Holistic Nutritional Therapy & Education at Sea Recovery

Rebuild your health and emotional resilience from the inside out with one-to-one nutritional therapy and education — delivered in a luxury mental health rehab setting in Marbella, Spain.

The Body Remembers — So We Nourish It

At Sea Recovery, we understand that true healing doesn’t just happen in the mind. It happens in the gut, the nervous system, the endocrine balance — and the thousands of small, silent processes that shape how we feel each day.

Our Holistic Nutritional Therapy & Education programme helps clients address the deep physical impact of addiction, trauma, burnout, and emotional stress by supporting their body with nutrient-dense, functional nourishment tailored to their needs. This is not a diet. This is the foundation for nervous system safety and long-term mental health recovery.

What Is Holistic Nutritional Therapy?

Holistic Nutritional Therapy combines evidence-based nutrition science with personalised lifestyle education to support whole-person healing. We assess not just what you eat — but how you absorb, metabolise, and respond to food emotionally and physically.

Our one-to-one programme includes:

• Gut health restoration (microbiome support, inflammation reduction)
• Hormonal balancing through food, supplements, and timing
• Blood sugar regulation and adrenal support
• Brain-gut axis healing to support mood and clarity
• Meal planning and lifestyle coaching
• Disordered eating recovery support (without restriction or fear)

We tailor every nutritional protocol to your personal history, recovery goals, emotional capacity, and existing diagnoses. No rules. No food fear. Just support.

Why Nutrition Matters in Mental Health & Addiction Recovery

When the body is depleted — whether from alcohol, stimulant use, emotional stress, or trauma — core systems begin to malfunction: blood sugar becomes unstable, cortisol spikes, sleep deteriorates, and the gut loses its protective balance. All of this leads to emotional reactivity, low mood, fogginess, and physical fatigue.

By rebalancing the internal system with targeted nourishment and lifestyle shifts, clients begin to feel emotionally safer, more present, and more physically resilient. Nutritional therapy is especially beneficial for those navigating:

• Dual diagnosis presentations
• Eating disorders or disordered eating habits
• Emotional disconnection and burnout
• Chronic anxiety, sleep disruption, and overwhelm
• Relapse cycles and post-acute withdrawal symptoms

What’s Included in Our Nutritional Therapy Programme

Each client receives a completely tailored plan developed in consultation with a qualified nutritionist and recovery therapist. Our support may include:

• In-depth nutritional and lifestyle assessment
• Supplement guidance (when needed)
• Daily, chef-prepared meals designed to support gut health and mood
• Education around meal timing, blood sugar stability, and emotional eating
• Support around food anxiety, body image, and chronic digestive issues
• Gentle reintroduction of movement to support metabolic balance

Most importantly, all of our nutritional therapy is rooted in nervous system safety. We meet you where you are — whether you’ve not eaten in days, or have a long history of restrictive patterns. We never force, shame, or push. We educate, support, and adapt in real time.

The Gut-Brain Connection

Emerging research has shown that gut health plays a direct role in emotional regulation, hormone balance, and cognitive clarity. The gut is home to over 90% of your serotonin receptors — the very chemicals that regulate mood and resilience.

That’s why we work to repair the gut-brain axis using food, nervous system repair, and trauma-aware support. Our clients often notice:

• Improved mood and energy
• Reduced food cravings and binge tendencies
• Increased emotional stability
• Better digestion, skin health, and hormonal function
• More consistent sleep and stress recovery

Who This Is For

This therapy is ideal for adults recovering from:

• Substance use and process addiction
• Binge eating, restriction, or orthorexia
• Low self-worth and body distrust
• Burnout and chronic fatigue
• Mood disorders and energy imbalances

It is also useful for high-functioning professionals and creatives whose nervous systems have been pushed past their limit and who now struggle to regulate appetite, energy, or focus.

Delivered in a Luxury Rehab Setting in Marbella

All of our nutritional therapy and education is delivered one-to-one within our private residential rehab in Marbella, Spain. You’ll work directly with our in-house wellness team, who coordinate closely with our therapists, chefs, and support staff to ensure your physical recovery is fully aligned with your emotional recovery journey.

Meals are prepared by private chefs trained in therapeutic cooking — with an emphasis on nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory, mood-supportive meals. Everything is tailored to your preferences, dietary needs, and gut healing plan.

It also forms a key part of our Aftercare Programme, with custom food routines, supplement support, and follow-up consultations available to help clients transition back into real-world life without losing physical balance.

Integrated with Therapeutic Work

Our nutritional support is not isolated from therapy — it’s integrated. Many of our clients explore food relationships and physical self-care within other modalities like:

• Trauma-informed therapy
• Yoga and movement therapy
• Mindfulness and meditation
• Self-esteem and identity work
• Functional breathing and body awareness

This whole-body approach helps clients rewire both mindset and biology — giving them the greatest possible chance at sustainable emotional healing.
