Instructor: James Greenblatt, MD
Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is a complex eating disorder characterized by a “disturbed eating experience” not linked to body image concerns, food scarcity, or other medical conditions. In this compelling webinar, Dr. James Greenblatt will explore the biological drivers of ARFID and the essential role of nutritional repletion in recovery. You’ll learn practical, evidence-informed strategies for zinc testing and supplementation, and walk away with insights you can apply immediately in clinical care.
Overview
While behavioral interventions are often emphasized in Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) treatment, the critical role of nutritional status is frequently overlooked in patients. Pediatric patients with ARFID, for example, often show little interest in eating food or eat only a limited variety of preferred food—leading to poor growth and poor nutrition. In this FREE webinar, Dr. James Greenblatt will highlight the clinical significance of zinc—a key mineral involved in digestion, neurotransmission, and taste perception—and discuss how deficiencies may exacerbate avoidant eating behaviors. Clinicians will walk away with scientific strategies for testing and supplementation, and protocols you can use immediately with your patients to improve eating behaviors.
And be sure to stick around post-presentation for a live attendee Q&A with Dr. Greenblatt to learn more about our Pediatric Fellowship in Functional Psychiatry—a comprehensive program that provides effective clinical protocols, testing methodologies, and interventions for pediatric mental health patients. Bring your questions and gain insight into how our Fellowships can help enhance your practice and patient outcomes.
