Nutrition and Integrative Methods for Trauma

Evidence-based research suggests that there are significant limitations to pharmaceutical interventions for PTSD. Nutritional and integrative strategies can offer an effective alternative. Yet how do we help clients understand the connections between their physical well-being and traumatic etiologies? What methods and interventions do we choose, at what stage of recovery, and who is a viable candidate? This session will explore the latest research and clinical application of culinary, nutritional, herbal, and psychedelic medicine.
