In this inspiring episode of Power Up Recovery with Nutrition, hosted by Christina Veselak sits down with Dr. Shelly Jo Wahlstrom, a hypnotherapist, author, and devoted mother who turned personal pain into a powerful mission to help others heal.
After years of watching her daughter struggle through the cycle of addiction and relapse, Shelly Jo discovered a science backed, brain focused approach to recovery. Through the use of targeted amino acid therapy, nutrition, and hypnotherapy, she found a method that not only supported her daughter's healing but has since helped transform thousands of lives.
In this episode, you'll learn how neurotransmitter imbalances impact mental health and addiction, why nutrition is often the missing link in traditional treatment, and how feeding the brain what it truly needs can create lasting change.
