Before I talk about todays guest, I want to share that I am celebrating 9 years of hosting the podcast! I have interviewed more than 400 people, many NYT best selling authors, all kinds of experts, and I celebrate all paths of recovery. Im obviously a huge 12 step advocate, but I also interview people who get sober through yoga, fitness, celebrate recovery, recovery 2.0, She Recovers, online groups, SMART recovery, and recovery darma, just to name a few.

It has been my honor to introduce you to so many amazing people who have dedicated their lives to helping others heal from addiction, in all its forms.

Healing from addiction isnt just about stopping a behavior its about healing the root cause beneath it. In this episode, we explore a powerful new frontier in recovery ketamine-assisted therapy. While traditional talk therapy has its place, there are times when it cant reach the depths of trauma stored in the body and subconscious mind.

Im not a doctor (and I dont play one on the internet), so Ive invited someone who is. Todays guest is a licensed medical doctor and expert in addiction recovery who specializes in ketamine treatment. Dr Mark Hrymoc and I discuss how this medicine is being used to help people access and heal core emotional wounds that often drive addiction and how its changing lives in ways many never thought possible.

Whether youre in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about emerging approaches to healing, this conversation offers insight, hope, and a deeper understanding of what real recovery can look like.

So without further delay, please enjoy this episode, and let me know what you think!
