Metabolic Clarity is a two-day evidence-based learning experience exploring the biology, psychology, and behaviours that drive long-term health.
It’s built for healthcare professionals, dental teams, and anyone who wants to understand and measure metabolic health more clearly, both personally and professionally.
At its heart are two contrasting yet complementary journeys:
Prav - the Plant-Powered Minimalist
A vegetarian for decades, exploring nutrient density, inflammation control, and performance optimisation without animal foods.
Tif - the Ketovore Clinician
Rooted in ancestral nutrition, evolutionary physiology, and protein-centric simplicity.
Their shared conclusion: there is no single “right” diet - only evidence, context, and curiosity.
Together, they cut through nutritional dogma to reveal how data, lifestyle, and mindset intersect to define health.
Course Ethos
Metabolic Clarity is not about choosing sides – plants or meat, keto or carbs - it’s about context.
This course equips you to understand why something works, for whom, and how to measure it.
It unites rigorous science with lived experience, helping clinicians help patients to navigate health with evidence.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the programme, delegates will:
- Understand the root mechanisms of metabolic dysfunction and their link to cardiovascular, neurological, and dental disease in your own patients
- Evaluate the evidence behind plant and animal-based nutrition, protein quality, micronutrient density, and inflammatory potential.
- Interpret comprehensive blood panels, including lipid sub-fractions, inflammation markers, hormones, and micronutrients.
- Distinguish between cholesterol myths and lipid-science realities, learning how to interpret data in clinical context.
- Apply evidence-based strategies for nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, and habit change - for themselves and their dental patients.
What Is The Format Of The Course?
Foundations: Science, Self & Story
1. What Is Health?
Learn how optimal health transcends disease prevention to focus on energy, resilience, and longevity by addressing the Four Horsemen: cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegeneration, and metabolic syndrome. Discover why metabolic flexibility and mitochondrial function are the real markers of vitality.
2. Nutrition History & Dogma
How food guidelines evolved - politics, profit, and misunderstanding.
Why conflicting advice confuses patients. Evidence appraisal: how to separate correlation from causation.
3. Two Journeys: Vegetarian vs Meat Eater
Prav’s data: thriving without meat - nutrient optimisation, supplementation, and lab tracking.
Tif’s data: high-protein, low-carb living - lipids, energy, inflammation. Comparing biomarkers side by side.
4. Metabolic Syndrome & Insulin Resistance
Physiology of glucose and insulin control. Links between oral health, inflammation, and glycaemic variability. The importance of metabolic syndrome in periodontal disease - causation vs correlation
5. The Lipid Landscape - Context Is Everything
Why “high cholesterol” means nothing without context. Understanding lipid sub-fractions:
- LDL-C vs Apo B vs particle number and size
- HDL functionality, triglyceride ratios, and remnant cholesterol
- Inflammation and oxidation as true drivers of atherosclerosis.
6. Comprehensive Blood Panels
Understanding blood panels when assessing
- Core metabolic markers
- Inflammatory markers.
- Hormones & micronutrients
7. Patient Education and Clinical Communication
Learn to communicate complex metabolic and nutritional concepts—from insulin resistance to oral-systemic links, in clear, practical terms your patients can understand. This communication skill empowers patients to improve their health outcomes while building trust.
8. Predictive Markers and Risk Reduction
Discover how biomarkers reveal early warning signs of disease by correlating with inflammation, periodontal health, caries risk, and healing capacity. Use these insights to predict and prevent problems before symptoms develop.
9. Hands-On Blood Testing Workshop
Gain hands-on experience in blood testing for HbA1c and Vitamin D, learning how to perform, interpret, and integrate these tests into your dental practice workflow. Leave confident to implement testing protocols that enhance both clinical insight and patient engagement.
10. Medico-Legal Benefits and Clinical Governance
Documenting metabolic markers over time creates a valuable medico-legal safeguard that demonstrates your robust, evidence-based approach to patient care. This record strengthens informed consent, validates treatment decisions
11. Mental Health & Stress Physiology
Explore how glucose instability, micronutrient deficiencies, and inflammation impact mood, alongside practical resilience tools like breathwork, HRV tracking, journalling, and nature exposure. Understand the underlying biology of cortisol, serotonin, and neuroplasticity that drives mental resilience.
Integration: Movement, Measurement & Application
1. Exercise & Longevity
Muscle as a metabolic organ: glucose disposal and myokines.
Evidence for Zone 2 training and resistance work.
2. Sleep & Recovery
Sleep’s effect on insulin, appetite, and emotional balance.
Circadian optimisation: light exposure, temperature, and caffeine timing.
Tracking and improving sleep quality (Oura, Whoop, etc.).
3. Gut Health & the Microbiome
The gut-brain-immune axis and oral connections.
Prebiotics, probiotics, and fibre in vegetarian vs carnivore diets.
How food diversity (or restriction) alters microbial balance.
4. Fasting, Ketosis & Time-Restricted Eating
Comparing evidence across vegetarian, mixed, and carnivore populations.
Autophagy, insulin sensitivity, and mitochondrial efficiency.
Practical fasting frameworks for busy clinicians.
5. Recognising Metabolic Dysfunction
Physical and clinical signs: skin tags, visceral fat, acanthosis nigricans.
Waist-to-height ratio and other quick screening tools.
Case discussions: connecting physical clues to lab data.
6. Translating Data into Practice
How to communicate test results with empathy and clarity.
Using objective data to motivate patients.
7. Closing Session - The Blueprint
Designing your personalised metabolic plan.
Setting measurable re-testing intervals.
Building an evidence-based lifestyle: nutrition, exercise, sleep, mindset.

Meet the Lecturers
Tif Qureshi
Dr Tif Qureshi qualified from Kings College London in 1992. He is a Past President of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
Tif is founder and a clinical director of IAS Academy, an International faculty that provides mentored education for general dentists on a pathway from appropriate simple to comprehensive orthodontics.
Tif has a special interest in simple orthodontics and truly minimally invasive dentistry. He has committed his life’s work to empowering dentists to provide important alternative techniques. He offers a wide variety of treatments to many more patients, while always respecting the fundamental precepts of orthodontics.
Tif also pioneered the concept of Progressive Smile Design through Alignment, Bleaching, Bonding – a course that combines tooth alignment, composite bonding and teeth whitening to produce superior smiles using techniques with the absolute minimum of invasiveness available today.
An experienced teacher in the Dahl concept, Tif shows how this technique is used to plan tooth alignment and minimise invasive dentistry in the development of a beautiful smile.
Tif now lectures and published scientific articles internationally.
Prav Solanki
Following a post-medical PhD at Oxford University in 2006, Prav Solanki was destined for big things in scientific research.
But all that changed when his brother asked for help launching a new dental practice, and Prav caught the marketing bug.
He now applies a scientist’s eye to marketing as founder and director of The Fresh —one of the UK’s leading growth agencies for the dental and healthcare sectors.
Prav is also the owner of several successful dental and implant clinics and healthcare brands.
His lively keynote talks on practice growth and marketing have been a hit with audiences at events, including the ADI Team Congress, the BACD conference, the Dental Technology Showcase, and many more.
