Approved for 1.5 CME AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™

Learn about new and breakthrough evidence-based strategies that lead to better outcomes for individuals living with anorexia. This seminar is for you if you are:
  • Frustrated with traditional treatment models for anorexia
  • Wondering why your patients aren’t getting better
  • Seeking new approaches clinically proven to lead to better outcomes in practice
  • Ready to move beyond medication and treat the root causes of anorexia
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.

Nutritional Psychiatry for Anorexia Nervosa

with Dr. James Greenblatt

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.
