Overview

These conferences will explore the field of Integrative Medicine as it pertains to the treatment of mental illness and related disorders. The current trial-and-error, poly-pharmacy approach to the treatment of mental illness does not work for everyone. Furthermore, many mental health disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, OCD, and eating disorders often have dietary and biological causes. These causes can be successfully addressed through a combination of specialized testing, nutritional therapies, and traditional approaches.

Topics that will be addressed include: nutritional deficiencies, immune system dysfunction, intestinal dysbiosis, digestive disorders, metabolic imbalances, allergies, environmental toxins, and infectious conditions. A comprehensive overview of biological testing, designed to detect underlying health issues that contribute to imbalanced brain chemistry, will be presented and simplified to enhance clinical practice. Practical clinical applications of nutritional therapies for the treatment of mental illness will be the focus of these conferences.
