This two-module course taught by Dr. James Greenblatt explores the clinical challenges of treating Binge-Eating Disorder and illuminates an evidence-based functional medicine model for treatment.  The New Hope Model integrates lab testing, nutritional supplementation, dietary modifications, and medication, and targets biochemical pathways that regulate appetite, allowing clinicians to address imbalances that perpetuate hunger and cravings and bring patients back into balance.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe one way that neurotransmitter regulation affects hunger and satiety signaling.
  2. List three common causes of functional amino acid deficiency.
  3. Discuss one example of how 5-HTP can affect appetite regulation.
