Meet Lori
Certified Recovery Nutrition Coach, Holistic Health Nutritionist & Certified Coach Practitioner
Hi, I’m Lori — and I help people find true, lasting recovery.
My journey didn’t start with addiction — it started in childhood with anxiety, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, and early addictive behaviors. I spent decades searching for peace, purpose, and healing through recovery, health crises, mental illness, and deep spiritual seeking.
Getting sober is only the beginning.
If the brain and body are not repaired, recovery stays painful — and relapse, anxiety, depression, and craving cycles continue maybe not into relapse but switching addictions becomes normal.
Just like so many others, I repeated those cycles — treatment, detox, hospital visits — even while working hard on spiritual and emotional recovery. It wasn’t a lack of effort. It wasn’t weakness. It was my biochemistry.
Over time, I learned something few are ever told:
Through genetics testing, nutritional therapy, amino acids, and brain-based recovery research, I discovered that my brain chemistry and inherited methylation issues were driving my symptoms, emotions, and cravings. That awareness changed everything.
As I healed my brain and body, anxiety eased. My nervous system calmed.
Recovery stopped being a battle — it became freedom.
And that’s when my purpose became clear:
I couldn’t keep this to myself.
No one should suffer in sobriety when science and nutrition can help the brain heal. I learned that I was not alone — even Bill Wilson, co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, suffered severe depression for 10 years after getting sober. Bill explored nutritional and biochemical recovery and found relief, but the world wasn’t ready to embrace that knowledge.
Certifications

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.
This program thoroughly introduces students to the use of amino acids, specific crucial nutrients, and diet in addressing symptoms of neurotransmitter depletion, such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, addiction, cravings, and relapse. The use of vitamin and mineral co-factors, blood sugar regulation, and the 5-Star Pro~Recovery Diet©, all of which are critical to brain function.

Today, here we are.
I’m here to help carry that work forward — with respect, humility, and lived experience. To bridge biochemical repair and spiritual recovery. To help others break the cycles I once lived inside. Because recovery is not meant to be survived — it’s meant to be lived with clarity, peace, and joy.
You are not broken. Your brain just needs to be fed. And once it is, everything becomes possible. Let’s heal together — and build a life you truly love.
