Eating disorders are among the most challenging psychiatric conditions to treat, with high relapse rates and devastating health consequences. Traditional care models often focus on symptom management and caloric restoration, but lasting recovery requires a deeper, root-cause approach.

This brand-new intensive training program, led by pioneering psychiatrist and best-selling author, James Greenblatt, MD, blends decades of research, clinical practice, and functional medicine insights. Drawing from Dr. Greenblatt’s popular courses on anorexia and binge eating disorder, this comprehensive training equips clinicians with protocols to address the unique biochemical, nutritional, and metabolic drivers underlying eating disorders.

                 

START DATE & LIVE SESSIONS: Training begins November 18. Live sessions are scheduled for November 18th and December 2nd.

PROGRAM FORMAT: Fully online training combining self-paced curriculum, an exclusive webinar lecture, and two (2) live, online sessions providing live faculty guidance and trainee Q&A time (available as recordings for those unable to join)

Eating Disorders Training Curriculum


Functional & Integrative Medicine for Anorexia Nervosa
(4 CME credits)

This 3-module course, presented by Dr. James Greenblatt, introduces a functional medicine model for anorexia nervosa (AN) treatment and recovery, in which the concept of anorexia nervosa is the result of a complex and biologically-mediated interplay between environmental, psychosocial, and metabolic factors is explored. Research supporting associations between metabolic abnormalities, dyslipidemia, micronutrient imbalances, and systemic inflammation will be objectively reviewed, illuminating critical treatment targets for today’s functional psychiatry practice and providing an empirically validated blueprint for personalized interventions. Upon completion, trainees will be able to substantiate the clinical utility of a functional medicine approach for anorexia nervosa, and safely incorporate evidence-based treatment strategies into existing therapeutic models to maximize patient outcomes.


Functional Medicine for Binge Eating Disorder Course

This two-module online course serves introduces Dr. Greenblatt’s breakthrough New Hope Model for BED patients. The New Hope Model is the cornerstone for the training, and teaches you how to identify imbalances in the brain, assess and treat via lab testing, and correct deficiencies and excesses through nutritional supplementation and augmentation. You’ll learn how the gut-brain connection and microbiome influence eating behaviors, along with how and what medications fit into treatment for each patient.



New Hope for Binge-Eating Disorder & Food Addiction Symposium Presentations
(8.25 CME credits)

Join global speakers to explore the research, clinical challenges, and controversies associated with Binge-Eating Disorder (BED) and food addiction, and discover an evidence-based functional medicine approach to treatment.
