The Top Brain Foods for Recovery
Omega-3s, antioxidants, and the specific nutrients your brain needs to rebuild after addiction or mental health challenges.
Feed Your Starving Brain.
Your brain is hungry. Real food, protein, and amino acid therapy can help restore what's been depleted -- supporting recovery from addiction, mental health challenges, and post-workout healing.
Why I do this
I've been in recovery. I've cooked in recovery kitchens. I've lost people I love.
I'm a recovery nutrition chef, a former Health & Physical Education teacher, and a former personal trainer who's experienced bodybuilding in all the wrong ways. I've worked in addiction recovery facilities, walked my own path through alcohol use disorder and other substances, and lost people I loved to addiction and suicide. Those experiences didn't just shape my life—they shaped my purpose. Today, I use food, protein, and amino acid science to help people nourish their brains, support their recovery, and find their way back to themselves.

Who I help
Recovery looks different for everyone. The brain still needs the right nutrients.
Addiction & Substance Recovery
Cravings, mood swings, and exhaustion aren't just about willpower. Your brain may be depleted of the nutrients it needs to produce healthy neurotransmitters. Targeted nutrition and amino acid therapy can help support the recovery process.
Mental Health Support
Your brain depends on amino acids, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals to produce the neurotransmitters that influence mood, focus, and resilience. Nutrition can be a powerful part of supporting mental wellness.
Workout & Muscle Recovery
Training breaks the body down. Recovery is when it rebuilds. Protein, essential amino acids, and anti-inflammatory foods help support muscle repair, reduce soreness, and prepare your body for the next workout.
