You have to act your way into a new way of thinking, and I think when people begin to do that and recognize that the food that they're eating is directly proportionate to the way they're going to feel, it begins to resonate with them.
Ever wondered how much your diet can impact your recovery journey? In this episode of 'What the Food?', host Karen vanBarneveld chats with David Marion, a certified Intervention Professional and Recovery Coach who has transformed his life from ex-con to a beacon of hope for many. David shares his compelling story of overcoming addiction and the pivotal role nutrition played in his recovery. He dives into how poor diets often accompany addiction and the severe nutritional deficiencies that can result.
But it's not just about food; David emphasizes the importance of humility, responsibility, and personalized treatment plans in the path to recovery. With a focus on the unique challenges faced by those in the penal system, he highlights the difficulties of accessing healthy food behind bars and how this impacts recovery. David's journey is not just about personal transformation; he also works with nursing students to spread awareness about the importance of nutrition in mental health and recovery.
His message is clear: what you eat significantly affects how you feel, and a balanced diet can stabilize your mood and energy levels, making the road to recovery smoother. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that sheds light on the often-overlooked link between diet and addiction recovery, and learn how community support and personalized care can make all the difference.
