Electrolytes: Your Secret Weapon in Recovery
Your electrolytes: now you hear about electrolytes mainly in sports commercials or anywhere you are working out. Simply, these are the minerals that become particles in your blood that carry a positive or negative electrical charge, called ions.
Ever thought about how a pinch of salt could change your recovery journey? In this episode of the 365 Life Recovery Group Podcast, host GTV Mansfeld dives into the often-overlooked role of electrolytes, particularly sodium, in your overall health. These tiny charged particles in your blood and body fluids are more crucial than you might think. They help regulate water retention, which can impact everything from weight loss to heart health.
Too much or too little sodium can lead to issues like high blood pressure and other heart conditions, but finding the right balance can be a game-changer. Mansfeld breaks down the science in an easy-to-understand way, making complex topics accessible for everyone. Alongside nutritional recovery, she touches on six other wellness areas—physical, fiscal, vocational, spiritual, emotional, and social—that are key to a holistic approach to overcoming alcohol-related health issues.
With personal stories and practical tips, this episode is a treasure trove of information for anyone on the path to sobriety. Whether you're just starting out or looking to deepen your understanding, Mansfeld's non-biased, scientific approach offers real-life applications that inspire and educate. Tune in and discover how something as simple as managing your electrolytes can make a big difference in your recovery journey.
