Join us for an insightful webinar exploring Dr. James Greenblatt’s evidence-based Functional Medicine model for treating substance use disorders. This session offers a roadmap integrating Functional & Nutritional Medicine with traditional approaches to restore patient balance. He will provide a comprehensive, personalized approach to treatment, with an extensive focus on the nutritional and mineral deficiencies associated with addiction that can alter brain function.
Overview
In this webinar, Dr. Greenblatt will present an effective functional medicine blueprint to assist in patient recovery. He will examine the historical context of niacin (Vitamin B3) deficiency as it applies to substance use disorders, drawing on insights from figures like Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Bill W. Discussion will then segue to the extraordinary utility of low-dose lithium. An essential trace mineral used medicinally for over 2,000 years, lithium has long been recognized for its potent mood-stabilizing and neuroprotective effects. Recent research has highlighted its remarkable potential as a nutraceutical intervention in the treatment of substance use disorders. Through rediscovered historical legacies, we uncover modern-day lessons and paradigm-shifting clinical pearls.
