I’m gonna talk about the biggest thing

that is missing when you’re trying to

recover from an addiction now if you’re

recovering from alcohol for example you

have to realize that in your body

alcohol acts as a carbohydrate even

though it’s alcohol itself is not a

carbohydrate now they put carbohydrates

in it like beer wine and things like

that mixed drinks but pure alcohol

ethanol is not a carbohydrate which

means you’ll have the fluctuations of

blood sugar issues okay because your

body is constantly trying to get rid of

it it considers it a toxin so it’s

pulling it out as a priority and there’s

a lot of liver issues and things like

that so the symptoms from that alone

from the blood sugar highs and lows are

gonna be anxiety fatigue moodiness

definitely craving dizzy and confusion

so if you’re at a program like alcohol

Anonymous for example you’re gonna

replace the alcohol for carbohydrates

okay because donuts sugar in the coffee

cookies candy load you up with

carbohydrates so you never really get

rid of this blood sugar problem realize

what we’re dealing with is a major

chemical imbalance whether it’s drugs or

alcohol

those things are pulling nutrients out

of your tissues and what I mean by

chemical imbalance is a nutrient

imbalance nutrient deficiencies big-time

and there’s a condition behind this

blood sugar fluctuation called insulin

resistance and when you have insulin

resistance you have difficulty absorbing

nutrients in the first place so not only

is the alcohol creating a deficiency but

the insulin resistance is also on top of

that blocking your ability to absorb

nutrients so it keeps things completely

out of balance I would run your body on

ketones

okay ketones are an alternative-fuel

ketones are a byproduct of burning your

own fat your body loves ketones and

prefers ketones but way over glucose

when you were in ketosis which means

you’re running your body in ketones

these symptoms completely go away you

just feel much better

now how do you do it you have to lower

your carbs but you want to be on a

healthy keto eating plan so you want to

lower your carbs and then you want to do

fasting in a minute fasting what’s

interesting about fasting is that it

will also put your body into a healing

mode so you start repairing the insulin

resistance so now you start absorbing

nutrients but you do have to realize

that this process even though you’re

gonna feel better right away takes quite

a bit of time to correct especially if

you’ve been abusing drugs or alcohol for

a long period of time so you may need to

do this for some months if not years to

really see the full benefits but you’ll

be feeling good so you want to want to

continue it the other thing that I think

is very very important in the meantime

while you you’re doing this is to

actually take key challenge them self

okay you can get them in a supplement or

through something called NCT oil that

will turn into ketones so these are

called exogenous ketones or ketone salts

you take them your brain starts feeling

a lot better it makes it easier to be

successful long-term especially because

there are a lot of symptoms that are

associated with withdrawals and

physiological cravings for certain

things so you want to satisfy the body

with the right fuel that’s number one

number two you want to give it certain

nutrients the best source of the

b-complex is nutritional yeast what you

want to do is you want to be consuming

this all day long it’s going to help you

have large amounts of it you’ll just

feel better from it next thing is trace

minerals trace minerals are also very

important in many different things but

you become deficient in trace minerals

when you consume alcohol or take drugs

as well but it C is also important but

don’t just get the regular vitamin C

that you would get at the you know

drugstore that’s synthetic you want to

get a food base a natural vitamin C

complex you want to keep taking these

for a period of months and months until

your body comes to a balance date I

think the implementation of these basic

things is this basic diet is

not emphasized enough in these rehab

programs so I highly recommend you try

it so you can actually see for yourself

and then you’ll really know so I put me
