Picture
William J. Walsh, PhD, FACN, is president of the non-profit Walsh Research Institute near Chicago (USA) and directs physician and practitioner-training programs internationally including in the United States, Australia, Ireland and Norway.  Over 600 physicians and medical practitioners have attended a Walsh Research Institute Workshop.  

​An internationally recognized expert on biochemical imbalances, Dr. Walsh has devoted nearly 40 years to researching the biochemistry behind behavior, learning and memory, mental health and various disease conditions.  He developed science-based, advanced nutrient therapies that have helped thousands of patients challenged by behavioral disorders, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, ADHD, autism, and Alzheimer’s disease, and are used by doctors throughout the world.
Dr. Walsh’s approach recognizes that nutrient imbalances can alter brain levels of key neurotransmitters, disrupt gene expression of proteins and enzymes, and cripple the body’s protection against environmental toxins.  His book, Nutrient Power (Skyhorse Publishing, 2014, 2012), describes his findings and the advanced nutrient therapies which correct biochemical imbalances that are causing learning, behavioral, developmental and mental health issues.

Dr. Walsh has authored numerous scientific articles and reports and has five patents.  He has presented his experimental research at the American Psychiatric Association, the U.S. Senate, the National Institute of Mental Health, and has been a speaker at 30 international conferences.  His early work included a twelve-year collaboration with the renowned (late) Carl C. Pfeiffer, MD, PhD of Princeton, NJ (USA).
