If we want to use things like nutrition, yoga, massage, acupuncture etc as part of our healing process then it's called advanced complementary medicine rather than alternative medicine.
Imagine a life where yoga and nutrition work hand in hand to support your recovery journey. In this episode of Tribe Sober, Janet sits down with Tom and Tamsin Sheehey, the dynamic duo behind The Shala Yoga Studio in Cape Town, South Africa. Both seasoned yoga teachers, Tom also brings his expertise as a health coach specializing in nutritional guidance to the table.
Together, they share their holistic approach to recovery, blending the physical, mental, and nutritional aspects to create a comprehensive healing experience. Tom and Tamsin delve into the concept of 'complementary medicine', a term they prefer over 'alternative medicine'. They believe that practices like yoga, nutrition, massage, and acupuncture should enhance traditional medical treatments rather than replace them. Tom explains how regular alcohol consumption can lead to chronic inflammation, a precursor to various illnesses including cancer.
He also touches on how alcohol, essentially liquid sugar, can disrupt blood sugar levels and potentially lead to diabetes. The conversation flows naturally as they discuss the genetic aspects of alcoholism and the importance of discipline in recovery. Tamsin shares how virtual yoga classes have been a game-changer for many on their sobriety journey, offering flexibility and accessibility. They emphasize the mind-body connection in yoga, explaining how it helps individuals become more in tune with their bodies and minds.
This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and inspiring stories for anyone looking to enhance their recovery process through yoga and nutrition. Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this path for a while, Tom and Tamsin's insights offer a fresh perspective on how to lead a healthier, more balanced life.
