Course Overview

Educational, not medical advice

This course covers supplement and nutrient protocols at an educational, class level. It is not personalized medical advice, and several lessons cover medication-nutrient interactions that should always be reviewed with your prescriber before you change your supplement routine. If you are in crisis, call or text 988.

Evidence & Clinical Approach

Built on Nutritional Psychiatry and taught at a deliberately high evidence bar: it separates well-supported practice from popular-but-contested theory, and is psychoeducation designed to support, not replace, professional care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this course tell me what supplements to take?

It teaches the evidence behind specific protocols, EPA vs DHA dosing, vitamin D and magnesium forms, the 4R gut restoration approach, so you understand what the research actually supports. It is not a personalized prescription. A full lesson is dedicated to medication-nutrient interactions specifically because several supplements interact with SSRIs, MAOIs, lithium, and antipsychotics, and any change to your regimen should go through your prescriber first.

Is this course a replacement for therapy?

No. It provides psychoeducation and skill-building based on evidence-based frameworks, but it is not a substitute for individualized professional treatment. It works best alongside care, as structured learning between sessions.

What if I'm currently in crisis?

If you're experiencing a mental health crisis, contact emergency services (988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, 911) or go to your nearest emergency room. The platform includes safety monitoring that alerts assigned providers when distress is detected.

How is this different from self-help content?

Structured, sequential lessons with interactive exercises, progress tracking, and provider oversight. Your assigned provider can see your progress and tailor sessions to what you are learning.
