Hi. I’m Christina Veselak.
I have worked as a counselor and nutritionist in the addiction field for over 40 years. During that time, I have seen many people relapse and even die, in spite of motivation and extensive treatment.
Why?
Addiction is well-known to be a bio-psycho/social and spiritual disorder. However, traditional treatment, including 12-step programs, ignores the BRAIN as a driver of the addictive processes. They only address the biochemistry of addiction through using more medication to treat symptoms, but meds only tweak the brain – they don’t actually feed the brain what it needs to function optimally and they don’t truly correct the underlying biochemical imbalances.
