69. Functional & Integrative Psychiatry: Nutrition & Mental Health with James Greenblatt
“Whatever happens in the body affects the brain, and what happens in the brain affects the body” - Dr. James Greenblatt.
The biomedical model of mental health is critiqued for being “one size fits all” and ignoring multiple pathways that can lead to whole system dysfunction. Dr. James Greenblatt, a psychiatrist and early adopter of the now popularized functional medicine lens to mental health, is working to bridge disciplines in order to treat the individual more holistically and uncover hidden root causes of dysfunction. In this episode, we talk about why different physiological concerns have multiple pathways that manifest in a vast variety of mental health outcomes. For any one person with a mental health condition, it may be rooted partially in trauma, hypothyroidism, vitamin deficiencies, food allergies, celiac disease, diabetes, and so much more. Greenblatt argues for the power of testing many biomarkers and using nutrition to help heal and even taper off of psychopharmaceuticals when possible.
In this episode:
A pioneer in the field of functional and integrative medicine, board-certified child and adult psychiatrist, James M. Greenblatt, MD, has treated patients since 1988. After receiving his medical degree and completing his psychiatry residency at George Washington University, Dr. Greenblatt completed a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry at Johns Hopkins Medical School. He served as the Chief Medical Officer at Walden Behavioral Care in Waltham, MA for nearly 20 years and has been an Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Tufts University School of Medicine and Dartmouth College Geisel School of Medicine. He is the author of eight books, including the best-seller, Finally Focused: The Breakthrough Natural Treatment Plan for ADHD. His updated edition of Answers to Anorexia was released in October 2021 and his newest book, Functional & Integrative Medicine for Antidepressant Withdrawal is available now. He is the founder of Psychiatry Redefined, an online learning platform, dedicated to an evidence-based, personalized treatment model for mental illness.
