"An Accidental Psychiatrist’s Discovery of How Nutrition and Biology Influence Mood, Behavior, Attention and Memory"
Could it be that depression, anxiety, insomnia, attention deficit disorder, autism, obsessive compulsive disorder, and dementia (not to mention any other of the hundreds of different mental disorders described in the “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV” (DSM IV)) may be caused by imbalances in the body and have nothing to do with the meaning, metaphors and myths we associate with them?
Can changing diet, nutrient levels or circadian rhythms, sleep patterns or substance use, exercise or play time, managing the stress response, or elimination of toxins from the body, correcting imbalances in the digestive tract, or fixing food sensitivities or allergies can radically transform mood and brain function and deeply influence mood, memory and attention?
This lecture reviews the revolutionary new science of systems biology and medicine that shows, at the deepest level, how everything is connected in the body – and how the state of one’s health and well-being is determined by the interplay of your genes, lifestyle, and environment. And that often the best way to change your mind is to change your body.
Learning Objectives
-Participants will identify the 7 core physiological dysfunctions that underlie changes in mood, memory and attention including the stress response.
-Participants will be able to identify at least six common factors in a medical history (including) that point to biological causes of brain dysfunction.
-Participants will list 5 critical biological markers for brain dysfunction and learn how to identify and test for them in patients, and develop a treatment plan based on the causes of brain dysfunction.
