He blends neuroscience, medication, and therapy with nutrition and lifestyle tools to support whole-person healing.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; What I love about his work is that it\u2019s not just clinical \u2014 it\u2019s deeply compassionate. He helps people understand how their brain and body work together so they can build resilience, recover from addiction, and truly heal from the inside out. &amp;nbsp; He shares why most people relapse not because of willpower, but because trauma remains unresolved. From the role of GABA in calming the nervous system to how EMDR helps reprocess trauma, this episode is packed with practical tools and compassionate wisdom for anyone on the healing path. &amp;nbsp; Before we jump in, I have a new segment, called \u201cA question for you!\u201d Today I want to know how you feel about the word \u201cAlcoholic\u201d.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I was interviewed on another podcast today and the host told me he thought it was a shame label. If you know me even a little bit, you\u2019ll know that the way I define it - it\u2019s a badge of honor, but also, it doesn\u2019t matter to me what you call yourself, as long as you get the support you need to heal and break free from addiction.
