Over the past few weeks, I’ve spoken with patients, clinicians, and colleagues at conferences and events across the country. And one thing is becoming unmistakably clear:

Our patients are asking better, more informed questions than ever before.

They’re asking about magnesium for anxiety, omega-3s for mood, and probiotics for brain fog. They’re reading the research. They’re taking supplements. And many of them—quite honestly—know more about nutrition and mental health than the professionals treating them.

It puts us, as clinicians, in an uncomfortable position.

We’re brilliant, compassionate, highly trained. But the truth is, most of us never received meaningful education in nutrition, metabolism, or the role of supplements in mental health care. And yet—like many of you—I take supplements every day. So why is it still so rare for us to be trained to safely, effectively, and confidently use them in clinical practice?

That’s the glass ceiling we must break.

The field is changing. Functional and integrative psychiatry is no longer fringe; it’s entering the mainstream. Even the American Psychiatric Association (APA) is beginning to recognize the critical role of nutrition in diagnosis and treatment. At this year’s conference, I’ll be attending a presentation by Dr. Felice Jacka, a pioneer in nutritional psychiatry whose research continues to show how dietary interventions can transform mental health outcomes.

This is real. This is evidence-based, just like what we teach at Psychiatry Redefined. I have spent the past 30 years honing functional psychiatry practices and offering patients a whole-person approach to root cause diagnosis and treatment. This is the foundation on which Psychiatry Redefined is built. 

Our commitment is driven by the knowledge that a functional psychiatry approach is critical to a clinician’s education.  We aim to help you stay at the forefront of the mental health provider education curve. Our patients are counting on us.

Our Fellowships provide the most comprehensive, trusted, and practical training in Functional and Integrative Psychiatry, helping you support your patient’s needs with the answers they’re looking for. The future of better, personalized mental healthcare lives with us.

I am committed to helping our industry change the trajectory of a mediocre pharma-first culture to be more inclusive of traditional, functional, and nutritional blended approaches to ensure more patients have access to root cause diagnosis and treatment. Our patients need us.

We are here to help you determine the right continuing education path so that you can effectively help your patients achieve lasting recovery.

Because they’re asking about nutritional supplements, we want to make sure you are ready to engage with them!
