Clinical Focus & Structure
Our Fellowship is built around nine evidence-backed areas of clinical focus that provide the organizational structure for our curriculum and inform our proactive approach to care. There’s a lot of information on functional medicine available online. Many other functional medicine trainings offer fragmented or non-clinical overviews of integrative psychiatry, often designed to be quick credentials or business boosters. Psychiatry Redefined is different. We help you distill the essentials and learn how to apply key concepts in a clear manner. We offer in-depth, scientifically validated, clinically tested protocols to address these key areas. Our Fellowship isn’t about hype—it’s about healing, grounded in decades of clinical research and supported by world-class faculty.

NUTRITIONAL & METABOLIC PSYCHIATRY: Our brain and body cannot function properly without the appropriate nutrients. And nutritional deficiencies, including vitamin D, B12, folate, iron, zinc, magnesium, omega-3 fats and others can all play a detrimental role in brain function. Likewise, many mental health disorders can be caused by imbalances in the body’s metabolism as a result of diet, genetics, and stress. By properly assessing and treating nutritional imbalances and metabolic factors (like insulin resistance and inflammation), symptoms of mental health conditions often improve or resolve.
INFECTIONS: Some infections, such as Lyme disease, streptococcus and clostridium can cause or contribute to mental health problems such as obsessive compulsive disorder, eating disorders, anxiety and depression. While often overlooked, knowing how to assess for and treat chronic infections can be a critical factor in helping patients recover from mental illness.
GENETICS: Genetics play a role in the development of many mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and schizophrenia. Understanding how to assess genetic markers and modify treatment appropriately is a fundamental component of both functional and personalized medicine.
NEURODIVERSITY: Neurodivergent individuals exhibit sensory (interoception), neurological and perceptual differences that can lead to dramatically increased incidences of mental health disorders, emotional dysregulation, substance abuse, chronic pain, burnout and more. Understanding these neurological differences is key to providing personalized, neurodivergent-affirming treatment, improving mental health outcomes, enhancing patient communication and support.
GASTROINTESTINAL MICROBIOME:The gastrointestinal microbiome plays a significant role in both physical and mental health. Through a number of different mechanisms, the brain influences the gut and vice versa. By assessing for and addressing microbiome disturbances, many patients notice improvements in both physical and mental health symptoms.
HORMONES: Hormones, including the sex hormones, thyroid hormones and insulin, can all play a role in the development of mental health disorders. Measuring and treating hormone dysregulation can be another powerful tool on the path to recovery from mental illness.
PSYCHEDELICS: Psychedelics have been shown to be effective in the treatment of some mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. While not a panacea, psychedelics can help to alter the brain’s chemistry and promote neuroplasticity, which is the brain’s ability to change and adapt.
FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE TESTING: The core of functional psychiatry is objective laboratory testing that can be used to identify and monitor the underlying causes and factors that contribute to mental health. For example, blood tests can be used to check for nutritional deficiencies, endocrine dysregulation, microbiome disruptions, genetic markers, toxicities, infections and inflammation, all of which can contribute to mental illness. Lab testing can help in both identifying the causes and monitoring a patient’s progress during treatment.
PSYCHIATRIC MEDICATIONS & SIDE EFFECTS: Medication treatments for mental health conditions, while not typically a cure, still have their place. Using medications appropriately when needed can help patients in their recovery. In addition, through the proper application of functional medicine, it is often possible to reduce or eliminate common medication side effects, improving patient compliance.

Online Core Curriculum
Introduction to Functional Psychiatry
An Exclusive Course by James Greenblatt, MD (1 Hour)
Mental illness should be seen as a reflection of multiple internal imbalances. If we understand the causes of these imbalances, we will understand the cures. Functional medicine – or root cause medicine – is an individualized, patient-centered approach to treatment that focuses on balancing the body’s biology and systems by treating the underlying causes of illness and disease. Join Dr. Greenblatt as he explores the foundations of functional psychiatry—a whole-body approach to treating psychiatric conditions like depression, anxiety, or ADHD. This approach identifies the root causes of mental illness in order to treat and restore health of the body and brain.
Integrative Psychiatry Fundamentals
An Exclusive Course by Peter Bongiorno ND, LAc (3 Hours)
Join Dr. Peter Bongiorno an in-depth discussion and exploration of how mental health symptoms have multivariate underpinnings that span all disciplines of medicine: hematology, immunology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, neurology, etc. Even more, there are strong lifestyle, dietary, and environmental reasons as well as genetic predispositions that affect our physiology. Given this new holistic and functional paradigm, Dr. Bongiorno will thoroughly explores the etiology and pathology of mental illness. He will identify important but often overlooked aspects of truly caring for psychiatric patients. Dr. Bongiorno will review the essentials of an integrative psychiatric first intake.
He will identify important key laboratory tests a clinician can use to artfully understand the underlying causes; focus on key pertinent lifestyle, environmental and food treatments that can enhance mental health; and how to best prioritize supplementation (vitamins, herbs, amino acids and more) based on lab tests and thorough patient history, to maximize clinical efficacy. Finally, Dr. Bongiorno will spend time positioning the clinician as to how best work with this integrative approach for patients not taking meds, and for those already on meds, as well as how to safely wean off medications when appropriate using natural medicines to support this transition.
