How the Keto Diet Stops Cravings and Heals the Addicted Brain
Is the secret to lasting sobriety found in your kitchen? In this episode, we dive deep into why the Keto Diet is being hailed as a "metabolic intervention" for addiction recovery.
We explore the groundbreaking research from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) that shows how switching from sugar to fat as a fuel source can significantly reduce withdrawal symptoms, stabilize brain chemistry, and stop the "sugar-addiction" cycle that leads many to relapse.
In this video, you’ll learn:
How ketones bypass damaged glucose pathways in the brain.
The role of GABA and Glutamate in stabilizing your mood during detox.
Why "low fat" diets might be sabotaging your sobriety.
Practical tips for avoiding the "Keto Flu" and staying consistent.
If you are struggling with alcohol cravings, sugar addiction, or the "sobriety weight gain" trap, this conversation offers a roadmap to healing your brain from the cellular level up.
