Revolutionary Mental Health | Nutrition for Addiction Recovery with Christina Veselak

Debbie Nelson welcomes Christina Veselak, founder of the Academy for Addiction and Mental Health Nutrition, for a conversation about how brain nutrition supports recovery. Christina shares her personal journey through biochemical depression and the discovery that nutrition was a missing piece in mental health treatment. They discuss the mechanics of cravings, sugar-switching in early recovery, why eating protein every four hours matters for sobriety, how amino acids can address cravings, and why conventional medical ranges miss physiological issues that affect mental health. Christina talks about her two-level certification program, her nonprofit Eating Protein Saves Lives, the annual Feed the Recovery Brain Summit, and weekly Feeding Recovery Network meetings. Revolutionary Mental Health is hosted by Debbie Nelson and showcases individuals changing lives in mental health and addiction. The show airs live weekly and can be watched free at humankind.center.
