Recovery is different from abstinence, though both are important as you heal from addiction. Abstinence is the avoiding of an addictive substance, while recovery is the balancing of your body from years of addiction.

For example, some people go from cocaine to coffee so the same activating patterns of addiction are playing out with a new susbtance.

This free session focuses on the somatic psychology behind addiction (a desperation for safety) as well as the biochemistry that causes us to become addicted. Whether it's food, legal or illegal drugs, television, media, work, porn, sex, or money we welcome anyone here who is in recovery, wants to be, or supports people in recovery to learn the important role that food plays in helping the body become balanced and less dependent on addictive substances and behaviors.

This session will be 60 minutes and is free to attend. Everyone who registers will receive a replay.

Intermittent fasting, juice fasting, and straight up water fasts have undeniable health benefits. But did you know that the cleansing mechanism during a fast is powered by one important stress hormone? Adrenaline. This free session explores the nuanced discussion around when it's most supportive to fast, how to prepare your body for fasting, and when it's more stressful than helpful for your body. I'll be focusing on blood sugar, hormonal cycles, intentional fasting, & religious and lunar fasting. Please come with plenty of questions because toward the end we will have a Q&A.

These Food Therapy sessions are free, 60-minute recorded sessions. A replay will be sent out afterwards to everyone who has registered.
