Ketosis and Sobriety: The Hidden Link Between Sugar, Insulin, and Addiction Recovery

When you have insulin resistance, you have difficulty absorbing nutrients in the first place.

Ever thought about how sugar and carbs might be sabotaging your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Sober is Dope', POP Buchanan shares a powerful talk from Dr. Eric Berg that might just change the way you view addiction recovery. Dr. Berg dives into the often-overlooked connection between sugar, insulin, and sobriety. He explains how alcohol mimics carbohydrates in the body, leading to blood sugar swings that can cause anxiety, exhaustion, moodiness, and cravings.

And it doesn't stop there—nutrient deficiencies and insulin resistance add another layer of complexity to recovery. Dr. Berg offers practical advice on how to combat these issues through ketosis, intermittent fasting, and nutrient-rich foods like MCT oil and nutritional yeast. If you're looking for a fresh perspective on your sobriety journey, this episode is packed with actionable insights that could make all the difference.
