In this episode of Power Up Recovery with Nutrition, Christina Veselak sits down with John Mekrut, Founder of the The Balanced Brain Neurofeedback Training Center in Los Angeles.

John explains how neurofeedback trains the brain to observe its own patterns, improve self-regulation, and develop more efficient ways of functioning. Rather than being something done to you, neurofeedback is a training process that helps the brain learn how to better regulate itself.

Together, they discuss:

• What neurofeedback is and how brain training works

• How brain dysregulation may influence cravings, anxiety, sleep, and focus

• Why alcohol, ni****ne, sugar, gambling, and other behaviors can become ways the brain tries to regulate stress

• The connection between neurofeedback and addiction recovery

• Why ADHD, trauma, PTSD, and traumatic brain injury can create additional challenges in recovery

• How amino acids and nutrition support neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin

• Why sleep, hydration, nutrition, and lifestyle are essential for brain health

• Why neurofeedback is not a “magic bullet” and works best as part of a whole-person approach to recovery

This conversation is a powerful reminder that the brain can learn, adapt, and change. By combining brain training with proper nutrition, restorative sleep, and other forms of support, we may be able to create a stronger foundation for self-regulation and long-term recovery.

Could low NAD⁺ levels be affecting your brain, energy, and recovery?

In this episode of Power Up Recovery with Nutrition, Christina Veselak sits down with Jin-Xiong She, PhD, Professor, a leading geneticist, biomedical researcher, and Founder and CEO of Jinfiniti Precision Medicine.

Dr. She explains why NAD⁺ is essential for cellular energy, mitochondrial function, brain health, and healthy aging, and why our levels may become suboptimal as we age or experience increased inflammation and cellular stress.

Together, they discuss:
• Why NAD⁺ is critical for producing cellular energy
• The connection between mitochondria, brain function, and mental health
• How inflammation can contribute to NAD⁺ depletion
• The role of NAD⁺ in alcohol metabolism and recovery
• NAD IV therapy versus oral NAD⁺ precursors
• Niacin, NMN, NR, and other ways to support NAD⁺ levels
• Why testing and personalized supplementation matter

This conversation is a powerful reminder that recovery and brain health begin at the cellular level. Supporting mitochondrial function and cellular energy may be an important part of building a stronger foundation for long-term health and recovery.
