Picture this: you've conquered the beast of addiction, but now find yourself reaching for that extra slice of cake or another handful of chips. Is it just a harmless treat, or could it be something more? In this episode, fitness expert Matt Scarfo dives into the surprising connection between food and brain chemistry, especially for those in recovery. Speaking to a group of 80 men at a rehab shelter, Matt moved beyond the usual 'eat this, avoid that' advice.
Instead, he revealed how our brains can hardly tell the difference between the highs from drugs and the rush from certain foods. It's like a sneaky Trojan Horse, tricking the brain into thinking it's getting its old fix. If you're in recovery and still craving that rush, Matt's insights might just change the way you think about your diet. Tune in to understand why making mindful food choices is crucial for true healing.
