Nutritional Education in Texas
When your body feels achy and weighed down by unhealthy substances, eating poorly doesn’t seem all that much worse. But what if you knew that feeding your body the right things can help dramatically change the way you feel and behave?
At Cypress Lake Recovery in Texas, we believe in engaging the mind, body and spirit through comprehensive wellness treatment. Engaging in these three aspects is essential to successful recovery. We start with medical detox to remove harmful and mind-altering chemicals from the brain and body. As the mind clears, we are forced to see the damage these substances have done. Our body is a sanctuary, and we must treat it well since it’s the only one one we will have in this life. No matter what your spiritual background is, the same linear thread runs through them all in this idea that the body is sacred.
Food fuels the body, and is one of the primary sources of energy we take in. Other sources of energy come from external things, like sunlight and social interactions. The positive energy sources allow us to laugh and love, to exercise and smile. We learn to be compassionate as positive energy surrounds us. When we eat unhealthy foods that are packed with empty calories, we get sick, tired and sad. Studies are supporting the idea that certain foods exacerbate anxiety and stress; if we eliminate those foods from our diet, we can reduce stress symptoms and possibly increase our energy levels throughout the day. Nutrition can also change the way the addictive mind functions, and we work in these disciplines with nutrition education and planning.
Is Addiction Impacting Your Life?

Learn Discipline around food
Addiction teaches us to surrender control. We consume what we like, without portion control or care as to what too much or too little is regarding both addictive substances and nutritional meals. Alcoholic drinks have a lot of calories, and people addicted to alcohol often consume more alcohol than nutritional calories. Learning how to stick to a healthy diet can change the way we think about recovery and can form a base of discipline.
Our nutritionists will create a nutrition plan that dictates portions, calories and specific foods based on each patient’s needs. We create these wellness plans based on the addiction and mental health conditions they may have, at the same time a dual diagnosis is provided. Our personal chef makes these meals daily (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) to maintain consistency and teach patients portion sizes. These planned meals will fuel our patients in everything they participate in at Cypress Lake Recovery.

Listen to Your Body and Feel the Benefits of Recovery
The moment we start eating well, we notice the changes that happen inside our bodies. Many patients see decreased levels in joint pain, stress, feelings of anxiety, and feelings of depression after switching to healthier foods. Drugs and alcohol may have previously numbed and suppressed appetites. But a body moving through detox will feel the positive changes consuming healthy food. Your body can start healing and all the damage done to your tissues and systems can slowly begin to be repaired.
Listening to our bodies and how they respond, whether it’s the things we eat or how our days are spent, has an impact on what we do to feel better. Addiction is emotional and physical, so it helps to pay attention to what the body needs via mindfulness and meditation. The physical connection to nutrition can guide us to crave the things that nourish our bodies. This can result in sleeping better, reducing stress, better managed anxiety, and better the energy to get up and move.

Pamela
The program at Cypress Lake Recovery works! I emerged from an accumulation of unrecognized emotions, issues of trust, and unresolved grief and loss. 35-days of effective integration of customized quality therapy reconnected my mind, body, spirit, and I am worth it! I had masked emotions and hurtful events for decades with alcohol. At Cypress Lake Recovery I safely focused deep within to unleash harmful secrets and self-degradation. Tools of recovery were practiced, not just presented. Integrative therapies were tailored to my circumstances, thus were effective. This residential program is like no other. For me, Cypress Lake Recovery delivered what was professed. I am forever grateful for this gift of healing.

Nutritional Education and Balanced Nutrition Program
Every patient at Cypress Lake Recovery is given a meal plan and set of nutritional options they can carry into their recovery after treatment at Cypress Lake Recovery. These plans are modified to suit you better, and we educate our patients on the health benefits of each food. Nutritional education can make us aware of the things we put into our bodies and possibly change the way we think about addiction.
Most people don’t eat well because they don’t know how to cook. We educate our patients how to start making healthy and quick meals that fuel their bodies well. Vitamins and essential nutrients are packed into each meal that we create for our patients, and we teach them how they can create balanced nutrition plans at home. Balanced nutrition is understanding what your daily intake of calories is, down to the specifically portioned content of these meals as they support your lifestyle and activities you perform every day.
Call Cypress Lake Recovery and learn how to create healthy meals to support your new and balanced lifestyle, free of drugs and alcohol.
