Chris Engen: Using Nutrition to Transform Addiction Recovery

Nourishing myself became like the highest form of self-care, where I felt like I had all these other tools, like mental tools, that I could use to help me. So nutrition became another tool in my toolbox, where the more I learned, the more I wanted to take care of myself, and I didn't want to hurt my body.
Can what you eat really help you stay sober? Chris Engen certainly thinks so. In this eye-opening episode of The Bubble Hour, host Jean McCarthy sits down with Chris, who has turned her own recovery journey into a mission to help others through nutrition. Chris believes that recovery isn't just about quitting substances; it's about embracing a healthier lifestyle in every sense.

The conversation also touches on practical tips like avoiding processed foods and adding more fruits and fiber to your diet.
