ABOUT THE GUEST
Nico Morales was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He was an athlete, opiate user, and over drank alcohol. Now is an author, graduate, and business owner. Nico had adverse childhood experiences that he repressed, this mental unrest led to an exploration of substances, eventually propelling him into opiate use disorder. By twenty-two, Nico was living out of his truck and spent most of his time finding odd, sometimes illegal ways to make money to support his drug habit. After seeing others close to him pass from overdoses and recounting the times he came near death he recognized there was a reason he was still living. He put down the needle and unfortunately he picked up a bottle. The cycle of addiction repeated itself and because of the extent of Nico’s over drinking he found himself staying in a building with no utilities. After exploring different counseling techniques that were not successful Nico turned to an alternative method for care, personal development.

John Giordano transformed from a childhood marred by sexual abuse, homelessness, and severe addiction to become a respected addiction expert with 38 years of sobriety.
After starting his holistic treatment centre with just $300, he later sold it for $45 million.
Now a published author of three books and co-owner of Ketamine Clinic of South Florida, he's also an inspirational speaker and Chaplain for the North Miami Police Department, specialising in holistic mental health and trauma recovery. Recognised as a leading voice in addiction, he's appeared on national TV and radio shows and contributed to over 80 peer-reviewed research papers.
SUMMARY:
In this episode, our guest is John Giordano, a recovering addict with nearly 39 years of recovery under his belt. John shares his journey from being a heavy-duty heroin addict to becoming one of the leading experts on psychedelic treatment for addiction. He discusses the use of Ibogaine, a substance derived from a West African bush, which has shown remarkable results in detoxing addicts and reducing cravings.
John also talks about his work with Dr. Deborah Marsh, a pioneer in Ibogaine treatment. They used to administer the substance to patients, allowing them to review their past traumas and have cathartic experiences that lead to resolution and readiness for further treatment.
However, John emphasises that Ibogaine is not a magic bullet and that it should be followed by therapy and life skills training. John's story takes us through his own recovery journey, his experiences running an addiction treatment center, and his current work in the field.
He stresses the importance of addressing both the psychological and medical aspects of addiction, including looking at factors like thyroid function and gut health. John's story is a testament to the power of never giving up, no matter the circumstances.
His message is one of hope and resilience, demonstrating that it is possible to overcome addiction and lead a successful life.

Today, Karen uses her skills to help others discover their creative potential, whether they're college students or young people in Uganda.
