Substance WITHDRAWAL (PAIN/OXYCONTIN ADDICTION)
Nutritional Support Protocol
 

Lifestyle Recommendations:

1. Practice good sleep habits and get between 8-9 hours of sleep a night. Take the "Are You Getting Enough Sleep?" questionnaire and follow the Insomnia Nutritional Support Protocol if needed.

2. Participate in a regular balanced exercise program that includes wearing a pedometer to ensure that you collect steps and move more. High intensity short bursts (20-60 seconds) of activity during the day is recommended to enhance growth hormone release. Also engage in resistance training that works all major muscle groups (work each group at least 2 times a week).

3. Meditate and practice breathing exercises to calm the emotional centers of your brain to encourage a more relaxed, happy state.

4. Keep a mood log to monitor your progress.

5. Healing relationships enhance mood and calm anxiety. Continue to build positive relationships in your life; practice clear communication, cooperation and forgiveness.
