Lori Germain

Lori Lynn Germain is a recovered alcoholic, Recovery Nutrition Coach, Spiritual Life Coach, educator, and founder of Missing Link Recovery Solutions™. Her work bridges neuroscience, nutrition, genetics, and spirituality, helping individuals and families heal the biological roots of addiction and mental health suffering.

After nearly three decades sober—yet still battling depression, anxiety, cravings, and chronic pain—Lori discovered what mainstream recovery often overlooks: sobriety alone doesn’t always repair the brain. Until brain biochemistry and the body are stabilized, many people cannot fully grasp or access the tools of recovery—which helps explain why chronic relapse has become epidemic, with devastating costs to individuals, families, and society.

Lori is the author of Born Addict: Chasing Normal — Into the Abyss of Alcoholism, a science-informed teaching memoir that begins where most recovery stories end—after sobriety—and asks the harder question: Why do so many people continue to suffer, relapse, or feel unwell even while doing everything they’re told?

Her work carries forward the legacy of pioneers who believed addiction was an illness of mind, body, and spirit—echoing the wisdom of Carl Jung, the spiritual foundations of 12-Step recovery, and the biological research of innovators such as Bill Wilson, Dr. Abram Hoffer, and modern psychiatric genetics researcher Dr. Kenneth Blum—bringing science and compassion together to help end addiction for generations to come.
