Paleo Power: How a Primal Diet Supports Addiction Recovery

Stopping substance abuse is not about willpower and, on the contrary, it's about surrendering to the idea that we are indeed powerless over the addiction, very much like your son was when he ate these foods.
Ever thought about how your diet could play a role in addiction recovery? In this engaging episode of 'Sober Conversations', Dr. Herby Bell and Chris Harrison chat with Alison Golden, author of 'The Modern No-Nonsense Guide to Paleo'. Alison, a blogger, coach, and mom, shares her journey of integrating a Paleo lifestyle into her family's routine and the surprising benefits it brought, especially for her son's behavior and mood.
The discussion dives into the parallels between living a sober life and following a Paleo diet, highlighting how both require commitment, resilience, and a focus on long-term health. Dr. Herby and Alison discuss practical strategies for managing stress and building willpower to prevent relapse. They explore the importance of setting boundaries, learning to say no, and getting kids involved in healthy eating habits.
Alison touches on the emotional connection between food and love, emphasizing how a Paleo diet can support emotional well-being and recovery. Listeners will find valuable insights on how adopting a Paleo lifestyle can optimize genetic expression and enhance the chances of long-term sobriety. Whether you're on a recovery journey yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the powerful role of nutrition in healing.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation that blends personal anecdotes with actionable advice.
