Seminar recordings included with registration! CME & CE credits pending.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a common disorder characterized by mood instability, dissociation, and emotional dysregulation. While often dismissed as benign compared to other diagnoses and often misdiagnosed, BPD can cause significant functional impairments, often in tandem with one or more psychiatric comorbidities. More seriously, BPD is robustly associated with suicidality. To make matter worse, no medication is approved for the treatment of BPD, yet nearly 50% of BPD patients take multiple psychotropics simultaneously, bringing the added burden of potential medication side effects.
Attend this seminar and you’ll learn how to incorporate evidence-based strategies for testing and nutritional therapeutics into practice to help improve outcomes for your patients with BPD.
Transformative Nutritional Approaches for Borderline Personality Disorder
In this presentation, Dr. Greenblatt will offer novel insights into the metabolic, neurological, hormonal, and genetic underpinnings of BPD, introducing a functional medicine model for effective treatment. He will examine how omega-3 fatty acids, low dose lithium, L-theanine, and B vitamins impact presentation of this disorder, along with nutritional interventions to stabilize mood, reduce agitation and irritability, mitigate suicidality, and optimize brain and neurotransmitter production.
Integrative Innovations in the Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder
In this presentation, Dr. Korn will explore innovations in Integrative Medicine for effective interventions for BPD, including a critique of the current diagnostic category, and the limitations (failures) of medications. She will also present an integrative approach using the BrainBow Blueprint, integrating dietary and nutritional supplementation, herbal medicine, somatic therapies, enhancing interpersonal rapport, and self-care adherence.
The basics of nutrition are anything but basic when it comes to mental health.
Help your patients move beyond symptom management to lasting wellness with practical, evidence-based nutritional protocols.
