Using Amino Acids and OPCs in a Functional Medicine Model for Positive Mood
Presented by Dr. James Greenblatt, MD+
Mainstream models often fail to address mood effectively due to biological factors and biochemical individuality. Functional medicine seeks to identify all mood influencers, including biology, neurochemistry, diet, and lifestyle.
Join Dr. James Greenblatt as he discusses functional medicine for mood and explores two key interventions: amino acids and OPCs. Attendees will gain clinical, evidence-based recommendations to enhance their therapeutic toolkit.

- Understand amino acids' roles in enzyme and neurotransmitter production
- Explain how amino acids support brain function, digestion, and mood‡
