Navigating Pharmaceuticals & Nutraceuticals

Go beyond basic psychopharmacologyĀ bringing depth and an expanded toolkit to your holistic and integrative psychiatric practice.

Get Started

Go Beyond Basic Psychopharmacology

Don't stop at just initiating and following up on a medication that modifies neurotransmitter activity. Learn to expand your inquiry to include the trajectories of neurotransmitter synthesis, metabolism, and down-stream effect.

Through a Depth-Oriented Approach

Like a depth psychology, this is depth psychopharmacology where you'll learn how to:

  • Use diagnostic testing to evaluate neurotransmitter concentrations and patterns, and what to do about it
  • Incorporate advanced psychogenetic testing to guide treatment decisions
  • Optimize the synthesis of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine among other key neurotransmitters
  • Examine the ingredients required in the synthesis and degradation of major neurotransmitters
  • Prevent negative downstream effects of psychopharmacology options (like micronutrient disruptions)
  • Effectively navigate options to synthesize a holistic plan of care that is personalized to the individual you're caring for
