In this episode, Bailey sits down with nutrition, weight loss, and insulin resistance expert, & addiction recovery advocate, Adam Sud. Adam opens up and shares his first hand accounts of addiction, mental health, drug abuse, and his own journey to recovery. He helps us connect the dots when it comes to the standard recovery model and questions the idea in western medicine that nutrition, mental health, and addiction are actually interconnected, rather than all separated. Adam is the founder of the non profit organization "Plant Based For Positive Change" and is an international speaker for plant based nutrition and addiction recovery. Bai and Adam share a powerful and inspiring conversation about body image, prescription dependency, suicide prevention, and modern day pressures.
