The Walsh Research Institute’s Mastering Brain Chemistry Online Training Course is aimed at educating practitioners in brain biochemistry, neurotransmission, epigenetics, and clinical challenges in mental, learning and behavioral disorders. The program will include an update on new advances in brain science, the impact of nutrient imbalances on brain levels of key neurotransmitters, and histone-modification techniques to regulate gene expression of proteins and adjust serotonin and dopamine reuptake processes. Treatment protocols include blood/urine testing approaches for identification of biochemical imbalances that can impair brain function, and a review of the latest research on evidence-based approaches for normalizing these factors. The roles of undermethylation, overmethylation, zinc deficiency, copper overload, pyrrole disorder, Vitamin D deficiency and malabsorption in mental illness will be described.
The course schedule is designed to blend self-paced study with video lectures, case studies, interactive quizzes, and a series of LIVE webinar sessions led by William Walsh, PhD, FACN and Malcolm Sickels, MD, ABOIM, ABIHM. Attendees will also have the opportunity to observe actual patient evaluations including in-depth health history, evaluation of blood/urine lab results and diagnosis of chemical imbalances. The overall purpose is to assist practitioners by incorporating advanced natural drug-free therapies into their medical practice.

ABOUT OUR INSTRUCTORS
|
WILLIAM J. WALSH, PhD, FACN
William J. Walsh, PhD, FACN, president of the non-profit Walsh Research Institute, is an internationally recognized expert in abnormal biochemistry associated with impaired brain function and a key scientist paving the way for promising drug-free therapies for patients challenged by mental disorders. Over the past 30 years, Dr. Walsh has developed biochemical treatments for patients diagnosed with behavioral disorders, ADHD, autism, clinical depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s disease that are used by doctors throughout the world. He has designed nutritional programs for Olympic athletes, NBA players, major league baseball players, a heavyweight boxing champion, PGA and LPGA golfers, and others. His book, Nutrient Power: Heal Your Biochemistry and Heal Your Brain, describes his advanced system for normalizing body chemistry imbalances that alter mental function.
Dr. Walsh’s medical accomplishments include: (a) groundbreaking studies reporting reduced violent behavior after normalizing body chemistry, (b) his 1990 discovery that abnormal methylation is a dominant factor in mental illness, (c) severe undermethylation, copper/zinc imbalances and metallothionein protein depletion in autism, (d) the 2007 published study linking copper overload and post-partum depression, (f) identification of five biochemical subtypes of clinical depression, (g) the 2016 discovery of striking epigenetic changes in the schizophrenia population, (h) drug-free epigenetic therapies which can regulate activity of misbehaving neurotransmitters, and (i) the discovery that that bipolar disorder is caused by genetic weakness in ion-channel behavior plus accelerated DNA damage (described in his 2025 book The Essence of Bipolar Disorder). Dr. Walsh has been a speaker at more than 40 international conferences and symposiums. He has presented his scientific research and clinical protocols at major USA venues including the American Psychiatric Association, the Society for Neuroscience, the U.S. Senate, and the National Institutes of Mental Health. He has authored numerous peer-reviewed journal articles and scientific reports, as well as been granted five patents. |
MALCOLM SICKELS, MD, ABOIM, ABIHM
Malcolm Sickels, MD, ABOIM, ABIHM, is a board certified family and holistic medicine physician who uses a variety of modalities in his integrative family practice founded in 2005 in Ann Arbor, MI. For each of his patients, Dr. Sickels draws from a wide range of resources and believes in the value of rigorous scientific inquiry, diagnostic testing, and active listening while applying a skillful blend of evidence-based nutrient interventions and standard medical therapies.
Dr. Sickels began his association with WRI when he attended a WRI Physician Education Workshop in 2014 and found Dr. Walsh's advanced nutrient therapy system to improve the outcomes of his patients with behavior, learning, and mental disorders. As a member of the WRI faculty, he continues to lend his knowledge and wisdom gained from clinical experience by educating physicians during WRI Workshops and being an active leader in the WRI physician online forum. While completing his residency in family medicine at Promedica Flower Hospital in Sylvania, Ohio, he began using nutrients for the treatment of mood disorders. An avid learner and a scientist at heart, Dr. Sickels sets aside time to attend at least four integrative medicine conferences each year to remain at the forefront of holistic medicine. His current interest is in cancer treatment and other epigenetic conditions in addition to his continuing interest in mood disorders. Dr. Sickels is a member of the American College for the Advancement of Medicine, the American College of Integrative Medicine, the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine, the International Organization of Integrative Cancer Physicians and the Academy for IPT. |
Medical Practitioner Testimonials
"Life-changing. I am so appreciative of Dr. Walsh’s experience. Thank you! This was one of the best conferences I have ever attended." – Bette Bischoff, MD, Tulsa, OK
"Thank you, Dr. Walsh, for sharing your years of work illuminating the chemical abnormalities and subsequent effective nutrient therapies for those suffering from mood, learning, and mental disorders. I now have an entire new toolbox from which I can further help my patients." – Kenneth Cartaxo, MD, Morristown, NJ
"It’s been a real eye opener! I’ve learned more here than in medical school and learned it the “right” way. Thanks for this incredible and unique workshop experience!" – Jason Jerabek, DO, Charleston, IL
"This is one of the best educational experiences I have ever attended. The knowledge and experience of the presenters was so valuable.
