ABOUT CHRISTINA SIMONSEN VESELAK
I excited to announce our 2025 historic summit, Feed the Recovering Brain, was very successful. Sign up for the exciting 2026 conferenceto help you all more effectively reduce relapse in your clients and keep them from leaving treatment AMA. Check us out at Christina Veselak, MS, LMFT, CN, is passionate about reducing relapse rates and overdose deaths in people recovering from substance use disorders by using targeted nutrition to address the biochemistry of addiction and recovery. With 40 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and mental health nutritionist in the addiction treatment field, she brings an unparalleled breadth of knowledge and a wealth of compassion and expertise. She has also experienced her own journey of healing from the pain of growing up in an alcoholic home, and herself has used a variety of nutritional and trauma healing tools to transform decades of depression and anxiety into joy and peace.As one of the few people in the country who understands how feeding the brain with the nutrients it needs to repair itself and function optimally provides people with a much-needed foundation to be successful in their recovery journey, she has positively impacted the world of treatment and recovery through her online school for professionals, The Academy for Addiction and Mental Health Nutrition, her non-profit organization, Eating Protein Saves Lives, Inc. and her best selling book, EAT! A guide to Radiant Recovedry Using Food and Amino Acids to Repair the Addicted Brain and Reduce Cravings. Her foundational message is that medication is not the only option available to address the complex biochemistry of addiction and mood disorders. Along with healing from trauma and building community connection, people in recovery (like children in school) also need a well-fed and functioning brain and body to fuel their efforts. Evidence-based research has been done since the \'60s but has been buried.Christina Veselak is a dynamic public speaker with an enthusiastic following. Christina is committed to staying abreast of the rapidly growing science of orthomolecular & nutritional psychiatry and is passionate about sharing her knowledge with both the general public and professionals in the fields of addiction recovery and mental health treatment. She believes that the time has come for brain nutrition to become part of the conversation! Her vision as a global changemaker is to make this life-saving information available to all people, from a kitchen in a mud-house in Africa to the White House.
