My sobriety kind of sucked until I started eating better.
In this episode of the Sobertown Podcast, Kevin Beaufrand from KNOWMERGE dives into the transformative role of nutrition in addiction recovery. Kevin shares his personal journey from battling alcoholism to thriving in sobriety, thanks to a shift in his diet. He introduces the Soberflex system and its foundational 'KNOW Nutrition' framework, which focuses on understanding and implementing optimal dietary choices to support recovery and overall well-being.
Kevin explains how processed foods can trigger cravings similar to addictive substances and emphasises the importance of viewing food as nourishment rather than entertainment. He also discusses the concept of fat adaptation, where eliminating sugar helps the body learn to use fat for fuel, reducing cravings and improving health. By reintroducing good carbohydrates strategically, individuals can achieve metabolic flexibility, balancing the use of both fat and sugar for energy.
Kevin encourages listeners to adopt an evolutionary consistent diet, mirroring the eating habits of our hunter-gatherer ancestors. He highlights the importance of a holistic approach to health, integrating nutrition with mindset, movement, and stress regulation. This episode is packed with practical advice and personal reflections, making it a must-listen for anyone on a journey to sobriety or looking to improve their health through better nutrition.
