Functional Medicine for Binge Eating Disorder Training
Support your patients with breakthrough, science-based treatment approaches for Binge Eating Disorder
This certified training is the most comprehensive functional medicine program for treating Binge Eating Disorder (BED) and Food Addiction (FA). You’ll learn protocols to address individual biochemistry, re-balance appetite, restore optimal brain function, and help your patients sustain recovery through healthy dietary and lifestyle modifications.
Psychiatry Refined presents the certified Binge Eating Disorder Training, led by James Greenblatt, MD, esteemed author and foremost authority in Functional and Integrative Psychiatry. Dr. Greenblatt’s pioneering New Hope Model for Binge Eating Disorder (BED), as detailed in his bestseller, Integrative Medicine for Binge Eating, represents a departure from the traditional methodologies that predominantly manage symptoms alone. Instead, this approach advocates for a comprehensive, integrative approach that addresses the entirety of the individual, incorporating functional medicine and cognitive behavioral health therapies to provide a clinically sound framework for lasting recovery.
The New Hope Model integrates nutritional psychiatry, psychological interventions, medical strategies, and functional medicine into a cohesive framework, delivering a holistic and personalized approach to care. With over three decades of experience and a substantial patient base, Dr. Greenblatt has refined a science-based methodology for addressing binge eating and food addiction, grounded in current medical research and enhanced by natural therapeutic strategies.

Principles of The New Hope Model
- Integrative approach: The New Hope Model integrates conventional medical treatments with functional and integrative therapies, addressing the multifaceted nature of Binge Eating Disorder (BED) and Food Addiction (FA).
- Focus on root causes: This approach aims to identify and treat the underlying biological, psychological, and nutritional factors contributing to BED and FA.
- Patient-centered care: Tailors care to each patient’s unique circumstances and needs, offering personalized treatment plans that prioritize the individual’s journey to rediscovering a healthy relationship with food
- Holistic health: Prioritizing overall well-being, the New Hope Model considers the entire spectrum of the patient’s health. This holistic perspective ensures that all aspects of the individual’s life and health are considered, promoting comprehensive and sustained recovery.
Gain effective functional medicine strategies to help your patients move beyond dieting, injectable solutions, and medical stigmas.
Research shows that obesity, binge eating, and food addiction are driven by metabolic disruptions and gut-brain signaling problems, not a lack of willpower. Learn how to apply proven functional treatment models to regulate neurotransmission and appetite, rebalance nutrition, and end the cycle of disordered eating.
