Academy for Addiction & Mental Health Nutrition
The Academy for Addiction & Mental Health Nutrition believes that all addictive disorders, as well as MANY MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, are driven by nutrient and neurotransmitter imbalances in the brain that can often be successfully addressed without the need for psychotropic medication.
A stable, well-functioning, and well-nourished brain is required for clients to effectively address the emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual issues, which impact their lives and need to be worked through for a successful recovery.
We teach clinicians, treatment providers and health/recovery coaches how to reduce cravings and recurrent use, and improve the quality of recovery by using amino acid and nutrient therapy, along with diet to effectively address many biochemical aspects of addictive and mood/behavioral disorders.
- Evidence-Informed Approach
- Certified Professional Training

EAT! A Guide to Radiant Recovery Using Food and Amino Acids to Repair the Addicted Brain and Reduce Cravings
Fuel Your Brain, Transform Your Recovery
Cravings, mood swings, and relapse don’t happen in isolation—they’re deeply connected to what’s happening in your brain. EAT! is your step-by-step guide to using food and supplements to repair the addicted brain, reduce cravings, and support lasting recovery.
