This session explores the critical role of nutrition in substance use disorder (SUD) recovery, offering advanced, evidence-based strategies to address nutrient deficiencies, stabilize mood and promote resilience. Attendees will gain actionable insights into how nutrient deficiencies and imbalances impact recovery, gut health, cognitive function, and emotional health.
We will present evidence-based nutritional strategies for addressing these deficiencies, stabilizing mood and enhancing physical and mental wellbeing. Practical tools, including dietary protocols and advanced counseling techniques, "cheat sheets" and handouts, will be provided to empower healthcare professionals to foster lasting behavior change.
Collaboration with multidisciplinary teams will be emphasized to promote holistic, client-centered care. This session is designed for registered dietitians seeking actionable tools to integrate nutrition effectively into multidisciplinary recovery care plans.
