In this video, I want to talk to you about the biggest thing that is missing from addiction recovery.

If you’re recovering from alcohol, for example, you have to realize that alcohol acts like a carbohydrate in the body. However, alcohol itself isn’t a carbohydrate, which means that you’ll have the fluctuations of blood sugar issues.

The symptoms of these blood sugar highs and lows are:
• Anxiety
• Exhaustion
• Moodiness
• Cravings
• Dizziness
• Confusion

When you are at something like alcoholics anonymous, for example, you are going to replace alcohol with carbs and sugars—think doughnuts, cookies, and sweetened coffee.

What we’re really dealing with are nutrient deficiencies. Addictive substances pull nutrients out of your tissues.

As your blood sugar fluctuates, you develop something called insulin resistance. When you have insulin resistance, you have a difficult time absorbing nutrients in the first place.

So not only is the alcohol (or other substance) causing nutrient deficiencies directly, it also causes nutrient deficiencies by contributing to insulin resistance.

The best things to help combat these problems are:
• Keto
• Intermittent fasting
• MCT oil
• Nutritional yeast
• Trace minerals
• Vitamin C
