There are no failures in life, there's only lessons.
Ever wondered how someone can turn a life of addiction into one of holistic healing? In this episode of 'Dharma Junkie', host Justin Otto sits down with John Giordano, a man whose journey from the depths of addiction to becoming a beacon of hope in the recovery community is nothing short of remarkable. Growing up as the son of a heroin dealer and grappling with the trauma of childhood molestation, John fell deep into the world of drugs and alcohol.
But over thirty-five years ago, with his family's support, he took the first step towards recovery by entering rehab. Emerging from rehab, John was a changed man, driven by a mission to help others battling addiction. His commitment led him to earn numerous degrees and certifications, including Certified Addiction Professional (CAP) and Master Addiction Counselor (MAC). Dissatisfied with the care standards in existing treatment facilities, John took a bold step and founded his own center with just $300.
This initiative grew into the acclaimed G & G Holistic Addiction Treatment in North Miami. Throughout this episode, John shares not only his personal story but also the holistic healing methods that have proven effective in addiction treatment. He discusses the benefits of neurofeedback, acupuncture, and aromatherapy, and touches on the potential risks and rewards of ibogaine therapy. He also highlights the critical role of gut health in recovery.
John’s story is a testament to resilience and the power of holistic healing. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.
