Whether they're struggling to keep a job because they're too depressed to get out of bed — or developing an unhealthy relationship with food because they're too anxious to eat — or so stressed it's causing them debilitating physical pain…

…you can't heal the whole client if your go-to interventions overlook
nutrition, exercise, sleep, and other important factors.
 

Ignoring an issue (like your client's insomnia or inflammation) until you've "solved" another (their PTSD or substance misuse) means you're ignoring the conversation happening within their body — because when one system is out of balance, the other system is out of balance.

So, your strategies aren't as effective, progress takes longer, and you're stuck watching clients suffer through treatment in hope of feeling better.

That's why we've developed this unique, comprehensive course that will help you combine the power of nutritional and integrative medicine — using modalities like mindfulness, positive psychotherapy, neuroscience, CBT, and more…

…to support your clients in reaching their health goals, such as managing pain, addiction recovery, stress, anxiety reduction, and even getting a better night's sleep.

PLUS, when you complete this course, you'll be eligible to become a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional* through Evergreen Certifications. Increasing your expertise and transforming your practice has never been so easy!
