Dr. Greenblatt will also review the role of nutrition in appetite control, particularly focusing on amino acids and how effective application of amino acids as neurotransmitter precursors, vitamin and mineral cofactors, and phytonutrients, allow cooperative support for critical neurotransmitter pathways that influence hunger, satiety, and mood.
