In this episode of The Mind Gut Conversation, I talk with Arielle Lorre about her journey from rock bottom. Arielle is a lifestyle, wellness, and health influencer in the digital space. Six years ago, that was far from the case. After nearly losing her battle against addiction, Arielle decided to turn her life around by relentlessly pursuing health and happiness.  In 2016, Arielle made her Instagram debut, which lead to the creation of her semi-eponymous website, The Blonde Files, in 2018. Arielle’s distinct voice and candor immediately distinguished the platform from others in the space. The Blonde Files quickly became a unique online destination, where Arielle continues to explore her recovery from drug and alcohol addiction, and the beautiful road that lies ahead, post-recovery.   You can learn more about Arielle + see her podcast at www.theblondfiles.com Follow Dr. Mayer: https://linktr.ee/emayer
