Relapse rates are so chronic it's almost impossible for someone to quit once and then never use again. People don't learn how to live life without substances.
Ever wondered how your diet could be the secret weapon in your recovery journey? In this episode of Elevation Recovery, Chris Scott sits down with Dr. Rebeca Eriksen, a seasoned Nutritional Consultant for Fit Recovery. With over a decade of clinical experience, Dr. Eriksen shares her wisdom on how nutrition can play a pivotal role in overcoming addiction and boosting immunity. Dr.
Eriksen breaks down the essentials, from the importance of vitamins like D and C to the role of antioxidants. She stresses that while quitting substances is tough, learning to live without them is even tougher—and that’s where proper nutrition comes in. It's not just about what you eat, but the quality of your food that matters most. She advises steering clear of processed foods and opting for home-cooked meals instead. But it doesn't stop there. Dr.
Eriksen dives into the world of gut health, explaining how probiotics and prebiotics can make a significant difference. She notes that food's journey through our system affects its absorption and ultimately our health. The less processed, the better it is for your gut, which in turn supports your overall well-being. One of the more eye-opening points Dr. Eriksen makes is how nutrition often takes a backseat in academic and pharmaceutical circles, despite its crucial role in recovery.
She advocates for giving nutrition the spotlight it deserves, especially for those battling addiction. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into how a mindful approach to diet can make a world of difference. Tune in to discover practical tips and learn why what you eat could be the missing piece in your recovery puzzle.
