Revolutionising mental health care with integrative approaches The Integrative Medicine for Mental Health (IMMH) Conference returns September 11–14, 2025 in San Diego Taking place September 11–14, 2025 at the award-winning Town and Country Resort in San Diego, California, this four-day, in-person event (virtual tickets also available) brings together over 1000 globally recognized experts, as well as seasoned and beginning practitioners in integrative mental health and functional medicine psychiatry to transform mental health care. The way mental health is currently diagnosed and treated falls short of the need, and the stakes are high. According to the World Health Organization, 1 in every 8 people in the world live with a mental disorder whether that’s anxiety, depression, insomnia, poor concentration, poor memory, attention disorders, brain fog, as well as severe conditions such as suicidality and psychosis. IMMH addresses this urgent need by going beyond symptom management to treat the root causes of mental illness with personalized, precision approaches. "Having personally experienced the devastating challenges of mental illness and coming from a family history profoundly marked by it, I have made it my mission to bring better mental health care into the mainstream," says Kirkland Newman, IMMH Executive Director. "I believe in a future where mental health is accurately understood and treated based on root causes, and offering personalised, precision solutions. At IMMH, we aim to provide education and resources to those suffering from mental health issues, their friends and families and health practitioners.” MDs, DOs, nurse practitioners, psychotherapists, psychologists, nutritionists, naturopaths, chiropractors, social workers, and even a few passionate laypeople will gather to learn the latest in integrative mental health and functional medicine psychiatry. The program will highlight best clinical practices and new research addressing the biochemical, psycho-spiritual, and lifestyle factors that shape mental health. Leading researchers, clinicians, and practitioners in the field will share their expertise. This year’s theme, The Anthropogenic Drivers of Mental Health, will examine how human behaviors, societal structures and environmental influences impact mental wellbeing – and how integrative medicine can heal the individual, the community and the planet. Conference highlights include: Interactive sessions from leaders in the field on a host of cutting-edge and timely topics such as the gut-brain-immune connection, psychoneuroimmunology, metabolic, mitochondrial and nutritional psychiatry, psychedelics and spirituality, circadian rhythms, environmental toxicity, infections and the brain, genomics, hormones, trauma, and neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders (and more). A focus on mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, addiction and dementia – with actionable, whole-person strategies for care. Networking opportunities, immersive workshops and exclusive events designed to connect attendees with one another and with leading voices in the industry. CE/CME accreditation Exposure to the latest labs, supplements, clinics and therapies from leading healthcare exhibitors Confirmed expert speakers include (in alphabetical order): Susi Amendola, Dr. Matt Bernstein, Dr. Dale Bredesen, Dr. Anna Cabeca, Dr. Nicole Cain, Dr. Eboni Cornish, Dr. Alexis Cowan, Dr. Don Grant, Dr. Nicholas Demetry, Dr. Rick Doblin, Dr. Felice Gersh, Everest Goldstein, Dr. James Greenblatt, Dr. Erika Gray, Ashok Gupta, Dr. Sharon Hausman-Cohen, Dr. Richard Horowitz, Dr. Leslie Korn, Dr. Olivia Ly Lesslar, Dr. Robert Lustig, Dr. Gabor Maté, Julie Matthews, Dr. Emeran Mayer, Patrick McKeown, Dr. Neil Nathan, Dr. Barbara Nosal, Karen Olsen, Dr. Austin Perlmutter, Dr. Joseph Pizzorno, Dr. Arwen Podesta, Dr. Noshene Ranjbar, Dr. Bob Rountree, Dr. Heather Sandison, Dr. William Shaw, Dr. Achina Stein, Dr. Kat Toups, Dr. Will Van Derveer, Christina Veselak, JJ Virgin, and William J.

“Stars, Cars & Guitars” Display Reflects Surfing’s Ascendance as Cultural Touchstone Our “Stars, Cars and Guitars” exhibit demonstrates how, in less than a decade, from the years from 1958 to 1965, surfing related elements came to dominate popular culture forming a lasting effect on California, America and the world at large. From iconic record albums, period surfboards, fashion artifacts, seminal photographic images and memorabilia, visitors will get a clearer sense of why this era is considered the “golden age” of surfing and the surfing lifestyle. This exhibit presents modern surfing’s formative period and is a remembrance of modern surfing’s dawn. It had a defining influence on California’s image and an indelible effect on global culture that is just beginning to be recognized in recent years. From the film Gidget in 1959 to Dick Dales “Let’s Go Trippin’” in 1961 through the “Endless Summer” documentary in 1964, the surf craze had ignited from a swell to a full Tsunami with the peak in 1965 In 1966 boards went short, hair went long, and a golden era evolved into surfing’s next phase. Almost overnight 1967’s Summer of Love and flower power were in full bloom. There is only a very short time left to see this rare and special exhibit. It is open now through Labor and day and then it is being taken down. O it is gone it is gone.
