Virtual Workshop: Precision Genomics for Better Mental Health: ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, OCD, PANDAS, ASD and more.
Overview
Join a group of amazing precision medicine brain health thought leaders including well-known authors James Greenblatt MD, Jennifer Kraker, MD, and Nancy O’Hara MD along with other expert level IntellxxDNA clinicians, for a two-day interactive virtual workshop designed to help clinicians integrate genomics deeper into their practice and turn insights into action. This program is ideal for those who have ordered at least one IntellxxDNA® report and are ready to expand their confidence in applying genomics to real-world patient care.
Through case-based learning and practical demonstrations, our expert speakers will guide you in:
- Understanding the role of different kinds of inflammation including mast cell activation in mental health conditions
- Develop insights into a wide variety of genomic factors contributing to OCD, anxiety and treatment- resistant depression, and how to address them with specificity.
- Exploring genomics of ADHD, PANDAS/PANS, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and understand how to respond to these genomic clues.
- Learning how to map SNPs into a structured, actionable clinical plan using our new software platform

Saturday January 24, 2026
10:30 AM – 11:30 AM
Vitamins, Minerals, & More by Emily Gutierrez, DNP, CPNP, CCN
This talk will focus on key nutrients for mental health and the genomics that support them. Understanding how an individual’s genes can contribute to choline deficiency and cognitive difficulties, how B12 genes affect frailty, neuropathy and ASD, how genes can create increased needs for folinic acid, riboflavin, zinc, magnesium and more and how these variants relate to both mental health and pediatrics.
11:30 AM – 12:30 PM
Behind the Headlines: Who gets toxic from Tylenol, pesticides, mercury, glyphosates and more? Sharon Hausman-Cohen, MD
This talk will look at genomic Susceptibility to toxicants and the environment as triggered by detox and oxidative stress pathways and will also tie in how detox pathways and oxidative stress relate to mental health and pediatric and overall wellness.
12:45 PM – 1:45 PM
Unraveling Inflammatory Diversity: Matching Inflammatory Pathways to the Right Intervention. Sharon Hausman-Cohen, MD
There are lots of different types of inflammation that can affect the brain – TNFa which causes leaky BBB, CCL2 which triggers tissue destruction, mast cell type inflammation, IL1B and more. This talk will help clarify how different inflammatory gene pathways work, how they relate to brain health and more importantly how to respond to them with specificity.
1:50 PM – 2:50 PM
Demystifying PANS/PANDAS: How Do Genomics Contribute to Risk? Nancy O’Hara MD
Dr. Nancy O’Hara will deepen your understanding of PANDAS/ PANS and the gene variants that contribute to PANS/PANDAS risk.
2:50 PM – 3:50 PM
Level 1 Autism: Turning Insight into Action for Everyday Clinical Practice. You can do it! Emily Gutierrez, DNP, CPNP, CCN
Perhaps you have shied away from treating children with ASD feeling that you don’t have enough specialized training in the area? This talk will help you realize that genomics is the map that you need in order to get started helping these kids and get results! Emily Gutierrez who has treated many hundreds of children with genomically guided care will show you how.
Sunday January 25, 2026
10:30 AM – 11:30 AM
Genomic Insights Into Treatment-Resistant Depression: Jennifer Kraker, MD
There are so many contributing factors to depression ranging from serotonin dysregulation to endocannabinoid and cortisol pathways. People who don’t respond to SSRIs are often labeled treatment-resistant depression- but they really just have depression due to a different cause that will respond perfectly to treatment if you just choose the right treatment!
11:30 AM – 12:30 PM
OCD What Really Causes It? James Greenblatt, MD
OCD has many different components including serotonin and glutamate dysregulation, infectious/ immune components and even mitochondrial components that trigger rumination. This talk will tie together the genomics of OCD and supplements and other interventions so you can use these tools with knowledge and specificity.
12:45 PM – 1:45 PM
ADHD Case Study Learning
Brain connectivity, dopamine dysregulation and auditory processing and how these things relate to ADHD will all be illustrated using mini-cases with genomic insights and genomically targeted interventions. We will even highlight one case where medications made sense based on the patient’s genomics and one where avoiding them made even more sense!
1:50 PM – 2:50 PM
Genomics in Action: A case of Anxiety – Building and Giving a Genomic Consult Using our Action Plan Tool. Biljana Mitanoska
Knowing how to use our action plan builder to click and plan will help you prepare a genomically targeted consult in no time -complete with a list of targeted diet, supplements, lifestyle changes and sometimes medications. In this session Biljana, our genomic educator will take you through a case of a patient with significant anxiety and create a consult that is ready to deliver.
2:50 PM – 3:50 PM
