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 October 13, 2026. Live sessions are scheduled for October 13th and 20th.

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)

WHO SHOULD ENROLL: MDs and DOs (including psychiatrists, pediatricians, and family and general practice physicians), NDs and NMDs, nurses and nurse practitioners, therapists, dietitians, and other health and other professionals treating eating disorders or seeking to expand their expertise with integrative, evidence-based strategies.

ACCREDITATION: Eligible for 8.25 CME AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™

Eating Disorders Training Curriculum


Functional & Integrative Medicine for Anorexia Nervosa

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.
