Addiction

Addiction is defined as not having control over doing, taking or using something to the point where it could be harmful to you. Addiction is most commonly associated with gamblingdrugsalcohol and smoking, but it’s possible to be addicted to just about anything, including work, solvents, shopping and the internet. As computer and mobile phone use has increased, so too have computer and internet addictions

My focus is nutritional treatments for addiction and effective ways to stop cravings, end addiction and recover energy and a stable mood without needing drugs. I explain how the right combination of nutrients can prevent or end withdrawal symptoms
