For a drug addict, what happens is that the drug overtakes their motivation system and they are highly motivated, but they're highly motivated for the wrong thing.
What really drives our desires and how can we harness that power for better health and happiness? In this eye-opening episode of 'Beat Your Addictions', John Giordano sits down with Kiosh Iselin from The Desire Clinic to break down the intricate relationship between dopamine and desire. Kiosh, a Mayo Clinic-trained wellness coach with a passion for science and a love for swing dancing, shares his mission to reconnect desire, pleasure, and health.
He dives into how our desire system works and its critical role in motivation, especially for those grappling with addiction. Kiosh explains the importance of reconnecting with meaningful activities and how consistency can forge new pathways in our brains. He also touches on the value of individual therapy and personal stories in this journey. With a focus on attitude adjustment and the link between exercise and overall well-being, this episode offers practical insights for anyone looking to improve their life.
Whether you're struggling with addiction or simply want to understand more about the science of desire, this conversation is packed with valuable takeaways.
