Full Program

Module 1 | Neuroscience of Hunger and the Desire to Eat (9:00–10:15 AM)

• Physical vs. emotional hunger: how the brain differentiates
• Hypothalamus, amygdala, prefrontal cortex, and food control
• Reward circuits: dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine
• The role of memory, pleasure, and habits in compulsive eating

Objective: Understand why the patient eats even without hunger — and how to “deprogram” this pattern.

Module 2 | Brain-Gut Axis: the gut that thinks and gains weight (10:30 AM–12:00 PM)

• How the gut communicates with the brain and regulates appetite
• Dysbiosis, inflammation, and sugar cravings
• Serotonin, GABA, and neuroinflammation
• The gut as a neurotransmitter factory

Objective: Show that the key to eating behavior lies not only in the mind, but also in the gut.

Module 3 | NeuroSupplementation: scientific basis and clinical applications (1:00–2:15 PM)

• Nutrients that influence the brain and eating behavior
• Tryptophan, magnesium, GABA, zinc, adaptogens, polyphenols
• Anti-inflammatory strategies and support for the anxious brain
• How to build a brain-gut support protocol for weight loss

Objective: Provide scientific and practical foundations so professionals can use functional supplementation with purpose.

Module 4 | Neurobehavioral Eating Patterns (2:30–4:00 PM)

• Most common patterns: grazer, emotional, compensatory, binge eater
• How to map eating behavior during consultations
• Relationship between neurotransmitters and eating patterns
• Practical strategies to effectively modulate behavioral patterns

Objective: Teach how to assess the patient beyond the diet and personalize the approach for better results.

• How to use neuroscience to attract and retain patients
• Positioning and professional authority backed by science
• How to communicate clearly and attract the “I’ve tried everything” patient
• Simple clinical tools and routines that generate perceived value

Objective: Turn scientific knowledge into a competitive edge to grow with ethics and purpose.
