About Kelly Miller

Kelly Miller is a Certified Nutrition Therapist Master and Recovery Coach who specializes in nutrition for addiction recovery. She founded the Addiction Nutritionist in 2017, a virtual coaching and consulting practice, after years of struggling with an unhealthy relationship to food and other substances. Her program helps uncover the biochemical root causes of addiction and cravings. She created the PAWS Protocol, a nutritional intervention designed to alleviate the symptoms of Post Acute Withdrawal and address the unique needs of individuals in recovery. Her clients typically experience improved mood, a reduction in cravings and relapse, and overall better quality of life.

She is a regular speaker at alumni groups, community centers and sober living facilities across the U.S. Kelly lives in Parker, Colorado and is currently launching a podcast and Recovery U, a group coaching platform focused on building health, wellness and resilience in Recovery.
