Overcoming Addiction Using Nutrition

Adam Sud found the will to live by overcoming a drug addiction and surviving an attempted suicide. He credits much of his strength to three things: confronting his demons, reflecting inward, and changing the way he was eating.   On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, Adam joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to share his remarkable journey back from the breaking point and the way in which nutrition played a key role in his recovery.   He is now leading the INFINITE Study which examines the effects of a low-fat, whole-food, plant-based diet on physical and mental health as well as resilience in addiction recovery. In essence, can a healthy diet increase the likelihood that someone will achieve long-term sobriety?   Adam’s own experience offers hope that sobriety and health can be very much intertwined.   Plus, Dr. Neal Barnard offers advice to a listener who wants to go vegan, but whose spouse is not being supportive of the change. He offers the tools that can keep their relationship as healthy as a plant-based diet.   — — — Adam Sud IG: @plantbasedaddict The INFINITE Study: https://bit.ly/2BGABZ3 — — — Chuck Carroll Twitter: @ChuckCarrollWLC IG: @ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: https://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — Dr. Neal Barnard Twitter: @drnealbarnard IG: @drnealbarnard Facebook: http://bit.ly/DrBarnardFB — — — Physicians Committee Twitter: @PCRM IG: @PhysiciansCommittee Facebook: https://wghtloss.cc/PCRMFacebook YouTube: https://bit.ly/PCRMYouTube — — — Barnard Medical Center Telemedicine Schedule Appointment https://bit.ly/BMCtelemed 202-527-7500 — — — Share the Show   Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or many other podcast providers.
