There has to be a better way.
A way to help your patients overcome their mental illness for good.
A way to help your patients achieve a meaningful and fulfilling life.
A way to help your patients break through treatment-resistance.
Program Overview
Instead of tackling symptoms alone, an integrative psychiatric practitioner makes a proactive leap towards holistic patient care. There are three core areas to guide a patient from illness into a genuine state of wellness…
Body
Resolve the complex web of underlying physical causes with functional medicine techniques
Mind
Connect psychiatric symptoms with your patient’s belief systems and trauma history
Lifestyle
Improve outcomes by addressing relationships, food choices, and other ecological factors
“I would say do it, without hesitation.”
Patrick Ellis, DO – IPI Fellowship Alumni
Norman, OK
If you’re sick of…
Piecing together disjointed topics from conferences spanning several years
Investing a lot of money on continuing education, only to get tidbits of information
Not knowing how to actually implement the learnings from a briefly mentioned idea
Trying to identify the bias behind a particular trainer or speaker’s recommendations
Spending time in functional medicine programs that barely touch on mental health
…this program is for you.
