Fuel Your Recovery!: Healing with Nutrition in the Journey from Addiction

Finally, a holistic guide to aid in healing from alcohol and drug addiction with better nutrition! In Fuel Your Recovery, Nicole Fetterly shares how she battled her addictions to alcohol and cannabis for over a decade. And yet her life as a professional dietitian remained separate from her struggle for personal wellness. Once in recovery, she discovered that most treatment programs didn’t directly address the nutritional deficits, appetite loss, and changes to the gut microbiome that result from prolonged alcohol and drug abuse. After completing a four-week in-patient treatment program, Fetterly was inspired to bring together her professional expertise and her personal experience with addiction and recovery to help others heal and thrive long term.

Fuel Your Recovery outlines the small changes that can improve your health and success in recovery. In addition to examining common nutrient deficiencies and how to reverse them, it guides your journey through meal planning, effective hydration, stimulating your appetite, and increasing rest.
