Recovering addicts are commonly malnourished. Beyond this they are facing many deficiencies that are making it more difficult for the body to do its natural functions of detoxification, regeneration, and more.

This course will also touch on common causes of relapses that are preventable based on nutrition and behavioral changes.

This week you will learn about breaths link with the nervous system, the vagus nerve, and helpful biohacking tools to utilize to regulate your nervous system. The tools we will touch on are breathwork, vagal toning, grounding exercises, meditation, cold therapy, and co-regulation.
Week 3: Exercise for Addiction Recovery
In the third week, we look at the types of exercise, and the benefits of exercise. We deep dive into the neurotransmitters that are released when exercising that are paramount for mental health. We touch on one of my favorite topics of exercise and neuroplasticity, which proves we are so capable of continuing to change and grow. My hope with this course is to share what I have learned with my own addiction recovery and that it benefits you.
