The biggest theme when people talk to me in terms of the emotional content and the psychological content of what I do, it's always the word freedom, freedom.
Ever thought about how what you eat can change your life? Meet Victoria Abel, a therapist, chef, and certified addiction nutritionist, who has been on an incredible journey of recovery and transformation. Victoria's story began in 1994, working within inpatient treatment and dealing with trauma, family systems, and various addictions. With a Master’s degree in counseling and a deep-rooted belief in holistic practices from her upbringing, she found herself at a crossroads when her daughter fell ill.
A significant dietary change not only improved her daughter's health but also ignited Victoria's passion for the healing power of food. In this episode of 'The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast', Victoria shares her personal battles with addiction and how she turned to alcohol and drugs to manage the stress of the restaurant industry. Hitting rock bottom was a turning point that led her to embrace holistic nutrition.
Now, she integrates nutrition therapy into her work, helping clients heal their relationship with food. From discussing the principles of holistic nutrition to exploring the link between addiction and disordered eating, Victoria provides practical insights and encouragement for those on their recovery journey. Victoria also talks about the benefits of removing sugar from your diet and the challenges of navigating social situations while in recovery. She offers alternative ways to cope with overwhelming emotions and find joy through cooking.
Her multidisciplinary approach to addiction recovery is both inspiring and informative. Join host Ashley Loeb Blassingame as she dives into this enlightening conversation with Victoria Abel. Whether you're curious about holistic nutrition or seeking new ways to support your recovery, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways.
