Let’s face it: nobody goes to rehab for the cuisine. But maybe they should. It turns out that the road to recovery is paved with... well, better lunch choices. At Casa Privee, we are diving into the fascinating world of metabolic psychiatry, where we learn that you really are what you eat—and what you eat might determine if you stay sober.

The Hangry Brain

We have all been "hangry" (hungry + angry). Now consider the sensation of being hangry while trying to kick a heroin habit. It’s a disaster waiting to happen. The addict's brain is essentially a toddler who missed nap time and didn't get a snack. It throws tantrums. Metabolic psychiatry is the responsible adult that steps in, provides a steady supply of nutritious fuel, and puts the toddler down for a nap. By stabilizing glucose levels, we stop the tantrums. Simple, right?

Gut Feelings are Real

You know that "gut feeling" you get? That’s your enteric nervous system talking. It turns out your stomach has more to say than just "feed me." It’s constantly texting your brain about your mood. If your gut is full of junk food and inflammation, it’s sending text messages that say "PANIC" and "DOOM." We help you change the conversation. We heal the gut so it starts sending messages like "All good down here" and "Chill out."

Keto: Not just for Influencers

You’ve heard of the Keto diet from your gym-obsessed cousin. But in our world, it’s not about abs; it’s about brains. Ketones are like high-octane jet fuel for neurons. When we switch a brain from burning dirty sugar to burning clean ketones, the lights come on. The fog lifts. It’s like upgrading your brain’s internet connection from dial-up to fiber optic.

Biology over Willpower

We put way too much pressure on willpower. Willpower is great, but it’s a finite resource. Biology is constant. If we can get your biology working for you instead of against you, you don't need to be a superhero to stay sober. You just need to be healthy.

Finding the Foodies of Rehab

If you want a recovery that sticks, you need a place that looks at your bloodwork as closely as your trauma history. A sophisticated Miami addiction treatment center will have a menu that looks like a prescription pad.

Recovery is hard enough without fighting your own biochemistry. Let’s get your cells happy, and the rest will follow.
