FREE 6-HOUR LIVE Integrative NUTRITION MASTERCLASS
THURSDAY, MAY 28TH, 2026 @ 10:00 AM ET – 5:30 PM ET
The Cases That Don't Move Aren't Treatment-Resistant - They're Hidden Nutritional Deficiencies Mimicking Depression, Anxiety & ADHD
Free Masterclass With Dr. Vicki Steine, DSc, LCSW, BCHN, IFNCP — Renowned Integrative Nutrition Clinician
Most assessments for depression, anxiety, and ADHD catch the symptoms but miss what is driving them. A client not responding to two evidence-based interventions may have a B12 deficiency, a vitamin D deficit, or a magnesium imbalance, keeping the symptoms locked in place. This Masterclass shows you how to spot it — so the depression starts lifting, the anxiety starts settling, and the ADHD case finally responds to treatment.

Nutrition & Mental Health Masterclass: Hidden Nutritional Deficiencies That Mimic Depression, Anxiety & ADHD
MODULE 1
The Assessment Layer DSM Training Skips
Why standard assessments catch the symptoms but miss what is driving them underneath.
MODULE 2
The Depression That Won't Lift With CBT Or Antidepressants
How omega-3 deficiency drives the neuroinflammation, keeping major depressive disorder from responding to evidence-based treatment.
MODULE 3
The Vitamin D Deficiency Hiding Inside Seasonal Affective Disorder
Why vitamin D deficiency is the most under-screened driver in chronic low-mood presentations, and the lab markers that surface it.
MODULE 4
The B12 Deficiency Producing The Picture Of Major Depression
How fatigue, cognitive fog, and flat affect get treated as depression for months while the B12 deficiency goes unscreened.
MODULE 5
The Magnesium Deficiency Locking Anxiety In Place
Why magnesium deficiency maintains the physiological arousal state CBT is trying to reach in generalized anxiety disorder.
MODULE 6
The Iron Deficiency Producing ADHD-Identical Symptoms
How iron deficiency and ferritin depletion produce attention and working memory symptoms indistinguishable from ADHD.
Learn The Five Deficiency Screens From A Therapist Who Practices At The Intersection Of Mental Health & Clinical Nutrition
Dr. Vicki Steine, DSc, LCSW, BCHN, IFNCP
Dr. Vicki Steine is a licensed clinical social worker who built her clinical specialty after years of watching depression, anxiety, and ADHD cases stall inside standard mental health treatment. She trained in clinical nutrition specifically to close the gap most therapists were never taught existed — the gap between what the assessment captures and what the body is actually doing.
What she brings to the May 28th Masterclass is the framework she built from that intersection: the screening questions, the lab markers, and the clinical decision points that separate a primary psychiatric presentation from a nutritional deficiency producing the same picture. She has trained licensed clinicians on this material for years, and what she covers at the May 28th Masterclass is the complete assessment lens for the cases standard mental health training was never designed to reach.
Here's What Changes When You Catch The Deficiency Before The Diagnosis Sticks
WITH THIS MASTERCLASS:
You catch the deficiency before the treatment plan is built
The depression that wasn't lifting starts moving once the deficiency is named
Depression, anxiety & ADHD presentations rest on a complete picture
Treatment-resistant cases get a screening protocol that drives the next decision
WITHOUT THIS MASTERCLASS:
You keep treating the diagnosis in the file, not the deficiency underneath
The depression case in your caseload right now stays stuck without a clear answer
Treatment plans get built on symptoms without screening for what is driving them
The next ADHD or anxiety case repeats the cycle of the last one
9 CE credits & lifetime replay available For Purchase after registration
Frequently Asked Questions
How many CEs do I receive, and what does it cost?
The Masterclass is completely free to attend live. After registration, you will have the option to upgrade to 9 board-approved CEs plus lifetime recording access for $67 before the Masterclass begins. You can purchase CEs at the next step once you register.
Can I get the recording if I cannot attend live?
Yes. Lifetime recording access is included with the CE upgrade. If you cannot attend May 28th live, the recording gives you everything Dr. Steine covers: every nutritional deficiency framework, every screening question, every assessment decision point — available permanently on your own schedule.
Do I receive CEs just for attending live?
No. CEs are available for purchase in the next step after registration. Attending the live Masterclass is free. The CE upgrade at $67 gives you 9 board-approved CEs plus lifetime recording access.
I primarily work with depression and anxiety. Is this relevant to my practice?
Yes. The nutritional deficiencies covered in this Masterclass are most often missed in routine depression and anxiety presentations — not just complex or treatment-resistant cases. Clients carrying mild-to-moderate symptoms can have B12, vitamin D, or magnesium deficiencies, driving the picture you are treating. This Masterclass gives you the assessment lens to spot it, regardless of the severity of the presentation.
I have attended nutrition-and-mental-health trainings before and found them too theoretical to apply in session. How is this different?
Dr. Steine practices at the intersection of licensed mental health and clinical nutrition every week. Every framework she covers on May 28th is taught with the specific assessment questions, screening tools, and clinical decision points for when to apply it, why it produces a more complete picture than the alternative, and what changes in the treatment plan when it does. You leave with a screening protocol, not a lecture.
Are the CEs board-approved for my license?
Yes. The CEs are board-approved for LCSWs, LPCs, LMFTs, PsyDs, and other licensed mental health professionals. Click View All Board Approvals at the end of this page to confirm your license qualifies.
