This course, co-taught by Dr. James Greenblatt and Dr. Arwen Podesta, examines the biology underlying the phenomenon of addiction and integrative functional medicine strategies for addiction treatment. It explores exogenous and intrinsic alterations to the brain’s reward pathway, the role of serotonin and dopamine in reinforcing addiction, genetic influences in addiction susceptibility, and the ways in which psychosocial factors can precipitate abnormal neurobiology. From this functional perspective, the course then explores evidence- based interventions to support addiction recovery, ranging from medications and targeted nutritional supplementation to meditation, yoga, and acupuncture.

Scientific evidence confirms ADHD to be a neurologic, brain-based disorder represented by numerous biological abnormalities.  What is observable as atypical behavior is merely the tip of an iceberg that extends down to an individual’s unique biochemical makeup. Certain nutritional imbalances, which can profoundly impact cognition and behavior, are significantly correlated with this common disorder. Health-care practitioners, however, often overlook diet, micronutrient status, and individual biochemistry in ADHD treatment and assessment.

Fortunately, addressing nutritional imbalances with an integrative treatment plan has proven effective in treating ADHD.  This three-module course will introduce Dr. Greenblatt’s breakthrough Plus/Minus plan for ADHD and provide a comprehensive overview of the biochemistry ‘beneath’ the disorder.  Dietary interventions and augmentation strategies for the mitigation of specific nutrient deficiencies will be reviewed, as well as recommendations for going “beyond biochemistry” to enhance treatment outcomes.

This four-module course provides clinicians of all specialties with a comprehensive introduction to Dr. Greenblatt’s integrative model for the treatment of anxiety disorders.  Following an empirically substantiated rationale for the de-prioritization of symptom classification, and a step away from pharmaceutical approaches that overlook causality, the viability of a functional medicine approach will be elucidated through objective reviews of recent studies that show anxiety to be associated with nutritional deficiencies, neurotransmitter dysfunction, systemic inflammation, and other endogenous factors.  The mechanisms through which these factors affect changes in cognition and behavior will be explored, with an emphasis on the practical ramifications of biochemical individuality.  Guidelines for testing will be offered alongside specific nutritional interventions to address anxiogenic physiology, and complementary strategies to support integrative treatments – such as exercise, yoga, and herbal supplements – will be reviewed.  Upon completion, registrants will be able to implement evidence-based integrative methods into clinical protocols and maximize therapeutic outcomes for patients in need.

This course offers practitioners a functional medicine model for the reduction and elimination of side-effects in patients taking psychotropic drugs.  Registrants will be provided with an overview of pharmaceutical use in mainstream psychiatry, and the unprecedented steps some patients are now taking in order to get themselves off medication.  A rationale for the implementation of a slow taper, secondary to an integrative assessment per THE ZEEEBRA approach, will be presented as a protocol for discontinuation and the elimination of withdrawal effects.  Thereafter, nutritional and herbal interventions for the amelioration of medication-induced weight gain and sexual dysfunction will be reviewed. Gene variants associated with medication-induced weight gain will be discussed, and the clinical utility of gene testing for minimizing weight-related side-effects will be elucidated.  Finally, tardive dyskinesia (TD) will be explored: biologic factors linked to its pathogenesis, mainstream treatment options, and the demonstrated superiority of integrative approaches for symptom resolution.  Nutritional interventions with a proven track record of success in eliminating TD will be introduced, along with Dr. Greenblatt’s recommendations for dosing and titration.  The course will conclude with an open-minded discussion about the role medications can and should play in today’s functional medicine practice, and a clarification of psychiatry’s most fundamental objectives in addressing mental illness safely, effectively, and ethically.

Suicide is the observable result of what is often a complex array of problems.  Strong scientific evidence suggests that suicide risk is moderated by underlying biochemical abnormalities and environmental factors, which together can impact brain structure and function. Brain alterations that accrue as a result can place an individual along a path towards tragedy.  In being a phenomenon that science has shown to involve myriad endogenous and exogenous factors, however, suicidality – and psychiatric disorders that confer increased risk – invites an integrative approach that may offer at-risk patients the very best opportunity for recovery.

This three-module course will introduce an integrative model for suicide prevention, one in which the concept of suicidality as the result of underlying biochemical, nutritional, genetic, and environmental factors is explored.  Research illustrating the benefits of nutritional supplementation to mitigate risk factors will be presented; evidence-based interventions will be described; and a treatment approach centered upon objective biologic measurement and a concept of biochemical individuality will be presented.

Schizophrenia is a variable and multifactorial mental disorder producing a spectrum of symptoms ranging from odd but harmless behavioral abnormalities to full psychosis.  Such dynamic symptomatic presentations, in tandem with research supporting a biological model of schizophrenia pathogenesis and pathophysiology, invite functional medicine treatment approaches that emphasize biochemical individuality and the mitigation of etiologic risk factors.

This five-module course incorporates the classical theories of orthomolecular medicine into modern nutritional psychiatry, presenting decades of research evidence supporting the utility and efficacy of integrated approaches to the treatment of schizophrenia.  Micronutrient deficiencies, toxic neurochemical aggregations, systemic inflammation, and other etiologic factors will be elucidated in regard to the mechanisms through which they precipitate neurologic dysfunction, and addressed through comprehensive functional medicine protocols for use in clinical practice.
