Fueling Recovery: Nutrition's Role in Beating Addiction with Kristin Kirkpatrick

A good nutritional diet and addiction recovery go hand-in-hand. People forget that stress and depression mostly start in the brain, in the mind. So a good and healthy diet will help solve some brain inflammation and other negative things.
Can what you eat really help you recover from addiction? Tim Westbrook dives into this fascinating topic with Kristin Kirkpatrick, a senior fellow at Meadows Behavioral Healthcare and a seasoned dietician. In this episode of 'I Love Being Sober', they discuss how a balanced diet can play a crucial role in addiction recovery. Kristin shares her insights on how certain foods can reduce brain inflammation, which often leads to stress and depression.
You'll learn why fish and plant-based foods are essential for your health and how they can support your journey to sobriety. The conversation also highlights the dangers of heavy metal toxicity and the importance of gut health in mental well-being. With practical tips and compassionate advice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the link between nutrition and recovery.
