Instructor: James Greenblatt, MD
Hair pulling. Skin picking. Nail biting. These behaviors—commonly known as Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs)—affect millions of individuals and are often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or mistreated. They can cause profound physical and emotional harm, especially in children and adolescents.
In this important webinar, integrative psychiatrist Dr. James Greenblatt, Chief Medical Officer of Psychiatry Redefined, will explore a functional medicine framework for assessing and treating these often-overlooked conditions. Drawing on more than 30 years of clinical experience, Dr. Greenblatt will discuss the underlying biological and nutritional factors that contribute to impulse-driven behaviors like hair pulling (Trichotillomania), skin picking (Excoriation Disorder), nail biting (Onychophagia), and more.
What You’ll Learn
In this webinar, Dr. Greenblatt will review:
- The role of gut health and inflammation in behavioral compulsions
- Evidence-based, functional interventions including low-dose lithium and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC)
- Clinical strategies to move beyond symptom suppression and toward sustained recovery
Join us to broaden your clinical perspective—and discover new, science-backed strategies to help your patients break the cycle.
