Resources
If you are beginning your healthy lifestyle journey, you may already realize that there is so much information available these days – your head is probably spinning. This is why we felt a resource page may be helpful to aid you in sorting through the best products. There are many products with labels such as “natural” that are not the best products for you and your family. They may actually be causing you and your family harm. Remember, just because it is on a natural food shelf does not mean it is a good product. We will add to this page as we grow and become aware of other products. If you know of other fabulous products, please feel free to share them with us. We will be happy to run them by DRHutch Approved and add them to our site.
Have FUN learning 🙂
Many of the approaches you will see on these sites we can also offer you through Turning Tides. When we began our journey, the information was not as available as it is today. If you are NEW on your journey through addictions and neurobiological disorders, you are probably just like a sponge, attempting to soak up as much information as you can possibly retain. We know! We were just like that, and we are still hungry to absorb all of the new research being made available centered around alternative ways to help the healing process in these areas. The below lists is not an all-encompassing one, but it will at least get you headed in the right direction.
