Metabolic Health and Wellness Resources

Recovery from addiction involves more than just abstinence from substances. Many professionals in recovery experience metabolic health challenges including weight fluctuations, blood sugar dysregulation, and hormonal imbalances that developed during active addiction or as side effects of certain medications. Addressing these concerns is an important component of comprehensive recovery.

Research shows that metabolic dysfunction can significantly impact recovery outcomes, affecting energy levels, mood stability, and cognitive function. Professionals seeking to optimize their overall health during recovery may benefit from understanding the emerging research in metabolic wellness and recovery science.
