Dr. Keith Kantor is founder of the NAMED Program, which creates healthy menus for those suffering from substance abuse and educates them so they don’t relapse.
Dr. Kantor joins Dr. Susanne to discuss this recovery program, as well as which foods you should be eating and which foods you should be avoiding.
