But it’s not all doom and gloom. Chris and Matt share practical insights on managing chronic pain and addiction, emphasizing that recovery is a deeply personal journey requiring a multifaceted approach. They touch on various factors that can influence recovery, including diet, mental health benefits of nature, and even the impact of surfing.

Additionally, Matt Finch introduces his Ultimate Opiate Detox program, designed to help individuals conquer opioid addiction in a comfortable and effective way. Whether you’re struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable information and resources to help navigate the path to recovery.
