemic
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is increasingly common in Australia and worldwide. This increase is associated with the global epidemic of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
With the elevated risk there is an urgent need for clinicians to understand relevant strategies to prevent and treat this increasingly common cluster of conditions.
Metabolic syndrome can be a master of disguise and can occur with symptoms of:
- Glucose intolerance
- Central obesity
- Lipid abnormalities
- Hypertension
- Insulin resistance associated with excess abdominal weight
- Leptin Resistance
- Lipedema
- Uric Acid
- Anthropometric measurements
- Fatty Liver
- Conditions such as PCOS and sleep apnoea can also be associated
Dr Coetzee will tour Australia and New Zealand in October 2019
Don’t miss this compelling live Masterclass program.
Learn the clinical protocols, applications and research behind Dr Coetzee’s experience
in reversing Metabolic Syndrome and how to implement these in practice.
Masterclass
Key Learning Objectives
- Understand current, expanded assessment criteria for metabolic syndrome at an earlier stage, blood tests and anthropometric measurements.
- Know key lifestyle modifications to support reversal of metabolic syndrome. Learn which specific exercise regimes are proven effective and how to implement them for sustained results.
- Learn effective whole-food dietary protocols to reverse MetS. A detailed 12-week metabolic syndrome reversal program and instructions how to customise it for each patient is presented. Receive take-home handouts to use in clinic.
- Define relevant nutritional and botanical supplement regimes to support your patients’ individual outcomes; dosage for different patient presentations; protocols for maintenance after successful MetS reversal/recovery.
- Genomic insights to support assessment. Know genes and SNPs that influence metabolic syndrome and epigenetic factors to support MetS reversal.

Introducing Dr Oscar Coetzee
Dr Coetzee will present an interactive masterclass based on his 20 years’ experience and special areas of interest in clinical practice and research
Research and Teaching Faculty
Dr Coetzee is a full-time faculty member at Maryland University of Integrative Health, and in 2017 received the “Great Esteem Award” for his dedication to student performance. In 2018 he received recognition as an “associate professor”. He is also the Associate Director of Nutrition in the Doctor of Health Science Degree at the University of Bridgeport and serves as an adjunct faculty at the prestigious Georgetown Medical School.
Dr Coetzee is the director of clinical nutrition at Natural Health Care Center in Long Branch, NJ.

He is currently a member on the Designs for Health Science Advisory Board.
Dietary Protocols to Transform Health
Dr Oscar Coetzee has earned a Master’s degree in Human Nutrition from the University of Bridgeport, and a Doctorate in Clinical Nutrition (DCN) with a specialisation in nutrigenomics from Maryland University.
He was nominated for Best Research Study by the University of Bridgeport for his Master’s thesis, titled “Reversing of Metabolic Syndrome through the MSRP – Case Series Trial”.
Special Interest in Metabolic Syndrome
Dr Coetzee started his clinical professional career as a drug/alcohol abuse counsellor at Fair Oaks Hospital in New Jersey. In 2003, he established his own practice focusing on integrative nutritional interventions for chronic conditions and metabolic syndrome.
Dr Coetzee’s unique integration of science and the holistic model sets him apart in his field. His special interests are in the area of metabolic syndrome, intestinal permeability, type 2 diabetes, sports performance, and chronic inflammatory diseases.
“Metabolic Syndrome
is completely reversible.”
