What is addiction and why do people have it?

If you’re interested in knowing more about why addiction isn’t a conscious choice listen to my guest this week Dr Nzinga Harrison, a board-certified physician with specialties in psychiatry and addiction medicine.

She is also the chief medical officer and cofounder of Eleanor Health, an innovative mental health and addiction treatment company. She holds an adjunct faculty appointment at the Morehouse School of Medicine and sits on the Practice Management and Regulatory Affairs Committee for the American Society of Addiction Medicine.

In her book Un-Addiction she draws on peer-reviewed research and decades of addiction treatment expertise, to reveal the factors that predict one’s risk for addiction.

Dt Nzinga helps us understand that addiction is a chronic illness, like diabetes or asthma; that our risk for addiction comes with our biology and heritability, childhood experience, physical environment, discrimination, and cultural influence, and that it requires treatment and deserves compassion.

Dr Nzinga shows us that we can undo stigma surrounding addiction, and uncover critical conversations that could end the epidemic.

You can find out more about Dr Nzinga’s work on https://www.nzingaharrisonmd.com/

Why should taking care of our gut bacteria be the starting point for maintaining optimal physical and mental health?

If you’re interested in being physically & mentally well, listen to my guest this week Louise Macnab, founder of Jerms an advanced 4-in-1 powder delivering. Probiotics, Prebiotics, Digestive Enzymes and Organic Superfoods & Vitamins, targeted at the health of your gut. 

Her journey started from a lack of work/life balance as a corporate lawyer. She experienced burnout & chronic stress induced gut issues. Learning that gut bacteria has such a significant impact on our bodies & daily wellbeing she set out to change bacteria’s bad rep & normalise the discussion around our bodily functions- because gut health is health!

Louise helps us understand that the ’germs’ in our guts influence everything from mood and hormones to metabolism and beyond. And when we create a thriving, healthy eco-system of bacteria in our bodies we feel so much better.

She shows us how to build long term health and happiness by focusing on prevention rather than cure, and by adopting a "gut microbiome first" approach.

Can we prioritise the urgent need to teach young people, especially those from the care system, about consent. And that with the right support and guidance there is hope at the end of the tunnel.

If you are interested in how we can heal even after a traumatic childhood, listen to my guest this week, Hope Daniels, Sunday Times bestselling author who describes in her latest book This isn’t Love, how she went from living with alcoholic parents to a chaotic childhood in care with sexual abuse from an older man, to addiction in adulthood, until she turned it around in therapy and now advocates for young people in care & a safer system for them to grow up in.

Hope shares her experiences and advocates for a better world in which children who are under the care of the state can trust that they will be safe from abuse and sexual exploitation. 

Hope shows us that no matter what we have experienced in the past, when we get the right support we can heal and in turn, go on to stand up for the rights of all.

You can buy Hope’s books in all good bookstores.

And follow her on Linkedin under her real name Dr Jenny Molloy.

Warning- there is swearing and discussion of sexual exploitation in this episode.

How to find your purpose, even if, and especially when the road is long and winding?

If you’re interested in how consciously designed therapeutic places can help your mental health, listen this week to my guest Patsy Richardson.

Formerly a corporate Director of Marketing for Cadbury, she changed a winding career path after a kidney failure. She saw this life threatening disease and subsequent kidney transplant as a gift to change paths, and find her true purpose in life.

She founded the Greenhouse Therapy Rooms, a woodland themed, dedicated calm space for therapists to work with their clients in person.

She has created a community ethos where clients are respected, the therapists respect and support each other, and mental health is promoted and celebrated. We need more places like this!

Why does matcha give all the caffeine and none of the crash? Could this really be a ‘healthy’ energy drink? The facts are convincing.

If you're interested in learning how we can help manage our anxiety or ADHD with alternative organic healthy energy drinks to stay more energised and focused without the crash, then tune in to this week's guest Marisa Poster, co-founder of PerfectTed a healthy energy beverage brand which smashed it on Dragon's Den, got investment from Steven Barlett and has now, two years late grown by 11,000%.

- All five judges on Dragons Den wanted to invest 
- @steven Bartlett did invest & now PerfectTed sponsor his podcast 
-PerfectTed went through Steven’s First Flight incubator - Steven has now invested £1M in them - They have an annual revenue of £12M 
-They have grown 11000% in the last 2 years (yes 11000%)  
What about the drink itself?

It’s delicious. It packs a punch. Keeps our fast brains on the straight and narrow (focus for ADHD) 

Its 80mg of matcha tea is organic, ceremonial grade and it’s grown in the best region of Japan for matcha on regenerative farms using traditional methods. 

 That means you’re getting loads of antioxidants & L-theanine which are all super good for your body, mind and mood. 

 And it’s kind to the planet. 

This young woman is disrupting the energy & cola drinks space (with all their synthetics, sugars, chemicals etc) and is set to be a global health beverage giant. How cool is that.

Marisa shows us that it is possible to turn our own challenges into an advantage, for our own good and for the benefit of others.
