“This seminar has been an incredible and eye opening opportunity for me to understand the biology behind eating disorders. Unfortunately this information is not standard in typical training programs for eating disorder ‘specialists’ — but absolutely NEEDS TO BE! Hopefully we can be the ones to change mental health CARE thanks to Dr. Greenblatt!”
~ Danielle S.
100% of anorexia patients are malnourished, and mainstream treatment models are fundamentally incomplete.
Traditional treatments for anorexia prioritize psychology and BMI restoration, and tend to omit considerations of biology, as well as the connections between malnutrition and brain function. In this seminar, Dr. James Greenblatt, world-renowned expert on nutritional psychiatry and bestselling author of Answers to Anorexia, will discuss proactive approaches to nutrition repletion and proven, evidence-based strategies to help patients find lasting relief.

Why aren’t we treating a disorder that robs the body of nutrients… with nutrients?
With a relapse rate of upwards of 50% and the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disorder, anorexia nervosa presents today’s mental health clinicians and patients with a significant and daunting challenge.
In this 2.5 hour seminar, Dr. James Greenblatt will present an evidence-based, integrative, biological model of anorexia treatment that addresses malnutrition and prioritizes nutritional repletion. He will review research linking essential nutrient deficiencies, brain function, and anorexia symptoms with a focus on zinc, B vitamins, and essential fatty acids, and how digestion optimization may improve therapeutic outcomes.
This seminar will help mental health professionals of all types learn how to apply nutritional repletion protocols and utilize a toolbox to tackle anorexia, providing real hope for recovery.
