Jeff Jones, MA, LPC, CRNC, is a licensed professional who combines years of clinical expertise with his own personal experience navigating family addiction. He rejects traditional approaches that shame families for "enabling," choosing instead to honor their love and concern. By integrating family engagement strategies with advanced mental health nutrition, Jeff addresses the critical factors—both biological and relational—that many standard treatments often overlook.

Driven by his own upbringing, Jeff is passionate about "flipping the script" for families who feel judged or labeled by the medical community. He provides research-backed tools and resources that empower families to become a strategic part of the recovery solution. As a frequent podcast guest and speaker for treatment centers, he focuses on improving brain function through nutrition and helping families move from isolation to effective action.



Hosted by Joanie Sigal, The Addiction Podcast-Point of No Return is a raw and necessary conversation about substance use and the path out of it. This isn't a clinical lecture, but a collection of real voices from the heart of the crisis. You'll hear from people who have lived through addiction to opioids, heroin, cocaine, prescription drugs, and fentanyl, sharing their journeys from dependence to recovery. The podcast also makes space for the families and loved ones whose lives are intertwined with this struggle, offering their perspectives on the chaos, the repeated attempts at rehab, and the strategies that finally made a difference. Each episode tackles the complex societal and personal issues surrounding addiction, all while grounding the discussion in tangible hope and practical recovery options. By focusing on these firsthand accounts, Joanie creates a podcast that serves as both a lifeline and a roadmap for anyone touched by this challenge-whether you're seeking help for yourself or striving to understand how to support someone else. Tune in for stories that don't shy away from the darkness but consistently point toward the light of resilience and regained control.
