I think that nutrition, exercise, meditation, mindfulness, all of these things which don't necessarily involve medications can be a real boost to patients' recovery, whether they're just entering recovery and doing the detox or even later on to help with preventing relapse.
Imagine a doctor who sees you as more than just a set of symptoms. In this episode of Recovery Innovators Radio, host James H. Healy sits down with Dr. Damon Raskin, a board-certified internist and addiction medicine specialist, to discuss his unique approach to healthcare. Dr. Raskin believes in 'slow medicine', a philosophy that emphasizes the importance of doctors taking the time to truly understand their patients as individuals.
This means looking beyond the immediate health issue and considering the whole person – their lifestyle, their stressors, and their goals. Dr. Raskin's practice is rooted in holistic methods, incorporating nutrition, exercise, meditation, and mindfulness into his treatment plans. He shares how mindful eating and healthy fats can boost brain function and reduce cravings, offering practical tips that anyone can incorporate into their daily life.
The conversation also touches on the use of CBD for pain relief and the potential risks and benefits of marijuana in addiction recovery. One of the standout points is Dr. Raskin's advocacy for medication-assisted therapies, tailored to each individual's needs. He stresses that there's no one-size-fits-all solution in addiction recovery; personalized care is key. The episode wraps up with Dr. Raskin offering advice for those supporting loved ones through recovery and sharing a bit about his own hobbies and interests.
If you're looking for a fresh perspective on addiction recovery that goes beyond traditional methods, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Raskin's approach combines medical expertise with genuine compassion, making it clear that effective recovery is about more than just treating symptoms – it's about healing the whole person.
