In ANEW Insight Episode 133, Dr. Supatra Tovar sits down with Addiction Recovery Specialist Lance Wright, whose powerful journey from childhood abandonment and untreated ADHD to meth addiction, incarceration, and eventual recovery reframes addiction as a survival response to unresolved trauma—not a moral failing.

With over 32 years of sobriety and founder of Life Over Addiction, Lance explains how his first encounter with meth created profound clarity and emotional relief, falsely quieting the chaos of untreated ADHD and childhood pain. That temporary calm reinforced addiction rather than healing, deepening the cycle of shame, self-medication, and emotional numbing.

This episode explores the deeper psychology of addiction, including:
 • How ADHD and trauma increase vulnerability to substance use
 • Why drugs can feel like “medicine” before becoming dependence
 • The role of neuroplasticity in recovery and emotional healing
 • How incarceration failed to address root causes while education transformed recovery
 • Why vulnerability and accountability restore identity
 • How forgiveness opened the door to purpose and redemption

Lance shares intimate reflections on childhood abandonment, punishment-based systems, discovering meaning through mentorship, and how the 12-step process supported not just sobriety—but emotional maturity and self-compassion. His story stands as a beacon of hope for anyone navigating addiction personally or supporting a loved one through recovery.

In this powerful second half of the ANEW Insight interview, Dr. Supatra Tovar and trauma expert Dr. Meg Haworth dive deep into healing trauma stored in the body, focusing on somatic recovery from narcissistic abuse. They explore how the body holds trauma from narcissistic abuse and reveal what it truly takes for healing trauma and effective recovery. Dr. Meg begins with a vital insight: “The body remembers what the mind forgets.” Survivors of narcissistic abuse experience chronic emotional charges such as guilt, shame, fear, and rage that become trapped in muscles, fascia, the nervous system, and the gut, leading to symptoms like chronic pain, anxiety, and emotional numbness. 

This episode unpacks trauma stored in the body, the dissociation survivors face, and why talk therapy is often insufficient. Dr. Meg presents the Whole Person Integration Technique, a somatic healing modality designed to help clients connect with stored emotional energy, communicate with the psyche’s symbolic language, and release wounds through nervous system regulation, intuitive insight, and self-compassion—key steps in the journey of narcissistic abuse recovery and healing trauma.

Listeners learn how toxic emotions such as shame, guilt, and rage wear down internal energy, and how loving emotions like joy, peace, and compassion can rebuild resilience. Dr. Meg and Dr. Supatra also explore breathwork, meditation, intuitive listening, visualization, and spiritual reconnecting—practices that help survivors rebuild identity, reclaim authenticity, and reconnect with their intuitive voice.

The conversation expands into the powerful intersection of nutrition and trauma recovery, exploring how inflammation, toxic food environments, hidden food sensitivities, and ultra-processed foods can worsen anxiety, depression, irritability, fatigue, or emotional reactivity. They emphasize mindful eating, body awareness, and learning how food impacts mood and energy.

Dr. Meg concludes with guidance on how to join her Toxic Parent Recovery Summit, access her courses, and explore her extensive content on narcissistic abuse, holistic healing, and spiritual integration.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, struggled with persistent symptoms, or sensed you were carrying emotions that “didn’t belong to you,” this episode offers a roadmap toward embodied healing, nervous system repair, and reclaiming self-trust.

In this second half of their powerful conversation, Dr. Supatra Tovar and quadruple board certified psychiatrist Dr. Vikas Gupta, founder of Wellness Psychiatry, tackle the topics that most GLP-1 discussions avoid: compounded medications, people who do not respond to GLP-1s, the explosion of disordered eating, and why a multidisciplinary, weight neutral approach is urgently needed.

Dr. Gupta begins by addressing the reality many patients face. When FDA approved GLP-1 medications are hard to access, people turn to compounding pharmacies, online prescribers, and social media dosing advice. He explains why the FDA does not endorse compounded GLP-1s, what that means for quality and safety, and the practical steps patients can take if they have relied on compounded versions in the past. Planning ahead with a prescriber, exploring manufacturer assistance programs, and maintaining a “metabolic scaffolding” of structured meals, hydration, and resistance training become essential if access changes.

They also discuss a risk that is rarely named out loud. Many people are now crowd sourcing their dose from the internet, posting syringe photos and asking strangers what to inject. Dr. Gupta underscores why dose decisions belong in a medical visit, not on a message board, and how honest conversations with a trusted clinician can protect both body and mind even when a patient has obtained medication elsewhere.

From there, the episode turns to non responders. What if you are on a GLP-1 and do not lose weight, or even gain? Dr. Gupta outlines the biological and behavioral reasons this happens, including receptor variability, dose issues, medication interactions, inflammation, thyroid function, sleep, and the way appetite suppression can quietly reduce movement and muscle. Dr. Tovar adds a deep dive into the body’s evolutionary response to restriction, explaining how aggressive calorie cuts trigger thermogenesis downshifts and “rebound” weight gain unless hunger, fullness, and nutrient quality are respected.

The heart of Part Two is an honest look at eating disorders and disordered eating in the GLP-1 era. Drawing on his work with higher levels of care, Dr. Gupta explains why GLP-1s are not appropriate in anorexia, atypical anorexia, or restrictive presentations, and why even a past history of an eating disorder should be a serious red flag. Together they explore how appetite suppression, rapid weight changes, and cultural praise for thinness can reactivate restriction, binge restrict cycles, and compulsive body checking.

Dr. Tovar highlights the role of weight stigma, comments on other people’s bodies, and the limits of BMI as a proxy for health. Both emphasize the need for Health at Every Size aligned care, screening tools like the EAT-26, and teams that include therapists, psychiatrists, and dietitians who understand eating disorders, trauma, and metabolic health.

The episode closes with Dr. Gupta’s hopeful vision for the future of psychiatry. He describes an upcoming landscape where metabolic data, genomics, microbiome science, nutrition, circadian rhythm, and emotional stories come together in one truly integrative model of care. He shares how Wellness Psychiatry is already working at that frontier and invites listeners to seek out clinicians who can read both lab values and life narratives with equal care.

In this powerful first half of a two-part conversation, Dr. Supatra Tovar sits down with quadruple board-certified psychiatrist and founder of Wellness Psychiatry, Dr. Vikas “Vic” Gupta, to explore one of today’s most urgent and misunderstood topics: how GLP-1 medications intersect with mental health, metabolism, nourishment, and whole-person wellness.

Dr. Gupta’s clinical work spans psychiatry, obesity medicine, lifestyle medicine, and metabolic health. Having served on the faculty at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, and currently holding leadership roles within the American Psychiatric Association and AACAP, he is one of the nation’s leading voices on the future of integrative psychiatric care.

This episode begins with the foundation of his model: the inseparable connection between mind, metabolism, and meaning. Dr. Gupta explains that many individuals labeled “treatment-resistant” aren’t resistant at all — they’re experiencing disrupted sleep, erratic nourishment, ultra-processed diets, glucose instability, or chronic inflammation, all of which mimic or intensify psychiatric symptoms.

Dr. Tovar and Dr. Gupta take a deep dive into how GLP-1 medications reshape appetite, hormones, mood, and motivation — and why nutrient quality matters more than calorie quantity. They break down:

• What balanced nourishment looks like on GLP-1s
 • Why protein-only messaging is misleading and potentially harmful
 • How fiber, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats stabilize mood and protect metabolic health
 • Why hunger cues disappear on GLP-1s — and why scheduled meals often become essential
 • How whole-food, plant-forward eating supports natural GLP-1 production

The conversation also turns to alcohol, delayed gastric emptying, nausea, and why even one drink can hit harder on these medications. Dr. Gupta outlines clear, practical risk-reduction strategies and explains why cravings for alcohol may drop due to GLP-1 receptor activity in the brain.

Side effects take center stage as Dr. Tovar asks about the real-world symptoms patients report online: hair loss, constipation, black stools, vision changes, and emotional flattening. Dr. Gupta offers evidence-based guidance on titration, dosing, nausea management, texture-modified diets, magnesium, fiber, hydration, and when to hit pause or decrease dosage to protect both physical and psychological wellbeing.

Together, they illuminate the psychiatric red flags often missed in purely medical weight-loss settings — including emotional blunting, rapid body-image shifts, resurfacing trauma, compulsive tracking, and substitution behaviors like increased alcohol use.

This episode is essential listening for anyone using GLP-1 medications, thinking about them, or supporting someone who is. It blends psychiatry, nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and compassionate mental-health care into one of the clearest, most practical conversations available anywhere.

What turns a promising modality into a true game-changer? In Part 2, Dr. Supatra Tovar and trauma psychologist Dr. H Haugen (Dr. H) go deeper into Multichannel Eye Movement Integration (MEMI)—how Dr. H discovered it, why she now trains clinicians to use it, and what makes results feel more durable than exposure-heavy approaches. You’ll hear how MEMI engages the entire visual field to disrupt stuck recall loops, why clients don’t have to retell their story, and the exact safety tools (anchoring, therapeutic dissociation, physical grounding, client control at every step) that keep sessions tolerable—even for those who previously turned around in the parking lot.

We unpack the origin story (book → training → consultation), current research momentum (case studies underway; growing clinician interest), and use cases spanning “big-T” and “small-t” trauma—combat, grief, childhood adversity, relationship ruptures, anxiety, and depression. Dr. H shares striking clinical outcomes, explains how progress is measured across sensory channels (sight, sound, body, emotion) with simple 0–4 scales, and clarifies what happens after the target resolves: rebuilding routines, confidence, relationships, and identity so life expands again.

What you’ll learn

• Why MEMI can feel safer and faster than EMDR/PE/CPT when verbal exposure isn’t tolerated
• How full-field eye movements may be the missing piece for clients who stalled on EMDR
• The three safety pillars: anchoring, therapeutic dissociation, and physical grounding
• How to track completion with sensory distress scaling and client-led satisfaction checks
• Why MEMI opens doors for “problem states” beyond formal PTSD diagnoses
• The pathway for clinicians: book → on-demand training → consultation → real-world outcomes
  
  
  

Action steps

• If you’re a clinician, identify one client for a sensory-first target (no story retell).
• If you’re a survivor, try an externalization drill: “cast” the image on a wall to create distance, then do a 90-second longer-exhale breath reset.
• Save Dr. H’s contact to explore training or referrals: [email protected] and the MEMI training hub at eyemovementintegration.com.

In this illuminating episode of The ANEW Insight Podcast, Dr. Supatra Tovar welcomes trauma psychologist and Multichannel Eye Movement Integration (MEMI) pioneer, Dr. H Haugen, for an in-depth conversation that bridges neuroscience, psychology, and compassion.

Dr. Haugen — affectionately known as Dr. H — has an extraordinary background that blends data analytics, leadership consulting, and trauma psychology. After earning her MBA from Columbia University and a PhD in psychology specializing in trauma and spirituality, she now dedicates her work to helping trauma survivors heal through advanced eye-movement therapies.

This first part of the conversation traces Dr. H’s inspiring journey from corporate consulting in Washington D.C. to the front lines of trauma care at the VA, where she worked with veterans struggling with PTSD, substance use, and brain injuries. Her story is one of rediscovering purpose and returning to her early passion for helping others heal from pain, adversity, and disconnection.

Dr. Tovar and Dr. H unpack the emotional and relational foundations of trauma therapy — why empathy, presence, and attunement often matter more than any technique. Dr. H shares that true healing begins when people feel fully seen, respected, and safe, and that mindfulness and deep listening can be just as powerful as structured interventions.

Listeners will also gain a clear, research-based understanding of evidence-based trauma treatments such as Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Trauma-Focused CBT. Dr. H explains how these approaches work — and why they often fall short for clients who cannot verbalize traumatic memories or tolerate long sessions of exposure.

From there, the episode introduces MEMI (Multichannel Eye Movement Integration) — a groundbreaking therapy that uses the entire visual field to help the brain release trauma. Unlike EMDR, which typically moves side to side, MEMI integrates movement across all directions of the visual field, disrupting fixed neural pathways and calming the limbic system — the part of the brain that controls emotional memory and fear response.

Dr. H’s clinical results are astonishing. Many clients experience major breakthroughs in as little as one session. MEMI works without requiring verbal retelling of trauma, instead focusing on sensory and somatic cues such as color, sound, and body sensations. This approach allows healing to occur neurologically and organically, reducing distress without retraumatization.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in trauma recovery, neuropsychology, or innovative therapeutic methods that go beyond talk therapy. It offers both professionals and survivors a rare glimpse into the next frontier of trauma healing — one that integrates compassion, science, and the body’s own wisdom.

If you’ve ever felt that traditional talk therapy wasn’t enough, or wondered how modern neuroscience is reshaping trauma treatment, this episode will transform how you think about healing.

 In Part 2, Dr. Supatra Tovar continues her conversation with Rosie Aiello—Women’s Life & Transformation Coach, international speaker, and bestselling author—on how survivors can break generational conditioning, stop people-pleasing, and rebuild a life rooted in kind love. We unpack the cultural scripts that silence women (“be nice, keep the peace”), why love-bombing is an early red flag, and how trauma responses like people-pleasing keep you in unsafe dynamics. Rosie reframes forgiveness as self-release from resentment, not approval of harm, and shares practical steps: trauma-informed therapy, nervous-system regulation, value-based boundaries, and daily mantras that restore self-trust. We close with a powerful reminder: your intuition is a compass—slow your breath, listen inward, and choose relationships that honor your voice.

What you’ll learn

• How culture and family patterns normalize people-pleasing—and how to exit the script
• Early warning signs: love-bombing, fast escalation, control masked as “care”
• Forgiveness without excusing abuse: releasing resentment to reclaim power
• Nervous-system tools to hear your intuition (longer exhale, body check-ins)
• Building value-based boundaries and finding the right trauma-informed support
• Resources for safe exits, affordable therapy, and survivor-centered communities

In this powerful and deeply human episode of The ANEW Insight Podcast, Dr. Supatra Tovar sits down with Women’s Life & Transformation Coach, Speaker & Author Rosie Aiello — a woman whose story moved the world, changed laws, and inspired a national movement of hope for women everywhere.

Rosie lived through 25 years of emotional, verbal, financial, and psychological abuse while living in the Middle East. For nearly two decades, she believed she had to endure it. She believed staying was safer than leaving. She believed her voice had no power. Until one day… her daughter looked at her and asked her to save both of them.

That moment became the turning point.

In this episode, Rosie shares how she secretly planned her escape for four months — while still living with her abuser — developing the internal courage and spiritual strength required to leave a life she once thought she was trapped inside forever. She opens up about the shame, isolation, conditioning, and survival responses that keep women stuck in abusive relationships. And she breaks down how painful cycles of manipulation, intermittent reinforcement, the “honeymoon phase,” and gaslighting fracture identity, erode intuition, and destroy self-trust.

Rosie also shares how rebuilding her life required building a new internal world — not rushing into new relationships, not bypassing pain, but instead doing the intensive emotional work of becoming whole again. She reveals how trauma therapy, nervous system regulation, mantras, boundaries, values work, and intentionally rebuilding her sense of self led her to reclaim her confidence, rebuild safety, and create a new life rooted in joy, respect, and sovereignty.

Rosie went on to co-found National Love Is Kind Day with her daughter — transforming her personal nightmare into a global mission to inspire 100 million women and children to believe they deserve safe, kind, reciprocal love.

This episode is for every woman who has ever questioned her worth, doubted her intuition, minimized her pain, or normalized mistreatment because she believed she did not deserve more.
