BBH Training Approach
Precision Medicine for Mental Health:
Demonstrating the use of biochemical and biomarker measures for improved patient outcomes
BBH is an intensive syllabus for Medical Doctors, providing a valuable, additional quantitative tool to support their patients. Coordination of clinical evaluation processes, with the sequential measurement of biochemistry and biomarkers, enables doctors to individualise current mental health treatment options for their patients.
The training program incorporates self-paced pre-recorded lectures and case studies with interactive sessions. Practitioners experienced in the Bio Balance Health/Walsh program present patient case studies, allowing you to see and learn, in real-time, the evaluation and diagnosis of patients with mental health and behavioural disorders and individualised application of the techniques.
Due to improved patient outcomes, Bio Balance Health trained doctors find they become fully booked with long waiting lists due to patient demand.
Doctors who have completed the training program, can register for Returning Doctor events scheduled regularly throughout the year.
To advance their application of this knowledge Returning doctors can register for specialist lectures, ASD lecture series, and patient assessment events presented by academics, international consultants and experienced Australian doctors.
Training programs for Compounding Pharmacists, and Health Practitioners (coming soon) further complement the programs offered, ensuring those working with Bio Balance Health trained doctors have an understanding of the Bio Balance Health techniques for the benefit of the patient.
The online public lecture series complements the suite of BBH programs, providing information to the general public, and patients seeking resources in this area.

Medical Doctor Training Program
The hallmarks of the training will be supported with scientific references and case histories selected to demonstrate a wide range of clinical presentations to demonstrate how to differential diagnose and manage.
Prior to the training, each doctor is provided with pre-reading and learning materials. New Doctors must complete evaluations prior to progressing to the next module. Each doctor has the opportunity to participate with world-class experts in the evaluation of patients diagnosed with behavioural disorders, ADHD, clinical depression, postpartum depression, bipolar, schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders. Doctors attend real-time patient assessments as part of the training program, where a panel of experienced doctors consult to the patient’s Australian doctor.
Australian Faculty
The Australian faculty now leads the Doctor Training Program and includes experienced Bio Balance Health trained Doctors and invited guest presenters to enable you to confidently evaluate laboratory testing, diagnose biochemical imbalances and equip you to design effective, individualised management for your patients. Ongoing mentoring and support is available to New Doctor attendees from experienced Bio Balance Health Alumni Doctors. Returning Doctors are asked to assist in the recruitment of patients for assessment.

Patient Assessment Events
Patients attend a one-hour consultation with their Bio Balance Health Doctor, with a trained doctor acting as consultant to the patient’s doctor. The program is designed to help patients to be assessed to further enhance, or fast track, their health goals, and at the same time, form case studies as a key learning tool for observing doctors.
Patients and Families have reported that understanding measures which tell them what is happening in their body and nutritional treatment to adjust their biochemical imbalances have produced significant improvements in:
• Depression
• Anxiety
• OCD
• ADD, ADHD and behavioural disorders
• Post- Nata Depression
• Schizophrenia
• Bipolar Disorder
• Autism Spectrum Disorder
The following steps are required to register and to be eligible for selection as a case study for the Patient Assessment Program.
Step 1: Contact Bio Balance Health to register and pay for a 1 hour assessment.
Step 2: Visit your Australian Bio Balance Health Doctor for a formal review and to obtain all the required pathology forms for required tests. (If a patient does not have a Bio Balance Doctor, the Event Coordinator may be able to assist in sourcing one for this consultation).
Step 3: The patient must have all pathology testing completed at least one month prior to their assessment to allow time for the lab results to be received by their doctors.
Step 4: A detailed health history questionnaire must be completed and returned one month prior to the assessment.
