For alcohol, for sure, you know how many people have told me that they started drinking because they couldn't sleep.
Ever wondered how quitting alcohol can truly transform your life? In this episode of Tribe Sober, host Janet welcomes Dr. Dawn Bantel, a seasoned naturopathic doctor, to share her wealth of knowledge on the journey to recovery. Dr. Bantel, with her extensive experience in helping people overcome addiction, dives into the crucial aspects of healing after giving up alcohol.
She reveals some eye-opening facts, like how even a few glasses of wine a week can increase a woman's risk of breast cancer. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Dr. Bantel also tackles the tricky relationship between alcohol and anxiety. While it might seem like a quick fix to calm your nerves, alcohol often ends up exacerbating anxiety in the long run. Her TikTok video on this topic went viral, racking up half a million views!
She also touches on the 'all or nothing' mindset that many people with addictions have. Interestingly, she finds that this trait can be harnessed positively in recovery, as those who once poured everything into their addiction can channel that same energy into getting healthy. The episode is packed with practical advice on managing cravings, the importance of diet and exercise, and understanding the role of cortisol in sugar cravings and stress. Dr.
Bantel’s holistic approach emphasizes connection and support, making it clear that recovery is not just about quitting alcohol but also about building a resilient and healthy lifestyle. Whether you're just starting your sober journey or have been on it for years, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration to help you thrive.
