Creating neural pathways, but also actually depleting the brain chemicals that we need to have online for a successful recovery- and that's what my work is all about- is helping people rebuild those particular neurotransmitter reservoirs and stores so that, when we need them, we can pull on them and they're available to us.
Imagine if the key to overcoming addiction lay in what you eat. In this episode of Recovery Innovators Radio, Christina Veselak takes us on a journey through the fascinating world of addiction recovery nutrition. She dives into how brain chemicals influence our mood and behavior and how diet, amino acid therapy, and other nutrients can support a balanced brain. This balanced brain, in turn, can reduce cravings and prevent relapse, making the recovery process smoother.
Christina emphasizes the importance of blood sugar balance and functional medicine, revealing how these elements can rebuild neurotransmitter reservoirs. Whether you're a professional in the field or someone on a personal recovery journey, Christina's practical advice and deep knowledge offer invaluable insights. Tune in to learn how feeding your brain right could be a game-changer in coping with stress and staying on the path to recovery.
