Melissa Petersen is an attorney with more than 26 years of experience, founder of The Becoming Method, creator and host of the Built, Not Burnt Out podcast, health coach, longtime group fitness instructor, Certified Food Addiction Advocate through the Addiction Reset Community (ARC), and a proud mom of 10. Her legal career began in 2000, and she owns Petersen Law Firm, LLC, practicing in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa. After years of chronic stress, food addiction, inflammation, digestive issues, joint pain, and other health challenges, Melissa credits real food, a carnivore lifestyle, faith, and a deeper understanding of nutrition and behavior with transforming her health and relationship with food. That experience led her to study nutrition, neuroscience, metabolism, food addiction recovery, behavior change, and peer-guided Internal Family Systems work. Through The Becoming Method, Melissa helps people move beyond shame and willpower by understanding the biological, emotional, and environmental forces that influence eating and health. Her work brings together food addiction recovery, mindset, stress management, emotional health, and practical behavior change with a central message: lasting transformation begins with understanding why we struggle and learning how to work with the body and brain rather than against them.
