Overview
Over the past fifty years disordered eating has become a major public health problem. Anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and obesity are considered genetic, biologically based syndromes, yet few medical or biological treatments have been shown to be consistently effective. The current trial-and-error, polypharmacy approach to the treatment of eating disorders does not work for many.
This seminar will present a novel Integrative Medicine approach to the treatment of eating disorders.
Practical clinical applications of nutritional therapies based on individual metabolic testing will be emphasized as well as a new protocol that provides a neurophysiologically based method for predicting personalized medications. This full day seminar will explore a multi-factorial approach based on individual dietary, metabolic and nutritional therapies, along with personalized medication.
