What leads to these biochemical imbalances in the first place, which leads people to actually really enjoy the effects of the alcohol and the drug so much that they become compulsive and even get into addiction, is, according to Dr Charles Gantt, when we have low, specific neurotransmitters.
Why do some people fall into the cycle of addiction while others manage to break free? Matt Finch tackles this crucial question in this episode of Elevation Recovery. He dives into the primary causes that lead to substance cravings and addiction, shedding light on factors like substance use, poor nutrition, exposure to toxins, stress, and genetic vulnerabilities. Finch explains how these risk factors can continue to affect you long after you’ve stopped using drugs or alcohol. But that’s not all.
Finch also discusses how undiagnosed health issues and the overuse of antibiotics can mess with your body’s balance, making you more susceptible to addiction. He explores how epigenetics and neutrogenomics can help optimize your body and reduce your risk of relapse. By the end of this episode, you'll have a clearer understanding of how addiction works on a cellular level and practical strategies for overcoming it.
Whether you’re in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into the science of addiction recovery.
