This research offers a significant opportunity to learn more about how our body possesses the ability to heal itself once we know how to utilize it correctly.
What if the key to overcoming addiction lies within your own body? In this eye-opening episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Coach Blu sits down with Dr. Kyle Bills, an associate dean for research at The Nordic College of Osteopathic Medicine, to discuss groundbreaking research that could revolutionize addiction treatment. Dr. Bills dives into how our bodies have the innate ability to heal themselves, provided we know the right techniques and tools to unlock this potential.
One of the most fascinating aspects discussed is the role of the spine in addiction. Dr. Bills explains how the spine, rich in receptors, sends crucial signals to the brain that influence our experiences of joy, love, and empathy. Drugs of abuse disrupt these signals, dulling life's pleasures. But through specific treatments and exercises, individuals can reawaken these pathways, allowing positive experiences to flood back in.
The conversation also touches on the importance of forming strong, unchanging attachments as a cornerstone for building resilience and overcoming addiction. Exercise and physical therapy emerge as powerful allies in this journey, offering not just physical benefits but also emotional and psychological support. The episode delves into the roles of dopamine and learning cues in addiction, strategies for overcoming anxiety and fear, and the importance of taking personal responsibility for one's recovery.
This episode is not just informative; it's a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction. It underscores the potential of a holistic approach to treatment, emphasizing that recovery is not just about getting clean but about rebuilding a fulfilling life. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers valuable insights and practical advice to guide you on the path to healing.
