Unlocking Addiction: Brain Chemistry and Recovery with Jiordana Saade

All of these compulsive behaviors are really rooted in addiction, and when I decided to go back to school to study neuropsychology and understand brain behavior activity, I was really determined to understand the root of addiction and get a better sense of why some people get addicted and others do not.
Why do some people fall into the trap of addiction while others don’t? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Head-to-Heal', Jiordana Saade, a certified holistic nutritionist and behavioural neuropsychologist, dives into the intricate world of addiction. Drawing from her personal journey and professional expertise, Jiordana unpacks the neuroscience behind addictive behaviors. She explains the three stages of addiction, delves into the disease versus trauma model, and offers practical recovery strategies.
You'll learn about the roles of dopamine and serotonin, how childhood experiences shape addiction, and why mindfulness can be a powerful tool in recovery. Jiordana's candid discussion provides a compassionate look at the root causes of addiction and offers hope for those seeking a path to recovery. Whether you're personally affected by addiction or simply curious about the science behind it, this episode is both enlightening and empowering.
