Bianca Rivera on the Vital Role of Nutrition in Sobriety

We eat healthy to feel a certain way, and that's feeling energized, feeling vibrant, feeling nourished, and that doesn't mean that we're just eating fruits and vegetables all the time.
Ever wondered how your diet impacts your journey to sobriety? In this episode of Sober Company, host Lacey sits down with Bianca Rivera, a sober Registered Dietitian, to unravel the connection between nutrition and recovery. Bianca’s story is compelling – a working mom who found her way to sobriety during the pandemic. She shares her personal journey and professional insights, making this conversation both relatable and informative.
Bianca dives into the nitty-gritty of how alcohol affects the body, particularly the digestive system. She explains that alcohol can damage tissues in the digestive tract, leading to malnourishment and sugar cravings. But it’s not all about what alcohol takes away; it’s also about what good nutrition can give back. Bianca emphasizes the importance of balance in a healthy diet and how a Registered Dietitian can be a crucial ally in recovery.
The discussion also touches on practical advice for parents. How do you talk to your kids about alcohol? How can you teach them healthy ways to handle their emotions? Bianca and Lacey explore these questions, offering tips that are both practical and heartfelt. Throughout the episode, Bianca reminds us that good nutrition isn't just about eating fruits and vegetables all the time. It’s about feeling energized, vibrant, and truly nourished.
Whether you’re just starting your sobriety journey or looking for ways to support a loved one, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable advice.
