BBH Training Programs for Medical & Health Professionals
Teaching the biochemistry of mental health
Psychiatry is different from other medical fields in that diagnosis and treatment are based on mental health symptoms, rather than testing the biochemical physiology of the patient. Treatment reviews are based on a change in patient symptoms. This excludes the biochemical and physiological changes associated with mental health symptoms.
Bio Balance Health trains health professionals worldwide, including medical doctors and specialists, health practitioners, and pharmacists, to use specific pathology tests to identify biochemical imbalances commonly associated with mental health symptoms. Addressing these underlying biochemical imbalances can help patients return to optimal health.

Essential Biochemistry of Mental Health™
This online course is an intensive syllabus providing a valuable, additional quantitative tool to support their patients. Coordination of objective measures used in conjunction with clinical evaluation processes enables medical doctors and health practitioners to individualise current mental health treatment options for their patients. Sequential measurement determines treatment response enabling refinement of patient treatment plans.
The courses includes self-paced learning modules with pre-recorded lectures and downloadable manuals. Content is supported with scientific references and clinical presentations that allow you to see and learn, the evaluation and treatment of patients with mental health and behavioural symptoms. The syllabus is reviewed to meet Australian regulatory standards; please check with your national regulators to ensure compliance outside Australia.
What You Will Learn
- Use of biochemical and biomarker measures related to mental health
- Knowledge of key nutrients and imbalances associated with mental health symptoms

“The material I was taught by completing the BBH training was life changing. I would never have imagined that mental illness was related to biochemistry in that way. I am so pleased to be able to offer my patients something so valuable and to see positive outcomes.”
