"More than Meets the Eye:
Linking Nutrition to Behavioral Health"
The Biopsychosocial Perspective suggests the risk factors and protective factors that influence substance-seeking behavior at the individual and population level, and how they may impact health outcomes. Of particular importance in the opioid crisis appears to be the mediating role of life stressors, and possibly the role of gastrointestinal health. Identifying the underlying factors that contribute to addiction vulnerability may lead to more effective prevention strategies. This presentation attempts to present a biopsychosocial approach that connects various social and biological theories related to the addiction crisis. It is time to advocate for an integration of social and biological disciplines in order to better address public health issues such as eating disorders, food addiction, and the opioid tragedy. This presentation will cover hot topics in neuroscience, gastrointestinal health, and the biological embedding of adversity. The emerging role of nutrition therapy with an emphasis on gastrointestinal health in the treatment of opioid use disorder is presented. This single cohesive framework is based on the interdependency of the entire system. Nutrition should be included as one facet of a multidisciplinary approach toward improved recovery outcomes.
