Have you ever wondered how weight loss surgery can unexpectedly intertwine with alcohol use disorder? A listener asked this brave question: "I’m 7 years post WLS, I was always a social drinker, after WLS I radically changed my eating habits, but added wine…and it snuck up on me and soon I became a daily drinker. I really would like to connect with someone and understand the biological reasons for transfer addiction."In this episode, host Ruby Williams gets real about her own journey with food, alcohol, and addictive behavior swapping.  They  discuss the surprising connection between weight loss surgery and developing disordered drinking patterns, shedding light on the rapid absorption of alcohol post-surgery and the emotional and physical toll it can take.Ruby shares her inspiring weekly food prep routine, highlighting the importance of a keto diet and the positive impact it has on her well-being. She emphasizes the role of food prep in maintaining control over dietary choices and feeling good in her body. The hosts emphasize the importance of cultivating self-love and self-compassion, and the significance of being mindful of drinking habits and reasons for alcohol use. Join us for a heartfelt conversation that breaks down misconceptions and offers practical tools for personal growth.
