Congratulations on choosing sobriety and committing to your healing journey. That’s a powerful first step. Nutrition can play a meaningful role in supporting your recovery and helping your body restore balance.
During active substance use, nourishment often isn’t the priority. Alcohol and other substances can deplete essential nutrients, disrupt the gut microbiome, reduce nutrient absorption, and contribute to deficiencies that affect energy, mood, and overall health.
Here's How I can Help:
Recovery Support

At Peaceable Nutrition & Wellness, Marissa teaches a mindful intuitive approach encouraging self care, self love and balance. Helping people that struggle with restrictive intake, binging, purging and letting go of the diet mentality.
