In this episode, Melanie Koen, addiction recovery coach and developer of the Ubuntu Addiction Recovery App, explores how balanced nutrition fuels both physical healing and mental clarity. Joined by fitness coach Jordan Reyes, Melanie unpacks the science behind the body’s four “happy hormones”—dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins—and how your mood can signal which one needs a boost.Together, they discuss practical ways to stimulate these hormones through mindful eating, hydration, and simple meal planning. You’ll learn how to identify what your body needs, choose foods that support emotional balance, and make one healthy swap this week to strengthen your recovery routine.Key Takeaway: Food isn’t just fuel—it’s emotional architecture. Every meal is a chance to nurture your healing and build your fortress of resilience.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ubuntu-addiction-recovery--6881193/support.
