Can what you eat really make a difference in your journey to overcome addiction?

She shares insights into common dietary patterns among those in recovery, such as the importance of starting the day with protein-rich meals to avoid living on stress hormones. The discussion also explores the gut-brain connection, highlighting the role of Omega-3 fatty acids in reducing cravings and promoting mental well-being.
