Share Your Expertise with Our Community
We’re seeking experienced practitioners and professionals who are actively integrating nutritional strategies into mental health and addiction recovery support. Join us in advancing the future of addiction, mental health nutrition from the inside out.
Our 2025 attendees told us: The most valuable sessions came from practitioners sharing real-world implementation strategies, advanced clinical insights, and practical solutions they’ve developed in their own practices.
What We're Looking For
We welcome submissions from professionals with hands-on experience integrating nutritional approaches into their practice. Our ideal presentations focus on evidence-based strategies that can be immediately applied by fellow practitioners.
Gut Health & Brain Connection
Role of specific gut bacteria (like Clostridia) in mental health and recovery. Lab testing protocols including stool analysis and organic acids testing. Treatment approaches using dietary changes, probiotics, and targeted supplementation.
Advanced Relapse Prevention
Nutritional interventions for clients with co-occurring conditions: ADHD, brain injuries, traumatic stress, genetic predispositions, or sugar addiction. Strategies for overcoming barriers to pro-recovery eating, especially during early recovery phases.
Neurotransmitter Restoration
Amino acid protocols, biochemical testing approaches, and targeted interventions for neurotransmitter balance. Practical implementation strategies that address cravings, mood stability, and cognitive function.
Real-World Integration
How you’ve successfully integrated nutrition into existing programs. Case studies, implementation challenges overcome, client communication strategies, and measurable outcomes from your practice.
Priority Topics
- Prevention strategies using nutritional foundations
- Complex case management involving multiple co-occurring conditions
- Sugar addiction recovery and metabolic considerations
- Environmental toxin impact on recovery and mental health
- Trauma-informed nutritional approaches
- Program integration strategies with measurable outcomes
We especially value: Practitioners currently using these approaches in their daily work, real client case studies (appropriately anonymized), practical implementation guidance, and evidence-based protocols that fellow professionals can adapt to their own practice settings.
