If someone told you that their addiction was an act of self-care, what would you say?\\xa0
\\xa0
Would you believe them - accepting that they need their addiction to keep going, or would you see an opportunity for change?\\xa0

In a world where we see more of someone\\u2019s highlight reel than their struggles, it\\u2019s hard for us to see all the nuances that come with addiction and poor mental health. And all the options available in the process of recovery\\u2026like plant based nutrition, for example.\\xa0
\\xa0
In the latest episode of The Darin Olien Show, I sit down with Adam Sud to discover his transformative struggle with depression, anxiety, and addiction to being able to help others on their path to recovery. The importance of recognizing that our instincts are not failing us; rather, they are responding to an environment for which they were not designed. And the role nutrition plays in emotional wellness, highlighting the often overlooked connection between mental health issues like depression and anxiety with our physical health.
