Addiction is a cycle. I noticed it fit right in there. So for the last 30 years, I've been teaching this and introducing it to people, and it makes complete sense. It really accurately describes what I observe in the people that are struggling.
What if the key to overcoming addiction lies in treating the mind, body, and spirit as one? In this episode of 'Your Road to Personal Addiction Recovery', Dr. William Nelson sits down with Randal Lyons, a Doctor of Chinese Medicine and shamanic practitioner who has been sober for over 29 years. Born in New York and now residing in Nova Scotia with his wife and two Siamese cats, Randal's path to recovery is anything but ordinary.
His 'field work' in drugs, music, and mayhem eventually led him to holistic medicine, which played a crucial role in his own journey to sobriety. Today, he uses his expertise to help others navigate their own paths to recovery. Randal shares his unique approach, blending traditional Chinese medicine with shamanic practices to address the mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical aspects of addiction.
He emphasizes the importance of a collaborative and integrated approach in treatment, working alongside Western hospitals, clinics, and world-class addiction centers. Through his program, The Sober Shaman, Randal offers an online addiction recovery course that aims to provide practical and valuable support for both individuals and healthcare professionals. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone seeking a comprehensive approach to addiction recovery.
Randal's story is not just about getting sober; it's about finding balance and healing in every aspect of life. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers hope and practical advice for a holistic path to sobriety.
