Why Nutrition is the Missing Link?
- The Academy for Addiction & Mental Health Nutrition believes that addictive disorders and cravings, as well as MANY MENTAL-HEALTH ISSUES, are driven by imbalances in the brain that create disabling symptoms, and may block the efficacy of other psychological, social and spiritual treatment approaches. Very many of these imbalances and symptoms can be effectively addressed through nutritional interventions available to all, without the need to resort to psychotropic medication. Our mission is to bring this life-saving information to the world.
The Organizers
Academy for Addiction and Mental Health Nutrition
The Academy provides cutting-edge, in-depth, on-line and live education and consultation services for the purpose of thoroughly training mental health and addiction treatment professionals and volunteers in the skills necessary to identify and effectively address the biochemical aspects of client symptoms through nutrient interventions.
We teach clinicians, treatment providers, and health/recovery coaches how to reduce relapse and improve the quality of recovery by using amino acid and nutrient therapy, along with food and diet, to effectively address the biochemical aspects of addiction and mood/behavioral disorders. Thus, we provide a stable foundation for the recovery journey. We also welcome anyone interested in learning this powerful, life-transforming information.
Eating Protein Saves Lives
Educating both people in recovery and treatment providers that optimally feeding the recovering brain by eating protein throughout the day is crucial to reducing cravings, relapse and overdose deaths, as well as to supporting full engagement in a recovery journey.
