Holistic approaches to mental health treatment are the future of your profession

Clients aged 40 and older suffering from trauma, PTSD and depression are at high risk of cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias — and they don’t even know it.

As if that weren’t bad enough…

Clients are also getting herbs, supplements, diet plans and questionable detox programs from “Dr. Google” to help relieve the exhausting symptoms of their mental health challenges…

Which can cause adverse reactions and actually worsen their mental health.

This is why it’s essential that mental health professionals today understand the connections between body and mind, nutrition and moods, interactions between herbs and pharmaceuticals, and more.

Taking a holistic approach to your clients’ mental health gives you the unique ability to guide your clients to freedom from their frustrating symptoms in a way that “mind only” approaches can’t do…

And save them—and their families—from the slow-motion devastation of cognitive decline and dementia.

To give you the confidence and competence to apply nutrition and integrative medicine to your practice, I’m inviting you to enroll in my all-new, exclusive online certification training course…

Based on 40 years of research and experience, this training course provides evidence-based strategies and tools you can use to become a leader in Integrated Care…

So you can safely and effectively help your clients break free from their frustrating symptoms.
