Opioid use disorders sharply increased during the early 21st century, contributing to the growing public health crisis referred to as the U.S. Opioid Epidemic. Originally designed for medical use, fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, largely contributes to the number of opioid-related deaths in the U.S. and is now a major part of the illicit drug market. Because fentanyl was originally produced for analgesic and anesthetic purposes, it has a very high potency, which poses a higher risk for overdose. Individuals who develop fentanyl dependencies and addictions can seek treatment through behavioral therapies and counseling or addition medications designed for opioid dependencies.

INSTITUTE FOR NATURAL RESOURCES

This INR webinar, "Power of Intentional Movement," explores evidence-based strategies for applying mindful and intentional movement principles to exercise and physical activity to maintain or improve health. Health care professionals will learn how to integrate intentional movement to support physical function, emotional regulation, fall prevention, and cognitive resilience in patients across all age groups and different clinical settings. Mr. Kent Howard will introduce a wide variety of intentional movement exercises, including Tai Chi, chair yoga, mindful walking, and breath-centered flow activities that are adapted for varying levels of mobility, cognition, and ability. Studies show that increased daily physical activity and targeted intention-based exercise routines could be, depending on the situation, as effective or more effective than medications, and far safer. Exercise programs may also be tailored for patients and clients who are unable to walk or have other physical challenges. For example, multicomponent chair-based interventions can improve motor functions and cognition in nonambulatory patients. Health care professionals may also find these exercises helpful for self-care as well, to help reduce burnout and manage stress for better work-life balance.

Nutritional Psychology: Bridging Brain, Body, and Behavior is a 2-hour online continuing education (CE/CEU) course that explores the relationship between food and mood, and how lifestyle factors influence mental health outcomes. Nutritional psychology is an emerging interdisciplinary field that examines the dynamic relationship between dietary patterns, nutrient status, and mental health outcomes. This course introduces the foundational principles of nutritional psychology, emphasizing the bidirectional relationship between nutrition, neurobiology, and psychological functioning. Historically, mental health care has focused primarily on psychotherapy and pharmacologic interventions; however, growing evidence demonstrates that diet quality, nutrient availability, gut microbiota, and metabolic health significantly influence mood regulation, cognitive function, and stress resilience. Key biological mechanisms underlying this relationship include neurotransmitter synthesis, immune signaling, endocrine regulation through the hypothalmic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and communication along the microbiota-gut-brain axis. Current research highlights several nutritional factors associated with mental health outcomes, including whole-diet interventions such as Mediterranean-style dietary patterns, omega-3 fatty acids, micronutrient sufficiency, and the impact of ultra-processed food consumption. Additionally, hormonal balance, macronutrient distribution, and micronutrient cofactors play critical roles in the synthesis and regulation of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, acetylcholine, glutamate, and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Chronic stress, inflammation, gut dysbiosis, and trauma-related dysregulation of the HPA axis further complicate the relationship between diet and psychological well-being. Through a biopsychosocial lens, this course also explores how lifestyle factors - including sleep, movement, hydration, and social connection - interact with nutrition to influence mental health outcomes. Clinical case studies illustrate how chronic trauma, dietary insufficiency, medication use, and physiological dysregulation converge to affect both psychological and physical health. Collectively, the evidence supports integrating nutritional assessment and intervention into mental health care as an adjunctive, individualized approach. Nutritional psychology therefore offers a promising framework for bridging brain, body, and behavior while expanding collaborative care models aimed at improving both mental and physical health outcomes.
