Welcome to the first (woohoo) ever episode of Addiction Radio by Live Rehab!

You’re probably asking yourself; why a podcast? Well, we thought it would be a good way to help busy people on the go get in some actionable advice to improve their lives. What started out as a conversation between Nick and Denise on healthy eating quickly turned into an opportunity that we thought the whole Live Rehab community would benefit from – so that’s where we thought we’d start!

Really excited to expand our message out via podcasts. For our first ever episode we decided to tackle a topic we get asked a lot about;

How do you eat healthy?

What we eat and put into our bodies plays a significant role in how we feel, regardless of anything else.

Most people who struggle with an addiction, don’t necessarily put a lot of thought and effort into what they are eating, because the addiction is what has taken precedence.

Everything you do revolves around what you are addicted to. Your nutrition has probably not been the best and has been lacking in some way.

Let’s dive into this months episode where we’re going to address this head-on!

Addiction Radio – Healthy Diet and Nutrition During Recovery

A message from Live Rehab:

Are you looking for online rehab or alternatives to AA or NA?

Here at Live Rehab, our online drug and alcohol courses help people obtain sobriety without having to leave their homes.

Does rehab really work?

For some people, traditional rehab does work but it’s clear that the option is not for everyone. This is why we have created rehab alternatives. Taking courses online means you have the flexibility to work on your sobriety on your own time.

The Surprising Impact of Alcohol

May 28, 2018 By Nick Leave a Comment

How familiar are you with the impact of alcohol both physically and mentally?

This infographic from the website Visual.ly highlights some important information:

From Visually.
The Impact of Alcohol

Let’s breakdown the impact of alcohol and see how this could affect you.

Blood Alcohol (BAC) Level 1

At a BAC between 0 and 0.03 you’re still feeling pretty normal. It would be hard to tell at this level you had drunk anything. There are some tests that can be done which can still figure out you’ve drunk alcohol.

Blood Alcohol (BAC) Level 2 – 0.03 to 0.06

Things start to get worse around this level. The impact of alcohol is definitely more visible and you’re going to be experiencing some mild euphoria, relaxation and in general being a more sociable person. Lots of people at this stage still aren’t thinking of themselves as heavy drinking even though they might do this level of drinking a couple of times a week.

It’s important to note there are many people who don’t realise the long term effect of alcohol even if they are only drinking this much. The problem is many people drinking this much multiple times a week. It adds up over time and the health issues compound.

We’re still only talking about 2-3 drinks right now.

How often are you drinking 2-3 drinks a week?

Blood Alcohol (BAC) Level 3 – 0.06 to 0.09

By the time you’re at this level thinks are taking a marked turn for the worst. Your alcohol consumption is somewhere between 3-6 drinks depending on a bunch of different factors. Both physically and emotionally you’re going to be impacted significantly. Think about things such as wildly varying emotion swings from anger to sadness and everything in between.

Physically speaking you will be dealing with much slower reflexes, reaction times and potentially staggering around. We all know what we look like at this stage (or friends/family members). It definitely isn’t pretty. Even if this doesn’t regularly describe you, it does describe potentially binge drinking episodes which can have even greater harm potential for instance.

Blood Alcohol (BAC) – 0.11 to 0.20

Here is where the dangers really start to escalate. Between 6-11 drinks can do the trick here depending on your weight, age and sex. Although, I would caution that these amounts should not be taken at face value. If you’ve ever blacked out or lost consciousness, chances are your BAC level was somewhere around this level.

If you do drink heavily and consistently experience things like memory loss, impaired sensations or a general stupor, the likelihood of developing liver disease is exponentially greater. Your immune system is also taking a major hit at this level. You might find that if you regularly drink alcohol to this level you are also getting cold, flu or infections much more frequently.

Blood Alcohol (BAC) – 0.21 to 0.29

The amounts of alcohol required to get to this level of blood alcohol will vary considerably between people so I’m not going to put a specific number of drinks. However, I will direct you the fact that death is very possible at this level. Major, massive physical effects are apparent at this level.

You’re very likely to become unconscious at this level at some point and you’ll be dealing with escalating issues surrounding your heart rate and breathing. The impact of alcohol at this level simply cannot be underestimated.

Your central nervous system is definitely under attack and likely to become severely depressed.

Blood Alcohol (BAC) – 0.30 +

A blood alcohol level of more than 0.3 is likely to produce death.

While other physical factors may be evident that preclude death, the ultimate destination at this escalating level is the only thing that matters. Even if you were to make it to this level of alcohol consumption, and the alcohol itself did not kill you, the withdrawal symptoms alone could result in your death too.

Alcohol and drug addiction treatment are often thought of as two different things. It is very easy to go out to a local shop in the United States and legally buy large amounts of alcohol. In fact, you can purchase enough to die from for under $20 in most states.

Can the same be said for cocaine or heroin?

No.

The danger then becomes that the concept of substance abuse in most people’s minds doesn’t extend to drinking alcohol. The modern media and society glorifies a drinking culture and stigmatizes other drugs. However, this chart alone, should be enough to highlight just how dangerous this kind of thinking is.

I assume that those of you reading this blog post might be able to identify at least a few times where these situations have happened to you. In fact, I also think quite a few of you might have even had drinking sessions where more than 10 drinks were consumed you passed out.

How close were you to dying that time?

You might never know. And, that’s one of the most dangerous aspects of alcohol addiction. Because of the relaxed approach to alcohol consumption around the world, it becomes easy to get caught in a cycle of alcohol abuse.

There is a way out.

When you think of alcohol addiction treatment, the first thing that probably pops into your mind if a treatment center. But, that doesn’t have to be the case.

At Live Rehab we realised that there was a need to help people get sober and quit alcohol from the comfort of their own homes without having to visit a treatment center.

Our Sobriety Success platform provides you with live video courses designed to take you through a complete recovery program. It doesn’t require an expensive, inpatient program. You won’t have to leave your friends at family for 30 days and you don’t have to visit countless support groups to get health.

And, you can get started for just $1.

5 Actionable Steps to Improve Your Health with Nutrition [infographic]

May 19, 2018 By Nick Leave a Comment

Food.

It goes without saying that almost all of us could do a better job with what, how and why we eat. But, why is it so important for those who are in recovery or who are sober already?

The food that you put into your body, ultimately nourishes the entire self.

Part of what makes addiction so damaging to the whole body is that it typically causes people to neglect making healthy choices elsewhere in their lives. Getting started on improving your health with nutrition can be a daunting task however. Where do you even start?

Don’t worry!

We’ve broken it down into 5 easy steps that anyone can use to get started:

Actionable Steps to Improve Nutrition

Share this Image On Your Site

Your overall health is highly dependent on the foods that you put into your body. I talk about healthy eating in most of my courses because it’s essential that you eat foods that will help you feel better in order to combat whatever addiction you’re trying to beat.

Start a Nutrition Plan Today!

Your task for this week is going to be to research online what type of nutritional program you want to start and to pick one that you think will work best for you. This isn’t a weight loss course or a course that’s going to teach you how to gain muscle. This is about reaching your maximum potential when it comes to your physical health.

Are you Eating the Right Foods?

To do this, you’ll want to take a look at your own diet and understand where you can improve. For starters, look at things like; are you getting enough fruits and vegetables? Are you getting enough protein and fiber? You’ll want to eliminate as much processed food as possible. With that being said, you should come up with your own nutritional goals; this may be to lose a few pounds or to just generally eat better. There are thousands of plans to choose from.

Why Use a Nutrition Plan?

The reason I suggest sticking with a plan because if you’re like most people, it’s hard to know and understand how exactly to optimize your nutrition for better health. Following a plan makes it much easier.

My sister did the Paleo Method and I have a friend who tried Whole 30. Some people are interested in going gluten free or maybe vegetarian. Whatever you’ve wanted to do, this is the week to figure that out and do what it takes to start. You can start by signing up for an online membership, purchasing or renting a book from the library or whatever it is you need to start.

Whatever you do, just get started!

5 Actionable Steps you can Take:

1. Find a nutrition program

2. Gather items you will need to make this a success: food, books, etc.

3. Get rid of junk food in your home – (soda, cookies, candy, etc.)

4. Cook food at home (bye-bye takeout)

5. Choose sensible portions (don’t go overboard and eat too much).

A New Day for Addiction and Recovery

May 10, 2018 By Nick Leave a Comment

Sobriety Success Launch

Today is a massive day for anyone struggling with addiction, recovery and sobriety. After 5 years of building out courses and programs externally, we’ve built a product that we hope will redefine how people interact with and obtain their sobriety.

As we looked into how people traditionally approached addiction in their lives we noticed a huge problem. So many people we talked with needed a way to seek out treatment on their own terms.

That’s when it hit us.

We needed to build a platform that was completely dedicated to sobriety that was designed to be accessed at any time and from any location. Enter Sobriety Success.

Sobriety Success is the first of its kind of platform that combines both the effectiveness of online courses (something we’ve seen proven time and time again via 1300+ students) and community building. The platform has been built from the ground up with the end user in mind.

Let me explain.

Not everyone can do traditional rehab. Not everyone can quit their job for 30 days or their whole family.

Most people don’t like going to group meetings or seeking one-on-one counseling.

This is the exact premise for the Sobriety Success platform. Here are the main features that we’re really excited about launching with:

  • Recovery Courses
    7 premium courses designed to cover a wide range of addiction and recovery related issues. Courses included drug and alcohol bootcamp, opioid addiction and more
    ​
  • Ask Live Rehab
    Ask Live Rehab is a unique, community driven Q&A forum. Specifically designed for addiction and recovery, it’s like having your own personal coach 24×7!
    ​
  • Recovery Mastermind
    ​Each month users have access to a Mastermind sessions diving deep into addiction and recovery related issues. Members also get access to the back catalog of previous Masterminds.
    ​
  • Private Facebook Group
    ​​Part of the recovery process built into the Sobriety Success method is building out relationships in a healthy way. The Private Facebook Group allows members to connect with likeminded people who are on the same journey as they are.

Let’s fix addiction and recovery

We’re really excited to be launching this first version of the platform and have many exciting changes, updates and improvements to make in the future. If you’re as excited as we are to be a part of the change, you can get started right here.
