But what makes this episode truly fascinating is Dr. Kelly's focus on neuroplasticity – the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. He explains how addiction rewires the brain to crave substances, but also how intentional practices like mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral therapy can create new pathways that support sobriety. The conversation doesn't stop there. Dr.
