Mental health and allied health care professionals learn to identify individual nutrition and lifestyle factors that can compromise mental health from an integrative and functional nutrition perspective. Participants learn how to work with registered dietitians in implementing this approach to address anxiety and depression comorbidities in eating-disordered and disordered-eating populations . Special emphasis is given to anorexia nervosa, the eating disorder with the highest mortality rate, by drawing on expanding research on its etiology and treatment using a biopsychosocial model and client case study.
