xification, support genetic mutations, and the body's ability to formulate neurotransmitters. These processes are all dependent upon nutrient availability. We must not only look at the nutrients we are taking in but our body's ability to absorb and utilize them and to excrete harmful substances that interfere with absorption. Absorption can be weakened by diets high in sugar and alcohol, digestive disturbances, genetic mutations, blood sugar instability, difficulty managing stress, and glitches in the detoxification process.
We also need to examine lifestyle and environmental factors that might be stripping your body of the nutrients necessary to suppress addictive tendencies.
I hope this helps you to understand the struggle your body is facing and the way binge eating becomes a part of its efforts to find balance and harmony.
This is the opposite of self-sabotage. It is a courageous act of self-defense.
