The road to recovery from addiction is mental, physical, and in many cases, spiritual. The role and importance nutrition plays in supporting an individual’s recovery is crucial. Most individuals beginning their recovery journey have underlying nutritional deficiencies that may hinder their progress. In recovery, many individuals turn to food as a coping mechanism.
Properly fueling the body with protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates will increase healing, reduce mood imbalances, and support recovery efforts. I firmly believe in the healing power of food and am compelled to be of service through nutrition counseling and nutrition education in the recovery community.
